Rizes Crete

Rizes Crete imagines and handcrafts natural cosmetics, olive wood utensils and sustainable textiles inspired by the Cretan landscape. Thanks to traditional know-how and a rigorous selection of local materials, the brand offers handcrafted creations that combine well-being, authenticity and elegance.

The essence of Crete transformed into an art of living

Based in Gianoudi, near Réthymnon, Rizes Crete is a brand deeply rooted in the Cretan landscape. Its inspiration comes from the olive tree, local plants and Mediterranean craftsmanship. As a result, every creation – from facial care to home accessories and textiles – reflects a style that is both authentic and modern.

Products are handcrafted in small series, using artisanal techniques. Thanks to the use of natural, sustainable and local materials, the brand combines elegance, commitment and well-being.

The benefits at the heart of every Rizes Crete creation

  • Natural cosmetics

The range includes creams, balms, oils and soaps. Based on typical Greek ingredients (aloe vera, organic olive oil, donkey’s milk), these products offer gentle moisturizing without synthetic agents.

  • Olive wood utensils

Salad bowls, boards, spoons and other utensils are carved from recycled olive wood. Thanks to a natural oiling process, each object reveals the beauty of its veins, while remaining resistant and durable.

  • Textiles and accessories

Towels, cushions and plaids are made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen. Inspired by the bohemian Mediterranean aesthetic, they bring comfort and warmth. The brand also offers bags and pouches in jute or cotton, perfect for accompanying skincare treatments or offering an ethical gift.

Frequently asked questions about natural cosmetics

What are the benefits of olive oil-based cosmetics?

Olive oil intensely moisturizes the skin, while providing antioxidants. In fact, its richness in vitamin E and essential fatty acids ensures supple, protected skin every day.

How to recognize a quality natural skincare product?

A good natural skincare product is distinguished by its short composition, free of parabens and silicones. In addition, ingredients must be easily identifiable and of plant origin, with clear certification.

Can natural skincare products be used on sensitive skin?

Yes, because their gentle, synthetic fragrance-free formulas limit the risk of reaction. As a result, they are ideal for reactive skin, even for children or atopic skin.

What's the difference between industrial soap and natural soap?

Natural soaps are often cold-saponified, which preserves the vegetable glycerin. Unlike industrial soaps, it contains no harsh preservatives or synthetic surfactants.

How best to store natural cosmetics?

We recommend storing them away from heat and direct light. This prolongs their shelf life without altering their properties or texture.
