Yia Yia’s remedy
Greek grandmothers (yia yias) have nourished sunburnt skin with Greek yoghurt for centuries. This inspired us to create the first after-sun skincare product made with edible Greek yoghurt. The Greek Yoghurt Calming + Cooling Gel made to soothe and moisturize dehydrated skin, quickly became an instant international hit.
