About us
OUR STORY
Naturalmente Mediterraneo was born in 2009 as stress relief from a difficult job. I began making soap and experimenting with natural, local ingredients for the skin as a hobby. Or maybe it began long before that with the natural-living values my mother passed on to me and my father’s deep love of nature which we shared on many canoe & camping trips in the provincial parks of Ontario, Canada.
In 2012, I made the decision to convert my passionate hobby into a job that I would enjoy each day and I set up the studio and shop in Vera, Almeria, Spain. The company´s core values were clear right from the beginning: enjoy what we do; use the best natural and organic ingredients we can source; support the local community and economy; respect the environment and provide the best, personal customer-service experience.
Our studio is a creative haven where we not only hand craft and hand package each product in our current line, but also continue to innovate and develop new products.
We sell at our studio shop in Vera, our on-line shop, at events and trade-fairs and to other shops who are passionate about selling our Brand. You can also experience our products first-hand, through therapists using them in natural, organic treatments.
We would love to meet you here at the shop or at one of our upcoming events! It’s all part of the enjoyment.

No palm oil, synthetics, parabens or toxins. As little plastic in the packaging as possible. We don’t use anything we don’t feel great about.

ARTISAN HANDCRAFTING
We make and package everything by hand in our artisan studio in Vera-Garrucha, Spain. Our soaps are made using the traditional method, mixing the ingredients – primarily local extra-virgin olive oil – until the mixture thickens and then pouring into wooden moulds, hand cutting & stamping and then curing. We also hand pour our creams, salves, scrubs, perfumes, serums, body oils and lip balms in small batches to ensure they are fresh.
