Blue Zone

Blue Zone by My Greek Basket

Inspired by Longevity. Rooted in Greece. Crafted by Nature.

In a world overflowing with synthetic shortcuts and chemical overload, we’re turning back to the wisdom of places where people live the longest, healthiest lives—places known as Blue Zones.

There are only five such regions in the world, and one of them lies in Ikaria, a sun-drenched Greek island in the Aegean, part of the Dodecanese. On this quiet island, people live well into their 90s and beyond—not just surviving, but thriving. Their secret? A way of life that’s slow, clean, and rooted in nature. They rely on what the land gives them: time-tested recipes, pure ingredients, and a deep respect for tradition, community, and the body’s natural rhythm.

Our Blue Zone collection is born from that same philosophy.

Crafted with ingredients you can pronounce—and probably already have in your kitchen—our skincare, home care, and wellness products are as honest as they are effective. Olive oil. Laurel. Clay. Herbal extracts. Baking soda. Vinegar. Sea salt. Essential oils. That’s it. Nothing extra. Nothing synthetic. Nothing fake.

Whether it’s a gentle tooth powder, a natural laundry detergent, or a healing skin balm, each formula reflects generations of practical wisdom and the belief that less is more—when less is real.

You don’t have to move to Greece to embrace the Blue Zone lifestyle.
You can begin right at home—by choosing to fill your life with products that work in harmony with your body and the earth.

How Blue Zone Products Are Different

We don’t just follow the natural and organic trend—we live it. Every choice we make is deliberate, from the oils we select to the farms we source from. Here’s what sets us apart:

• We never skimp on ingredients.
  Take olive oil. Many brands claim to use “extra virgin organic” olive oil, but in reality, those are often the cheapest oils on the market—unlikely to be true organic or genuinely extra virgin. We use the very same ultra-premium extra virgin olive oils that we sell as grocery items—some of the finest in the world—sourced directly from Greece from the same trusted producer. These oils are rich in flavor, purity, and nutrients, making them equally exceptional in the kitchen and in skincare.

• We don’t believe in “one formula fits all.”
  Many companies making tallow skincare products add only olive oil to their recipes. While olive oil can be wonderful, it can feel heavy in certain applications, especially in facial care. We tailor every formula with targeted carrier oils chosen for specific skin needs. For example, rosehip seed oil outperforms olive oil in blends for mature, dry, dehydrated, or wrinkled skin.

• We source essential oils with uncompromising quality.
  Just like with olive oil, quality varies dramatically. Many companies use low-cost essential oils from one bulk supplier. We purchase ours from 3–4 exceptional companies who work directly with distilleries worldwide. One of these is Original Swiss Aromatics, a pioneer in the U.S. essential oil industry for over 40 years. Its founder, Kurt Schnaubelt, is a leading aromatherapist, bestselling author, and founder of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy.

• We choose essential oils for their therapeutic effects—not just their scent.
  Our blends are designed to amplify the skin benefits of each product. We use advanced aromatherapy knowledge to pair oils that work synergistically for the desired effect—whether it’s calming inflammation, nourishing dry skin, or supporting skin repair.

• We never use synthetic fragrances.
  Most fragrances on the market are lab-made mixtures that can contain hundreds of undisclosed chemicals—hidden under the single word “fragrance” on a label. Many of these compounds are known hormone disruptors, potential allergens, skin irritants, and contributors to headaches or respiratory issues. Because ingredient lists rarely reveal what’s actually inside a fragrance blend, we choose not to use them at all. Instead, every scent in our products comes from pure, high-quality essential oils chosen for both their aroma and their therapeutic benefits.

• We make our own tallow—from 100% grass-fed beef suet.
  We source suet from a regenerative farm in New Jersey and render it ourselves to ensure purity, freshness, and the highest nutrient content.
