Place represented by the soap

Brianza (Lombardy)

Beekeeping in Brianza is a little-known little pearl.

Honey in particular has regenerating properties for damaged tissues, has energizing properties, strengthens the skin's defenses and protects against smog, atmospheric agents and sudden changes in temperature.

Even in the choice of the soap base, we tried to choose mainly fats available in local production or in any case of Italian production, avoiding the massive use of too exotic fats. At the same time, however, we wanted to obtain a complete soap with a consistent and soft foam and a warm and enveloping scent.

Linden oil has moisturizing, emollient and anti-inflammatory properties. Mountain pine, represented here by its essential oil, has balsamic properties.
