About

Melina Karakondylou is the founder of SAPOUNIZO NATURA, a licensed cosmetic laboratory based in Cyprus specializing in handcrafted botanical skincare products.

As a Professional Product Manager, Melina combines the wisdom of traditional herbal skincare with the safety and standards of modern cosmetic science. Inspired by four generations of women in her family who passed down their knowledge of herbs and natural remedies, she founded SAPOUNIZO NATURA to create products that respect both nature and people.

Every product is developed and manufactured in her licensed laboratory in accordance with European Cosmetic Regulation standards, combining carefully selected botanical ingredients with responsible formulation and quality control.

At EcoForward, Melina will share practical advice on how consumers can better understand cosmetic ingredients, make informed skincare choices, and appreciate the balance between natural ingredients, safety, and science.
