The Allure of Mastic: An Ancient Secret Reimagined

In the world of skincare, the Mediterranean always has more to reveal. One of its most fascinating treasures? Mastic oil—a rare resin from the Pistacia lentiscus tree, found only on the Greek island of Chios.

Known as the “tears of Chios,” mastic forms when the tree’s bark is gently scored, releasing droplets of sap that harden into translucent gems under the Aegean sun. For centuries, this resin has been cherished not just for its herbal aroma, but for its unique role in both wellness and beauty.

The Skin Benefits of Mastic Oil

Mastic oil is rich in natural compounds that make it a multi-functional ally for skin health. It has been valued for its ability to:

• Soothe and calm irritation → ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.

• Balance sebum production → helps both oily and dry complexions find equilibrium.

• Defend against stressors → natural antioxidants support skin exposed to pollution and sun.

• Support renewal → aids in improving elasticity and resilience over time.

In skincare, mastic oil doesn’t just protect—it feels transformative. It reinforces the skin’s natural barrier while leaving behind a clean, herbal scent that feels grounding and timeless.

Aeolis Skincare: Honoring Mediterranean Traditions

Aeolis captures this Mediterranean skincare tradition in their Mastic Hand Cream. Blending mastic oil with olive oil, aloe vera, and shea butter, it creates a velvety cream that replenishes and protects one of the most exposed—and often overlooked—areas of the body: the hands.

Every application becomes a small ritual: the subtle scent of mastic, the immediate comfort of hydration, and the quiet confidence of skin deeply cared for.

A Legacy in Every Drop

When you reach for mastic, you’re connecting with a beauty ritual shaped by Mediterranean heritage, sun, soil, and time. It’s more than moisture—it’s a reminder that the world still holds secrets worth discovering.
