An old centuries herbal formulation to treat rosacea and sensitive skin:Royal Jelly, Evening Primrose, Hops, Calendula, Chamomile and Wheat Germ Oil



A famous botanical garden around the "Accademia dei Lincei" in Rome.


Aromatherapy is the use of natural flowers and plants essential oil to enhance the health of body and mind. Essential oils are found in flowers, roots, leaves, bark, wood and resins.


The healing practice through the use of essential oils dates back in the history when Hypocrites claimed it as one of the most effective medicine of that time. The first reported case of essential oils based cure even occurred in ancient Egypt, where antiseptic natural properties of unguents were well known.


From Egypt and the Middle East, knowledge of the art of essential oils traveled to Greece, Rome and the Arab world. During the middle ages, alchemists were experts in essential oils extraction and healing formulas preparations.

During the 18th and 19th centuries essential oils continued to represent a major support for the healing system until they were replaced by synthetic drugs. In Europe aromatherapy has been recognized for many years as valuable therapy and it was indeed taught in medical schools.


One example of herbal formulations still in use in Italy is the combination of

Royal Jelly, Evening Primrose, Hops, Calendula, Chamomile and Wheat Germ Oil to treat dry, sensitive, mature skin as well as rosacea.

Royal Jelly

extremely rich in nutrients, vitamins and active principles
Evening Primrose

Hops
tonic, anti-aging, firming
Calendula
treats dry and flaky skin, sofeting, cicatrizant
Chamomile
soothing, protects capyllaries
Wheat Germ Oil

Key Benefits  of this old centuries herbal formulation are the following:

·         Royal Jelly is a bee product extremely rich in nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants
·         Regenerative and revitalizing
·         Stimulates the renewal of healthy skin cells helpful in reducing acne scars
·         Smoothes and diminishes age lines
·         Reduces redness, rosacea and irritations
·         Regular use will firm and smooth wrinkles while improving elasticity
·         Immediate effects: glow, hydration, tone and elasticity

On the basis of this simple but  only traditionally known concept,combined it with the most modern technology in cosmetics, we create our Royal jelly and evening primrose moisturizer.
Royal Jelly & Evening Primrose is nutritious, regenerative and soothing. 

This special moisturizer combines Royal Jelly, Evening Primrose, Hops, Calendula, Chamomile and Wheat Germ Oil to treat dry, sensitive, mature skin as well as rosacea. In the morning, it hydrates, revitalizes and stimulates, providing an immediate feeling of freshness and softness, while restoring a luminous tone and beautiful skin.

Erbe’s gentle and calming remedies relieve redness and irritation, and will improve the color while leaving a fresh and even appearance of the skin.

Erbe and the authentic Italian beauty culture.


 

FROM A DREAM OF QUALITY, HERBS AND ALCHEMY CAME A BUSINESS.

We don't simply have a business proposition; we have a philosophy of health and beauty.

If you know Erbe, you know everything about our company is real, and everything about our products is true. If you don’t know us yet, we’d like to introduce ourselves.

We stand for tradition and happily occupy a niche. We are not a big industrial, mass-production cosmetics company.

For almost 25 years we have measured our success by how different we are from the larger businesses that take the idea of beauty and corrupt it through mass marketing and aggressive cost cutting, and, ultimately, silly claims. The big companies do not know you, and, worse, do not care to know you. Rather, they employ the tactics of demographics, psychographics and analytics to reduce you to some abstract being, possessing certain needs and assets.

On the other hand, Erbe has always been hands-on, making simple promises in the form of a highly personal and, so, meaningful message to our faithful clients. The product has always been inspired by our relationships.

The majority of skin care lines include chemicals, which imitate the healing actions of the actual botanical extracts found in Erbe products. What we’ve found is that chemicals, however cheerily or“scientifically” expressed, achieve only superficial and temporary results. They offer illusions—the famous “hope in a bottle.”

Erbe approaches ingredients differently. Our products put you on the right healing track. They interact with your skin; they work deeply because they are intended to cure actual dermatological problems. Our idea of a regime is few products, each intended to provide real and lasting benefits.

Erbe has always been about the natural world and our relation to it. We come out of a real tradition: “The Authentic Italian Beauty Tradition.” We are the descendants of generations of men and women who understood the relationship between real beauty and true health and found in the Earth.

Erbe is committed to raising the awareness of a largely ignored past. We have reclaimed the wisdom of our Italian monks, whose healing practices anticipated by centuries what we think of as “modern” today. They are our past, and we are their future.

Toward that end, we reject the pathological pursuit of profit at the expense of the real. Our aims are as humble as our formulations; we want to help people enjoy lasting results from a few truly effective products rather than being caught up in a cycle of useless purchasing.

  ERBE PROFILE.

ERBE is a brand built on twin aspects of skin-care-beauty. Our products offer a contemporary reinterpretation of the formulations and practices of the Italian Beauty Culture.
A History of Hands-on Research. ERBE has embraced and modernized the Italian Beauty Culture. Our practices are informed by the accumulation of information that has been researched, tested, improved, and enhanced over hundreds of years.
Authenticity is at the heart of the brand. Tradition and authenticity inform every aspect of our work. Infact, our comprehensive line of products was originally available only custom-made in local pharmacies and herb shops in Italy.
ERBE's Formulae are as unique as they are original. Our philosophy and our products have their origin antiquity  in the work of 15th and 16th century Italian herbalists, physicians and herbalist monks from celebrated monasteries. The progenitors of our line were originally created as treatments and remedies for physical ailments. The knowledge these early chemists, alchemists and doctors acquired would be, in time, combined with modern science and women's traditional expertise in beauty.
ERBE is recognized as the only brand reflecting the values of the Authentic Italian Beauty Culture.
ERBE has grown by word of mouth. Its first fans were advocates of natural beauty solutions and later the lovers of sensuous products. The passion of our customers attracted the attention of Beauty Editors and their enthusiasm for ERBE fanned interest in the products
ERBE’s comprehensive knowledge is combined with an abiding respect for nature. We have a deep and comprehensive knowledge of the organic processes and plant transformation. Our products are the result of expertise and experience, not faith or trends.
We control every aspect of our resourcing and production. We do not simply acquire commodity materials, nor do we hand responsibility for their transformation to a manufacturer. We are deeply involved in every aspect of resourcing and packaging. We not only know which herbs are used, but often the region and even the fields where they were grown and harvested.
Our organic botanicals are of indisputable origin. ERBE products are effective, gentle, pleasant and safe to use. Every item is conceived and formulated to promote healing and enhance beauty, while creating an agreeable feeling of well being.
We have been sold in major department stores: Henry Bendel, Saks, Bergdorf, Barneys,Sephora and specialty stores in main US cities.


ERBE continues today researching and refining its line utilizing the most advanced cosmetic science in synergy with artisanal methods of manufacturing.
In our recent “laboratorio” in rural Tuscany, we create and sale the finest Italian artisanal beauty products along with perfumed accessories and precious home fragrance  collections, all carefully handmade by local women maintaining their heritage and excellence in manufacturing superior products that will improve our life style
