We are pleased and proud to present to you the prod-ucts of our herbalist laboratory: with the same spirit

one of our country forefathers would have offered the finest fruits from his garden.

We have always had a good relationship with the earth: still today, in fact, our raw materials are freshly pressed veg-etable oils, flower waters and herbs distilled drop by drop, juices of plants extracted with craftsmanlike patience, essences received as a gift from generous Mother Nature. They arrive at L’Erbolario from the four corners of the world, they impregnate with their perfume ourselves, our workplaces and even the sur-rounding streets. We then pour them liberally into our bottles, boxes and jars for all those who, like us, believe in the infinite properties of simple things and know that, if natural beauty is a chance gift or, better still, an unknown genetic factor, to become beautiful thanks to a conscious use of nature is an art to be cultivated with care, patience, knowledge and trust.

Nowadays it is difficult to practise natural beauty treatments with face packs from recently chopped fruit or with preparations of herbs, picked personally. It should also be remembered that the sophisticated modern extraction techniques are excellent al-

lies and offer us increasingly effective and ultra-pure vegetable extracts: extensin, phytosomes, fruit acids. We therefore

believe that many of you can share our philosophy, which today considers an alliance between the pre-cious wisdom of the past and the undeniable discov-eries of the present as essential, one between classic

phytotherapy and modern cosmetic science. According to a family and local tradition, we

have always been enamoured of the infinite virtues of plants, aiming to research their unexplored potential,

although at the same time we do not reject the precious aids of science and modern technologies.

All our phyto cosmetics are the fruit of enthusiasm for herbalism, acted out in almost 30 years of production and, it has to be said, of success. They are often recommended, tested, criticised and improved by the customers of our herbalist shop in Lodi, which is older than the production laboratory. This direct contact is an invaluable aid for encouragement and dem-onstration.

Our Research & Development Laboratory, whose advanced skills in formulating cosmetics and rigorous research methods are officially recognised by the Ministry of Universities and Research (MURST), monitors the quality of L’Erbolario products, which are manufactured in compliance with the strict-est hygiene regulations and using high-technology, eco-friendly and energy-saving equipment.

In order to check their tolerability, they are subjected to careful clinical trials at one of Italy’s oldest and most prestigious universities, the University of Pavia.

Obviously, animals are never used in these tests.

MAKE-UP REMOVAL AND CLEANSING

Cucumber 002

& Witch Hazel Cleansing MilkAstringent and refreshing for combination and greasy skin

Extremely gent le and creamy, enriched with dis-tilled water of witch hazel (astringent) and extract of cucumber (refreshing). It respects the natural pH of the skin and cleanses it with infinite gentleness, tighten-ing open pores and perform-ing a gradual skin purifying action.

Soapless Bar 099

with Marigold & JojobaFor sensitive skin

Traditional soaps, with alka-line pH, tend to dry out the skin of the face, which will require a few hours to regain its equilibrium. This “non-soap”, however, respects the natural hydrated acid layer of the skin and neutralises the

aggressiveness of hard wa-ter, leaving your skin clean, smooth and velvety, and not dry or taut.

Soapless 275

Bar with BurdockFor combination and oily skin

A delicate “non-soap” which is also gentle on oily and blemished skin. Its as-tringent ingredients purify the skin without removing moisture, while the vitamin E nourishes it, restoring its natural elasticity.

Bois de Panama 014

ExfoliantFor thorough and deep cleansing, suitable for all skin types

Thanks to the mechanical action of the smoothing mi-cro granules and the delicate cleansing of the quillaia sa-ponaria, it gently removes all the impurities and dead cells which suffocate, dull and age the skin, refining the texture and leaving it soft and velvety.

Thorough cleansing of the face is not only an act of es-sential daily hygiene, accord-ing to the most elementary personal respect: toning in the morning, relaxing in the evening, it is also a good beauty treatment. It is the best way not only of remov-ing make-up, but also the waste and irritants which are deposited each day on our face; the best way of main-taining a glowing complex-ion and a youthful skin.

Camomile 001

Cleansing MilkMoisturising and softening for sensitive and dry skin

This extremely gentle and creamy cleansing milk was formulated for the most fragile skin and cleanses with the utmost delicacy, respect-ing the pH level. Refresh-ing and softening, thanks to the extract of camomile, while removing all traces of blusher, foundation and impurities, it restores, mois-tures softens and leaves your face velvety smooth.

