APIVITA, a Greek beauty brand (born in 1979), has opened its very 1st beauty boutique in Singapore. It is conveniently located @ ION Orchard B3-45/46.
The name 'APIVITA' means the life of a bee and it stems from the Latin words APIS (bee) and VITA (life). APIVITA's name reflects identity and their philosophy for an organized, productive and sustainable development modeled as the society of the bee.
APIVITA's logo is inspired by the Bees of Malia, a rare piece of Minoan jewelry from the 18th-17th century BC. The two bees, together, form a union, symbolizing fertility and harmony. They are surrounded by an open circle which represents the lyre of Apollo, symbolizing devotion, sustainable development and belief in ancient Greek culture.
You will be delighted to know that APIVITA products have a natural ingredients content ranging between 80 to 100%. All new product developed are free of commonly used synthetic ingredients, a fact that minimizes side effects.
APIVITA also incorporates the Honey Bee products into the creation of their skincare line.
Ingredients in which APIVITA borrows from the Honey Bee include:
- Propolis - nature’s miracle antiseptic
- Honey - the purest natural energy source
- Royal jelly - nature’s secret elixir
- Bee pollen - the richest source of amino acids in the natural world
Fennel, one of APIVITA's natural ingredients, contains moisturizing and anti-irritant properties. It also reduces the intensity and number of brown spots on the skin. [READ MORE]
