Only dermocompatible, similar to the sk<strong>in</strong>,<br />

vegetable and natural oils and waxes<br />

Eco-compatible vegetable emulsify<strong>in</strong>g<br />

agents which are gentle on the sk<strong>in</strong><br />

We use vegetable mother t<strong>in</strong>ctures, bud<br />

extracts, extracts of offic<strong>in</strong>al plants and<br />

fruits <strong>in</strong> oil, water, vegetable glycer<strong>in</strong>, or<br />

dry titrated extracts of herbs, vitam<strong>in</strong>s<br />

and other active <strong>in</strong>gre<strong>di</strong>ents, always of<br />

vegetable orig<strong>in</strong>. High concentration of<br />

active <strong>in</strong>gre<strong>di</strong>ents for greater effectiveness<br />

and reliability<br />

Only 100% natural essential oils so that<br />

our cosmetics are not only fragranced, but<br />

also have greater cosmetic properties due<br />

to the action of the essential oils<br />

Gentle preservatives, often adopted for<br />

alimentary use, food-grade neutral spirit,<br />

glyc<strong>in</strong>ates, natural antioxidants, essential<br />

oils<br />

As they conta<strong>in</strong> only natural and food-grade<br />

bio-color<strong>in</strong>gs, our creams may slightly <strong>di</strong>ffer<br />

<strong>in</strong> colour from one batch to the next because<br />

we use only natural substances, and<br />

therefore one of a k<strong>in</strong>d, such as blueberries<br />

that, depen<strong>di</strong>ng on when they are harvested,<br />

the climate and the exact place where they<br />

grew, give <strong>di</strong>fferent p<strong>in</strong>k-violet shades to<br />

the cosmetics, which become unique and<br />

unrepeatable<br />

Surface-active agents of vegetable<br />

orig<strong>in</strong> (from coconut, wheat, sugar),<br />

gentle on the sk<strong>in</strong>, with a high degree of<br />

biodegradability<br />

Only natur<strong>all</strong>y photoprotective vegetable<br />

and m<strong>in</strong>eral raw materials such as z<strong>in</strong>c<br />

oxide and titanium <strong>di</strong>oxide<br />

We prefer glass whenever possible;<br />

otherwise we use eco-compatible plastics,<br />

paper and cloth bags (reusable) for<br />

packag<strong>in</strong>g the products<br />

Those used by tra<strong>di</strong>tional cosmetics<br />

Low-cost m<strong>in</strong>eral oils and waxes (derived from<br />

oil) that cover the sk<strong>in</strong> with a film that tends to<br />

clog the pores and alter the natural processes<br />

of the sk<strong>in</strong> and perspiration.<br />

Synthetic emulsify<strong>in</strong>g agents, often conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />

PEG (derived from ethylene oxide) that are<br />

more aggressive on the sk<strong>in</strong>.<br />

Extracts <strong>in</strong> propylene glycol (a by-product of the<br />

potenti<strong>all</strong>y sensitiz<strong>in</strong>g oil), animal by-products,<br />

active <strong>in</strong>gre<strong>di</strong>ents of synthetic orig<strong>in</strong>, low<br />

concentrations of active <strong>in</strong>gre<strong>di</strong>ents to keep<br />

product production economical.<br />

Synthetic fragrances, often <strong>all</strong>ergenic, with no<br />

cosmetic properties.<br />

Aggressive preservatives, often formaldehyde<br />

releasers that generate <strong>all</strong>ergies and dermatitis<br />

with <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g frequency.<br />

Synthetic colorants can cause <strong>all</strong>ergies and<br />

sensitization of the sk<strong>in</strong>, verified with a test on<br />

the sk<strong>in</strong>.<br />

Aggressive surface-active agents that remove<br />

too much grease, like So<strong>di</strong>um lauryl sulfate and<br />

others which are parti<strong>all</strong>y derived from oil, often<br />

cause irritation and excessive dryness.<br />

Chemical sunscreens that are potenti<strong>all</strong>y<br />

sensitiz<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Often plastics that are not eco-compatible,<br />

which cause environmental pollution.
