Thousands of years ago, in the heart of Anatolia, humanity first discovered the power of agriculture. Thanks to its fertile soil, golden sunlight, and temperate climate, this region became the cradle of early farming. The legacy of these ancient people — known as the Anatolian Farmers — still lives on in the DNA of many Europeans today. It all began here, in what is now modern-day Turkey.
Anatolia, once called “Little Asia” by Alexander the Great, has always been a land of abundance — nourishing civilizations with rich harvests and powerful plants. This same land inspired timeless beauty rituals that have been passed down through generations.
In the 1870s, Western travelers to the Ottoman Empire wrote admiringly about the radiant skin of Turkish women in the bazaars. They attributed their glow to the Hamam (Turkish bath) tradition and the use of fragrant essential oils like rose, lavender, and frankincense — a reflection of the region’s deep connection to the healing power of nature.
It was during this period, around 1875, that Veli Bey, a master perfumer in the Ottoman court, crafted natural perfumes and beauty elixirs. His family, known as the “Misciler” (Musk Makers), preserved ancient formulas using the rarest natural ingredients.
Five generations later, his great-granddaughter Banu Gökyar resurrected that legacy — creating Shylo Natural Cosmetics to bring forgotten beauty rituals back to life.
True Beauty,
Banu believes, comes from healthy, radiant skin — not from synthetic, short-lived effects. And no woman wants to smell like everyone else.
That’s why every Shylo product is crafted using the finest essential oils — not only for their beauty benefits but also for their rich, lasting fragrance.
Each oil is sourced directly from the regions most famous for that plant’s cultivation, preserving authenticity, potency, and deep aromatic complexity.
For example:
• Isparta Rose – from the rose capital of Turkey
• Isparta Lavender – grown in high-altitude fields
• Milas Frankincense – wild-harvested in its native forests
• Aegean Extra Virgin Olive Oil – edible-grade, cold-pressed
• Oud, Jojoba, Almond & more – all selected for purity and regional excellence
These beauty oils are not only deeply nourishing, but highly fragrant, offering a sensory experience that lingers on the skin and in memory.
A Name That Carries Grace
“Shylo” means “Blessing of God.” It also honors Banu’s rescued dog, Shylo — a soul she considers a divine gift. That same spirit of grace flows into every bottle, made with compassion for people, animals, and the planet.
