Our story

Rooted in Tradition
Mont Trod is where nature’s wisdom meets scientific innovation. Founded by Dr. Helena Topouzi, a biochemist and skincare formulator, the brand is inspired by the rich biodiversity of Mountain Troodos and the traditions of Cyprus.
As a child, Dr. Topouzi watched her grandmother distill rosewater in copper pots, press golden olive oil, and steep wild herbs into healing infusions. These rituals weren’t trends—they were care, passed down through hands and time. This deep-rooted heritage, combined with her scientific expertise, led to the creation of Mont Trod: a skincare line that blends locally sourced Cypriot botanicals with cutting-edge bioactives to promote skin longevity and resilience.
Rooted in sustainability and backed by science, Mont Trod offers a minimalist yet powerful approach to skincare, helping skin adapt, restore, and thrive for years to come.

The heart
Mountain Troodos is more than inspiration—it’s the soul of Mont Trod. Our formulations begin in the wild heart of Mountain Troodos, where centuries-old flora meet modern science. By working hand in hand with small Cypriot farmers, we honor the earth and the communities that keep its traditions alive.

Our goal
Mont Trod is more than skincare—it’s a commitment to nature, science, and beauty that endures. Our goal is to create high-performance formulations that nourish and strengthen the skin while respecting the planet. Every ingredient we use is purposeful, blending the purity of Cypriot botanicals with cutting-edge bioactives to support skin resilience and longevity.
Rooted in the rich traditions of Cyprus, we honor our heritage by preserving its wisdom and sharing its natural treasures. Inspired by the phrase “To ladi to kalo”. An ancestral phrase, a whispered blessing. It means “the good oil”—a symbol of purity, nourishment, and longevity. It lives at the heart of everything we create.
