Through upcycling, we obtain our cosmetic extract by sourcing the marcs, which are the by-products of cultivation, from the Union of Santorini Cooperatives/Santowine. This marks the first time that the great volume of Santorin Grape vinification by-products is not discarded, but rather used to produce a cosmetic extract. After the marcs have been dried for 48 hours under the bright Greek sun, we extract them using only natural solvents following a 100% zero-waste process. Any solid residue is composted and upcycled into organic fertilizer, returning to the soil to nourish the very crops from which the marcs were derived. The valuable Greek Grape extract is incorporated in our Santorini Grape skincare collection.
