Many people ask me “Are there Avocado in Crete?” the answer is “of course!” We are the first and major producers in Crete. The cultivation of our Organic Avocado began 1984 with 500 trees, now days reach over 2500, and every year the number increases. In the early 90s due to lack of demand of avocado in Greek market, my father Stelios decided to develop the fruit with other different ways. So we were the first to begin the development of the fruit in oil, and later producing products based on that.  The idea of natural cosmetics arose from my mother (Johanna), which for many years suffered from psoriasis (a chronic, non-contagious disease that affects the skin ) The need for treatment and relief of her problem encouraged us to study more closely the beneficial properties that have avocado oil to the skin.  Thus was created the “Lappa Avocado” the summer of 1996, with just 3 products in the beginning, avocado oil, our natural soap and body lotion. With the passage of time, making slow, steady progress and always having as main focus on perfect quality, the number of our products increased. Today we have natural cosmetics in various forms, to suit every skin type.  Natural cosmetics “Lappa Avocado” address primarily at an audience with skin allergies and sensitivities, but also to all who want a perfect result hydration and nutrition from top to toe!
