~ ABOUT THE BRAND ~

Theodora Ntovas

Combining her Greek heritage with a passion for a results-driven luxurious organic skincare line, Theodora Ntovas created YASOU Natural Skin Care, “Greek-Inspired Natural Skin”.  In Greek, “Yasou” is a familiar greeting, translated to mean “to your health”.  We’re familiar with the many health benefits of a balanced and healthy diet, which is part of the Greek diet, integral to the Mediterranean Diet; it’s no different when it comes to the health benefits of YASOU Natural Skin Care…it’s like the Mediterranean Diet, but for your face and body!

Although Theodora Ntovas grew up in Chicago, part of her childhood was spent living in Greece, where she immersed herself with family, culture, and heritage.  As an adult, these experiences were transformative.  She’d regularly go to the farmer’s markets in the picturesque village of Archia Feneos (Peloponnese region near Corinth).  There, she’d marvel at nature’s bounty and especially its local organic produce, which included olive oil, flower and plant extracts, and beeswax.  She also observed that the local women, who generally made their own skincare products from these ingredients, all had a youthful vibrancy to their skin’s appearance, along with a healthy and youthful glow to their skin.

These combined experiences motivated her passion and she began her quest to learn as much as possible about cosmetic science, aromatherapy, and natural skincare solutions.  She’d eventually partner with noted chemist and formulator Nestor Tomasi, and the brand YASOU was borne.

At the heart of each product's formulation is the proprietary Calityl-O Complex, which delivers an infusion of certified organic extra virgin olive oil, and Vitamins A and E.  These powerful natural anti-oxidants aid in anti-aging properties, such as diminishing inflammation, providing an effective barrier against free radicals, and delivering nourishing and restorative nutrients to the skin’s mantle.  Product ingredients are certified organic and natural, with formulations that target specific skincare related aspects, while delivering restorative and therapeutic properties.

~ THE PRODUCT EXPERIENCE ~

Natural Cellular Day Cream and Natural Cell Renewal Night Cream ~ To me, both the Day Cream and Night Cream are definitely YASOU’s “dynamic duo”.  Both Creams had a luxurious feel to them; the consistency was concentrated, so very little was needed to adequately hydrate the skin; product was quickly absorbed and didn’t leave any residue; hydration levels were maintained throughout the day and night.  Once applied, I immediately noticed luminosity to my skin after applying both products; it was a healthy and revitalized glow.  I also noticed that fine lines and wrinkles were diminished.  Skin tone also appeared more even; my faint hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and around my mouth area also were minimized.  Key ingredients for the Day Cream include lemon, orange, apple, and cucumber extracts, green tea, Vitamins E and C, certified organic extra virgin olive oil, and grape seed extract.  Key ingredients for the Night Cream include shea butter, aloe leaf juice, jojoba oil, Vitamin B, cucumber extract, Vitamin C, certified organic extra virgin olive oil, and Vitamin E.

Natural Body Cream ~ This rich luxurious Body Cream glides on easily, leaving the skin feeling silky; the product is absorbed quickly without leaving any greasy or tacky residue; hydration levels are maintained throughout the day.  Key ingredients include cypress, lavender, and mandarin essential oils, Vitamin E, caffeine, calendula, rosemary, honey, olive oil, shea butter, aloe, jojoba oil.
