Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, rose from the foam off the coast of Cyprus.
The brand Kypris called to me for this reason - named after the home of this goddess and for me evoking the purposeless days of my youth that strung one into the other, when I also rose out of the waters of Cyprus … but only to put Sun-In in my hair and read The Virgin Suicides by the Hilton pool. It’s pretty much a daily goal to get my skin and state of mind back there.
Kypris the brand is all about high-performance, holistic skin care made with organic, wild-crafted, and
sustainably grown ingredients for “an ecstatic experience of your unique
Beauty.” Their elixirs are 100% active formulas with intensely good vibes - a combination of oils like Indian Jasmine, Rose Geranium, Aged Patchouli, and Sweet Lavender and super-naturals like CoQ10 (free-radical killer), essential fatty acids, and Vitamin C that act to help heal skin and mood (through aromatherapy).
Also, the box is a poem of inspiration (“Sacrifice your pride on the alter of humility … Give what you wish to increase in your life …” - it goes on, brilliantly).
The oil is dark yellow, smells dreamy and sinks in quickly to quench like a dream. If you’re curious which elixir is right for you, take the fun quiz to point you in the right direction …
