OUR STORY, Petar & Tina
We come from a land where the sea and the sun have shaped every stone, every heart, and every story…
The Mediterranean is in our blood — its salt on our skin, its golden light in our memories, its rhythm in our souls…
We grew up in Croatia, in small coastal towns where time seemed to move with the waves. Summers were endless — days filled with the scent of lavender drifting through warm air, the shimmer of olive leaves under the sun, the hum of cicadas, and the taste of salt carried by the breeze…
We remember the smooth pebbles under our feet,
….the deep blue horizon, and the way the church bells called families to gather for Sunday mass, a tradition as old as the stones of the streets we walked. Warm summer evenings when the sea breeze carried laughter and music through those stone-paved streets… Evenings where everyone gathers — family, neighbors, friends — around long wooden tables to share food, wine, stories, and music, until the stars fill the sky.
Our grandmothers were the true alchemists.
In their kitchens, with hands weathered yet gentle, they transformed the gifts of the land into remedies and rituals. Olive oil pressed from the family grove, immortelle flowers picked under the summer sun, lavender and sage drying in bunches by the window — these were their treasures. With patience and love, they made ointments, infusions, and fragrant oils, always sharing them with neighbors, friends, and family.
Those lessons were more than just recipes.
They were lessons in love, patience, respect for nature, and pride in tradition. Every drop was a story, passed from generation to generation, from mother to daughter, from grandmother to granddaughter. A legacy from our ancestors. A sacred inheritance from those before us…
When life carried us far from home...
…across the ocean to Canada, the longing for the Mediterranean grew stronger. We missed the warmth of the sun, the glow of summer nights, the sound of waves breaking on the shore. Our skin, once nurtured by the soft coastal climate, grew sensitive in the harsh northern air. And so, we turned to what we knew best — the recipes of our grandmothers, the ingredients of our homeland, and the love that made them powerful.
This is how Mediterranean Witch was born.
The name comes from Tinas sisters, who always teased her for her love of creating potions from flowers and oils. “You’re like a witch,” they’d laugh — not the kind from fairy tales, but the kind who can turn the simplest gifts of nature into something magical for the skin.
Today, every jar and bottle we create...
…carries the soul of the Mediterranean. They are filled with the gold of olive oil, the eternal beauty of immortelle, the calm of lavender, the strength of sage, and the purity of the sea breeze.
Our mission is simple
To share the beauty, history, and love of the Mediterranean, wherever in the world you may be. Each product is a memory, a tradition, and a piece of home.
We are more than a skincare company.
We are keepers of our ancestors’ wisdom, guardians of beauty in its truest form, and storytellers of a place that will forever live in our hearts.
From our roots, to your skin
— with love, always. Petar & Tina
