The story of Jovis Homemade Beauty
We made the first Jovis soap in 2010. And we haven't stopped since.
Here is our story
A life lived in harmony with nature
Beyond the commercial, marketing and advertising name, Jovis is a story about love for nature, passion, family and the desire for a healthier life and close to the principles of nature that has been taken a step further. The Jovis brand is based on and reflects all our ideas about a life lived in harmony with nature, appreciation and maintenance of tradition as well as the spirit of respect for the environment.
In the conditions in which daily stress and daily monotony oppress us all, we want to bring back the joy of small things, to turn a routine into a pleasure, and each bathroom to become a treat for the skin and senses, a loophole escape from the everyday in which you are at the forefront. We want to offer the opportunity of a few moments a day when his skin "inspires" and something else: butter and fine vegetable oils, medicinal and aromatic plants, essential oils, vegetable extracts and bee products, ie natural, simple, healthy ingredients. Because we believe that true beauty comes from within and is a good friend to health!
Ioana Matei - the founder and creative mind behind Jovis
“Before becoming a brand of Romanian natural cosmetics, Jovis was a blog dedicated to natural cosmetic recipes and aromatherapy, created out of passion for the healing power of plants. My blog. The decision to take things a step further and to set up the Jovis workshop came naturally, with the support and encouragement of readers, family and friends. Thus, with much enthusiasm, support and solid knowledge gained after graduating with a master's degree in 'Valorization of bioactive principles from native plants', Jovis has slowly grown into what is today a beautiful and cheerful family business, a brand of soaps and cosmetics 100 % natural products proudly produced in Romania! ”
Everyday elections, steps towards a sustainable future
A good product starts with quality ingredients, so much of our effort to design a new product focuses on finding the best ingredients for it. The choice of ingredients for Jovis products is a manifestation of the values we believe in.
We like to work with pure, 100% natural, unrefined ingredients where possible, often with organic certification, fresh ingredients of the highest quality. We like to use locally produced ingredients when we have the opportunity, to encourage small producers, to buy products that carry the fair-trade brand and our choices to be steps towards a sustainable future . We believe that we all, as buyers, have the power to influence the future through our choices, through the price we choose to pay for a product, our money thus coming to actively support the values we believe in. We need to be aware that we, the buyers, have a real power that we must use wisely.
Filofteia Matei - Ioana's mother, responsible for the production in the Jovis workshop
"I would never have thought that my daughter's courageous idea of starting a business in the field of cosmetics production would end up giving me so much satisfaction! But now, when every day we open the door of the production workshop and work with wonderful natural ingredients, when the whole working day is like an aromatherapy session, and at the end of the day the thanks and testimonials of the customers bring us the greatest satisfaction, now I realize that the joy really lies in the little things and that the whole process of creating Jovis products, from the idea to choosing the most suitable ingredients, to tests, improvements, laboratory tests and dermatological tests, is a constant source of joy and energy. . I hope we can send them to you too ! ”
