LAOUTA

Laouta is founded by former landscape designer Evi Lachana who is born and raised in Karpathos, a beautiful Greek island in the Mediterranean Sea. On her private fields of Karpathos, Evi and her mother grow some of the powerful plants and herbs used in Laouta skincare. Together they distill the plants into the essential oils that shape the wonderful and invigorating natural fragrance used in the products, such as orange peel, grapefruit, petitgrain, and geranium. Evi is inspired by the nature surrounding her from which she creates 100% natural skincare with a base of extra virgin olive oil and powerful Greek herbs. These customized and handmade products will hydrate, nourish and leave a delicate, soft scent on the skin.

 

MEET THE FOUNDER - LAOUTA

 

HOW DID IT ALL START?

After I graduated university of Agriculture in Thessaloniki, I moved to Athens and started to pursue my career. I began working as a landscape designer and everything seemed fine until the big fat Greek economic crisis showed up. The office I was working at closed down and I began working as a waitress at an Italian restaurant. Nothing wrong with that, but I knew I had to do something more. One day my mother, who is a Chemical Engineer, told me that she had a new hobby; she collects wild herbs from our land (Laouta) in Karpathos Island and she makes soaps with olive oil. I said “wow that’s amazing, that’s my new job!”. After long research, many seminars, and a lot of work alongside with my husband, Laouta natural products became a promising brand in the field of cosmetics.
