APIVITA Body Tonic - Toning Body Milk with Bergamont and Green Tea

The company is Greek but the name APIVITA is from the Latin. APIS (bee) and VITA (Life); one could say, "The life of the bee." Bees, beehives and their natural cycle of life are of primary importance in the APIVITA line.

The company traces its roots back to "The Father of Medicine," Hippocrates who once said, "Nature is the most dominant ruler of all." A video which I encourage you to view is simply titled, APIVITA Company. It is in Greek with English subtitles. At the very beginning of the video you well see the above quote from Hippocrates in Greek. Now you will understand the meaning immediately. With Greek music, beautiful vistas of Greek nature and introductions to people in the APIVITA Company, the video introduces the thoughtfully planned, prepared and innovative health and beauty care product lines.

Customer service at the Apivita web site has all the information you need to order products and to find stores around the world.

One day as I was leaving the pharmacy, my pharmacist, Stella, offered me a small bottle containing 75 ml of Toning Body Milk with Bergamot and Green Tea. I paused for a moment because the bottle seemed large to me for a sample, until I quickly remembered that the Greek are a generous people.

The products from Apivita are usually labelled in Greek, English and Italian. So with great confidence I can tell you that the composition of the body tonic includes natural ingredients, without synthetic chemicals.

"Water is Replaced with Organic Hammanelis Infusion.

Bergamont is the flavoring that gives Earl Grey Tea its classic scent and taste. I brewed some Earl Grey Classic from Fortnum & Mason (Piccadilly Since 1707) to compare the scent of the tea to that of the body tonic. The tea has a much stronger fragrance that stands up to say, "Want a cup of Earl Grey?" On the other hand, the fragrance of the body tonic is subtle on the skin and lasts throughout the day, remaining fresh and pleasant. The scent of the bergamont and green tea combination in the lotion is unique and understated.

The product is indeed a white milky color which pours quickly from the bottle. The lotion is slightly thick and very light. The body milk is soaked quickly into the skin when applied, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth.

I highly recommend the Apivita Toning Body Milk with Bergamont and Green Tea for dry skin in need of gentle toning.
