- Elixir of Elysium — a body soap with olive oil and honey.
- Daphne & Dionysus — a soap with olive oil and grape.
- Mediterranean Rose and Aegean Essence — eau de parfum.
What “natural” means to Root
“Natural” is an easy word to print on a box. Root explains what it means with specific points:
- According to the company, the products are made exclusively from edible ingredients.
- They are vegan, SLS-free and dermatologically tested.
- No product is ever tested on animals.
- The facility runs an ISO 22716 quality system, the international standard for good manufacturing practice in cosmetics.

For businesses: wholesale and soaps with your own name
Root works mainly wholesale, which is why its online shop shows no retail prices. It also makes custom soaps and packaging with your brand identity — an idea, for example, for a guesthouse or a gift shop that wants something from the region. For prices and orders you contact Root directly.
