What the Italian beauty culture has taught us about the Calendula healing properties


During the past Italian alchemist and herbalist were used to using calendula to heal scares. This flower indeed is able to accelerate the natural healing process of scars and stimulate skin tissue granulation when burns, abrasions and small plagues occur. Calendula optimizes also skin blood circulation by promoting an antibacterial activity.
Calendula possesses anti inflammatory properties which stimulate the immune protection and which can be explained thanks to the high carotenoidi content whose this flower is provided. Indeed, the essential oil found inside carotenoide has been demonstrated to have incredible antibacterial and antivirus properties.
The flavonoidi content found in the Calendula provides this flower with emollient,lenitiv and refreshing properties.Therefore ,we recommend Calendula for the irritation of babies private parts, because his healing capacity isolates the irritated part of the skin and adjusts the humidity degree.
Again Calendula is very helpful to prevent and cure reddened skin during the winter if it is utilized constantly at the beginning of the cold season and for all this period of the year.

What is an Italian "Erboristeria" and how essential oils are treated in the Italian monasteries?





In Italy, what we commonly call “Erboristeria”is a sort of herbal pharmacy where our pharmacists, historically named aromatists, work on, study and practice ancient healing formulations based on the use of the natural herbs, to provide people affected by particular health  problems with a customized cure.

Our pharmacists were strong believers of the efficacy of the herbal knowledge’ s monks, which the natural healing remedies they adopted and studied were based on. 





Nowadays,we are able to propose a contemporary interpretation of those herbal formulations,treatments and practices of the authentic Italian beauty culture,through  three steps of production.

1) MACERATION;
Parts of the fresh plant are placed in an airtight container and covered with almond oil or other base oils for 30 days

2) FILTERING AND SCREENING;
After this period the oil is filtered and transferred into another container and skips to the pressing plant mixed with oil that contains most of the functional substances in the plant itself. Two more days of resting, then a second screening and other purifying processes occur  before the oil, filtered and pure, is ready for distillation.

3)DISTILLED;
Essential oils are obtained by steam distillation. The pressurized steam is introduced into the lower part of the distiller and passes through the plant parts or oil to vaporize the volatile oils contained in them.  It is a method that applies to most of the aromatic plants and exploits the physical properties of essences, in particular their volatility.It is to separate the essential oil from the plant origin using a jet of water vapor, which invests plant tissues and "carries" the essence. From the process you get two final products: the distillate and the aromatic water. This is the water that comes from the condensation of the same steam, scented by a small fraction of essence dissolved in it.




For example,our production method has enabled us to develop our chamomile & hawthorne cleansing milk

Chamomile Cleansing Milk, 
Emollient, soothing and protective pH balanced cream cleanser, suitable for all skin types and ages including dry-sensitive especially with a tendency to redness and capillary fragility. Gently cleanses and removes make-up while hydrating, softening and calming irritation and redness, leaving the skin fresh, toned and clear, ready to receive further treatments. It also helps relieve the irritation of rosacea and acne conditions.

Chamomile soothes and calms various types of inflammations. It also reduces redness and protects the capillaries,reducing the appearance of new ones. It eliminates sign of fatigue of the face, diminishes fine lines and restores an even and luminous skin tone. Works as effectively as a pleasing eye make-up remover as a relaxing massage oil.

Nourish and tone your delicate skin with Italian organic cosmetic oils directly extracted from plants found in this incredible vegetation.



For centuries Italian alchemists and herbalists have used almond oil(the base of our essential oils line) to heal dry skin and to ameliorate the effects of aging. It is an age-old practice that perhaps hasn’t been improved on.

Organic Vegetable Oils nourish dry your skin. Hydrated skin is less subje ct to the aging process and more enduring than dry skin. What’s more, dry skin is delicate and so more likely to be affected by wrinkles, dilated capillaries and irregular pigmentation.

We are particularly aware of these conditions and have created products that nourish delicate skin. The most affective way to treat this condition is to apply pure oils, extracted from selected plants. Those oils have properties that both nourish and tone.



They possess moisturizing, softening and other healing properties.
We find the oils extracted from sweet almonds very effective and we recommend them for dry and even dehydrated skin.

They also work beautifully to minimize the appearance of stretch marks and to heal different skin conditions. We recommend applying them onto skin with a soft massage using a warm and humid sponge.

We also suggest using sweet almond oils on the stomach and upper body during the 3th month of pregnancy. They may also be applied to this inside of your arms during a diet regime, to prevent stretch marks appearance, which once visible, are very difficult to eliminate.

However, when stretch marks are still in their initial development stage—identifiable from their pink or red color— they can be still alleviated with regular application of sweet almond oils.

For centuries Italian alchemists and herbalists have used of almond oil to heal dry skin and to ameliorate the effects of aging. It is an age-old practice that perhaps hasn’t been improved on.
