Chios Mastic
From the pharmacy mortar to modern cosmetology.
In the old family formulations, mastic was used in preparations for oral and skin care — a material deeply tied to Chios and the history of the island.
This line of research, from the pharmacy laboratory to commercial applications, later became part of the story behind Mastic Spa.
