SantOrganics
Family-run business in Santorini, combining the production of essential oils, natural cosmetics, aromatic herbs and immersive experiences based on the Cycladic terroir.
A company shaped by Santorini's volcanic environment
The environment in which SantOrganics operates plays a central role:
Santorini has mineral-rich volcanic soil, a dry climate, constant winds and resistant flora, all of which directly influence the aromas, oils and botanical intensity of the Greek plant.
SantOrganics doesn’t just extract oils or package herbs: the brand claims a holistic approach, focused on transforming local raw materials into natural skincare and wellness products.
Their boutique is a showcase for craftsmanship focused on island scents, emblematic plants and a vision of a purer Mediterranean lifestyle.
Products: essential oils, herbs, natural care
SantOrganics’ offer is based on several categories:
Essential oils and natural extracts
Made from Mediterranean plants (sage, thyme, lavender, oregano…), distilled or macerated in an artisanal process inspired by the traditional methods of the South Aegean.
Dried aromatic herbs
Representative of Santorini’s flora: volcanic oregano, wild thyme, blends for infusions or local cooking.
Natural cosmetics
Creams, serums, body oils, soaps, all made from the same plants as their range of oils.
The continuity between ingredients, aromatics and plantations lends a rare coherence.
Local objects & crafts
A complementary selection designed to reflect Cycladic savoir-faire.
These products are structured around a single theme: showcasing local botanical material.
Experiences: tastings, workshops and sensory trails
What sets SantOrganics apart from conventional producers is its immersive experience offering:
Tastings of local oils and herbs
Cycladic plant workshops
Guided “Santorini” tours on the traditional use of plants
Sensory and educational experiences to discover the island’s scents
Themed tours organized for visitors
(presented on their website: santorini island experiences, natural tours, herbal walks, etc.).
These activities place SantOrganics in a different dynamic: as a producer, yes, but also as a cultural mediator between visitors and Santorini’s plant ecosystem.
This experiential dimension strengthens their legitimacy, moves away from the image of a simple “souvenir shop” and brings the company closer to a modern island botanical center.
A producer who combines craftsmanship, education and local produce
The company takes on several roles at once:
– artisan producer,
– transmitter of herbal traditions,
– player in cultural tourism,
– ambassador for Santorini’s plants.
This plurality is its trademark.
Rather than limiting itself to a range, SantOrganics defends an idea: the island’s botanical value deserves to be experienced, tasted, breathed in, explored.
It is this immersive, local, educational approach that really sets the brand apart.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about plants, oils and experiments
Can an essential oil be applied directly to the skin?
Some plants can be applied directly, but most essential oils must be diluted in a vegetable oil to avoid irritation and sensitivity.
What's the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils?
Essential oils are distilled from plants, while fragrance oils often contain synthetic aromas or non-therapeutic blends.
Why are Greek herbs considered more aromatic?
The dry climate, intense sunshine and volcanic soil concentrate the natural aromatic oils in Mediterranean plants.
How to choose a good quality essential oil?
Check for botanical origin, extraction method, purity and exact Latin name, all signs of serious production.
Are botanical experiences (tours, tastings) suitable for beginners?
Yes. They are designed to introduce the public to the use of local plants: identification, scents, properties, history and tasting.
