THERAPIA - Natural Therapeutic Skincare
Over the past few years there has been increasing concern over the levels of chemicals and petroleum derivatives in skincare products. As a Nutritional Therapist, Margaret Papoutsis realised that there was little point in encouraging her patients to eat pure food if, on a daily basis, they were drenching their bodies in hundreds of chemicals - 60% of which would be absorbed through the skin.
The Origins of Therapia |
Researching the available non-toxic skincare ranges, Margaret discovered that: - most widely advertised 'natural' products still contained a wide range of undesirable chemicals
- purer ranges were generally perceived by her patients to be less effective than their normal products
- presentation and packaging were unattractive and utilitarian
10 years of research and development have ensued since Margaret produced her first natural, fragrant and effective Skin Nutrition. In 2009 she finally unveiled Therapia - an entire range of exquisite non-toxic skincare.

The Therapia Philosophy |
- Our whole range is nutritionally based, and as such seeks to provide the essential nutrients that your skin needs to be genuinely healthy. Beauty is not just about the short term effects of applying cosmetics to your skin - it concerns the potential health of your skin in 10 years' time.
- Our products are based on:
- pure botanical oils and waxes, many of them organic
- natural moisturising factors
- essential oils
- vitamins and antioxidants
- cutting-edge anti-aging extracts
- This dedication to purity makes our range suitable for women who, for health reasons, need to pay special attention to the levels of potential toxins in their environment. Those undergoing chemotherapy or suffering from serious disorders can be assured that Therapia products are genuinely nutritional - you could eat them if you wished, though we wouldn't advise it!
- At times when the digestive absorption is reduced, it is good to know that around two thirds of the ingredients in our skincare will be absorbed into the body. What nicer way to increase your intake of Omega 3, 6, 7 and 9 essential fatty acids? This really is nutritional skincare!
- It is also important to realise that the important lower level of the skin (dermis) is not directly accessible to topical skincare. To be sure of good nutrition in this area, attention may need to be focused on diet and supplementation also. You will find general recommendations on the 'Beauty from Within' section of our website.
