Philosophy

In 1946, Georgios Malikoutis (1904-1970), the son of a remarkable Cretan family and a pioneering spirit, founded a soap factory named “Arkadi”. The name was given to honor the historic Monastery of Arkadi in Rethymno, but also the homonymous province, well-known for its olive production. Since then, Arkadi produces soap with the same original recipe: natural cleaning products, friendly to the environment, produced in Greece with pure raw materials without synthetics, additives, colors and fragrances, while his founder’s motto remains ARKADI guiding principle until today: “The olive crop is food, care, it is life itself. Try to imagine a world without olives”.

The journey of Arkadi continues, always focused on the philosophy of its founder for high-quality products and pure raw materials, while olive, green soap and ingredients from Greek nature are still in the core of all recipes!

Nowadays, as consumers choose products aiming at doing the right thing for their health and the environment, Arkadi is more modern than ever!

At Arkadi we believe that there is no need to compromise between what is good for our health & the environment and effective cleaning, and that’s why ARKADI has emerged as the leading Greek brand in natural homecare!
