Our Promise
At Kalovy, we pride ourselves on carefully curating high-quality products that are always clean, cruelty-free, and trusted by experts. Coined by founders Maria and Katerina, the name “Kalovy” (pronounced ka·lō·vī) is derived from two words: “Kalo,” meaning “beautiful” in ancient Greek, and “Vie,” meaning “life” in French. Together, they translate to “The Good Life.”
“The Good Life” is the founding principle of our brand and the inspiration behind everything we do. It embodies the pursuit of a balanced life, filled with purpose, where self-care has a space amidst life’s chaos. Every product we offer is a reflection of this belief, designed not only to enhance your well-being but also to empower you on your journey towards your own version of The Good Life.
