Lujos - About Us

We live in southern Spain on a 22 acre olive farm. We moved here 8 years ago from a life in IT in England, in order to find a better quality, healthier life.

And we've done just that. It is extremely hard work - we grow 5 types of olives here, and tend and pick them, just the 2 of us. We press the olives in a traditional press in the village, and sell our oil in Spain, the UK and the US.

Last year for the first time, we made our own soap from our olive oil. We were stunned at the difference - instead of just clean skin, we had clean, soft and moisturised skin! After some research, we realised this is because commercial soaps have all kinds of additives in them, and that the manufacturers strip out the 'good stuff' (glycerin) for use in other beauty products.

After that, we started experimenting with using olive oil in other products, such as lotions and creams for face, body and under the eye. We found that we much preferred the natural creams we made, that do not contain harmful preservatives or additives.

And then we found we wanted to share our experience. So we created Lujos in order to share our passion for natural, olive-oil based products. We believe olive oil lends its special qualities to make our soaps and creams the mildest, kindest, most moisturising products you will find, at reasonable cost.

You will note also that we do not colour our products, as we believe that 'natural is best'. We use as few preservatives as possible - hence we sell our products in smaller jars that are easy use up. That way, you can depend on your Lujos products always being fresh!

We use natural botanicals in many of our products - all grown on our own estate, such as lavender, calendula, chamomile, rosemary, and so on. We believe that by using ingredients that we grow ourselves, we are able to bring the best of Spain to you!

Enjoy!
