Spotlight on the Seller - Kallisto Cremes

Kallisto Creams is a small business creating handmade natural skincare products with Maria at the helm of production.

After years of using expensive high street brands to look after my skin I stumbled upon a number of articles which uncovered the hidden harmful effects of their chemical ingredients.

Considering these products were applied on the skin every day and night and approximately sixty percent of that is absorbed by the body, would you purposely cover your skin in something that you knew was actually harmful and poisonous?

 Now my passion for healthy skin led me making my own products without being laden with harmful chemicals; healthy and radiant skin achieved the natural way.

Kallisto Creams is a lifestyle choice for those ethically conscious individuals who desire moisturised, protected and radiant skin but seek an alternative to the mass-produced chemically laden toiletries and cosmetics without sacrificing any luxury.

We have created remedies that nourish, hydrate and rejuvenate your skin and help maintain a youthful natural balance. 

All our products are handmade and infused with the traditional benefits of herbs, fruit, vegetables and oils; skincare the way Mother Nature intended.

 Our range of natural body creams and skin care products are handmade in small batches so that you will receive them at their best.

 This means you receive your skincare product in the freshest possible condition and we can use the smallest amount of preservative possible.

All our products meet with the current UK and EU Cosmetics Products Regulations and have passed a Safety Assessment by an independent laboratory.

You will find all my products in The Light Leeds at the Fabrication shop which  is social enterprise which aims to provide help and development for over 40 micro craft businesses.

Thank you,

Maria Psarra-Parker
