Founder’s Note

A Note from our Founder

I spent my formative years on a remote family farm, where daily life was shaped by the land and careful attention to what was needed.

Our family lived simply, without modern conveniences. One of the most influential people in my life was my grandmother — a naturalist long before the term was popular. She trusted the land, paid close attention to natural cycles, and believed the body often needs less, not more.

That way of thinking stayed with me.

Years later, when my son was born with severe eczema, I began looking closely at what we were using on his skin — and at what was quietly being accepted as normal in personal care. Ingredient lists were long. Fragrances unnecessary. The results inconsistent.

At the same time, my husband was producing high-antioxidant olive oil from his family’s groves in Greece — oil made with care, freshness, and intention. We had been working with this oil for years, and I understood it not just as an ingredient, but as a foundation. Olive oil had always been part of our lives, but this was oil made properly, with purpose.

So I began formulating simple, olive-oil–based care — focused on skin that needed extra support, comfort, and protection. Olive Farmacy was never created as a trend or a brand idea. It grew quietly, through use, need, and trust. The olive oil was always at the center.

Today, Olive Farmacy is entering a new chapter.

The skincare we’ve quietly developed alongside our olive oil for years is now being offered on its own.

This chapter begins with women-centered care — a small collection of external-use balms designed for everyday needs, from irritation and dryness to recovery and repair. Each formula is made with restraint and purpose, using olive oil as the foundation and a short list of carefully chosen botanicals.

We believe skincare should feel clean — not compromised. Familiar. Intentional. Respectful of sensitive skin.

This is quiet care, shaped by experience — not excess.

  • Olive Oil First

    Olive oil is the foundation of every formula. We work with high-antioxidant oil chosen for freshness, skin compatibility, and functional performance — not as a marketing ingredient, but as a working one.

  • Restraint in Formulation

    We believe fewer, well-chosen ingredients do more. Our formulas are intentionally short, made without unnecessary additives, synthetic fragrance, or filler ingredients.

  • Women-Centered Care

    This chapter of Olive Farmacy focuses on external care for women — designed to support sensitive skin in areas often overlooked or over-treated.