Cornflower 223

& Rose Make-up RemoverAn extremely delicate milktonic with flower ex-tracts. Designed for the area around the eyes, it can be used as a practical and effec-tive make-up remover for the whole face.It removes make-up and im-purities with complete gen-tleness and at the same time provides beneficial elements for the skin, also capable of strengthening the lashes.Given its exceptional fluid-ity, you can also use it in a new way without water or tonic, simply removing it with a clean cotton wool pad.

It will leave the skin soft and supple.

Delicate 568

Make-up Removing Wet-wipesWith Orange Flowers and Rice

These make-up removing wet-wipes (which are suit-able for even the most sensi-tive skins and ophthalmo-logically tested) are practical to use for gently removing all traces of make-up and impurities from the face, eyes and lips.

Other products include the Make-up Remover with Ex-tensin and Asparagus Root Ex-tract in the Anti-ageing range, ‘Risposta’ Cleansing in the High Phytocosmetics range and the Face Cleanser in the Bio-ecocosmetics range, and Aloe Face Cleaning Fluid.(see pages 25, 30 and 44)

10

Effective but very gentle products for the delicate area of the eyelids and under the eyes, where facial expressions and poor sebaceous secretion may leave premature signs of ageing.

Delicate 003

Pollen & Honey Eye Make-up RemoverThis soft gel removes make-up in the twinkling of an eye, but with the utmost delicacy, leaving your eyelids fresh and velvety smooth. It removes all impurities from the area around the eyes and leaves the eyelids perfectly cleansed, fresh and smooth.

THE AROMATIC WATERS

Aromatic Honey 011

& Beeswax WaterMoisturising and refreshing for dehydrated skin

It is derived from the famous “Perfumed honey water of London” which, since 1620, has for centuries guaranteed the ladies of London a silky and smooth complexion.

Aromatic 012

Rosemary or “Queen of Hungary” WaterAstringent for combination and oily skin

It delicately tightens open pores and moisturises com-bination and oily skins.

Legend has it that Queen Isabella of Hungary, by then seventy years old, using the distilled water of rosemary, whose formula she had re-ceived as a gift from an al-chemist, refound her youth and beauty to such an extent that Charles Albert, grand-duke of Lithuania, asked for her hand in marriage.

Aromatic 007

Camomile WaterMoisturising for particularly dryand sensitive skin

Moisturises and refreshes the skin with all the gentleness and fragrance of the camo-mile flower, leaving it soft and velvety.

These exceptional tonics (enriched with an excellent skin moisturising factor), totally free of alcohol, tone and moisturise the skin, preparing it to receive all the benefits of the beauty creams. Ideal for eliminating the make-up removers.

Aromatic 015

Linden WaterMoisturising for sensitive and delicate skin

Performs a considerable moisturising and refresh-ing action, ideal for sensi-tive skin. By local external applications lasting at least ten minutes, it reduces the unsightly appearance of bags under the eyes.

Aromatic Myrtle 006

or “Angel” WaterMoisturising for delicate and reddened skin

It owes its name to the “an-gelic” cosmetic properties which ancient peoples right-fully attributed to it. Thanks to its extremely delicate for-mula, it refreshes and mois-turises delicate skin which has diffused reddening caused by external factors.

11

THE MASKS

Nourishing 020

Pollen & Honey Face PackToning and softening for sensitive and dry skin

Combines the stimulat-ing and restorative action of flower pollen with the toning and softening effect of honey. Right from the first application, it restores light and smoothness to the skin of the face and helps it towards a smoother, more luminous appearance.It can also be used in a thin layer without being re-moved, whenever an imme-diate impression of freshness is required, before an im-portant evening or occasion.

Clay & Propolis 021

Face PackPurifying, refreshing and astringent for combination and oily skin

Combines the cosmetic properties of propolis with the definitely astringent ac-tion of clay, enhanced by sulphurated amino acids. It removes flaking cells and impurities and restores equi-librium, with a delicate but effective action, to combina-tion and oily skin, reducing unsightly skin defects (black-heads and open pores).

Nourishing 190

& Softening Face PackWith Wheatgerm oil and Butcher’s Broom

Thanks to the inclusion among its ingredients of ex-tract of butcher’s broom, it softens skin with diffused reddening, visibly improv-ing its appearance and leav-ing it surprisingly velvety and smooth.

The most effective face treat-ments also include the Smooth-ing Face Pack with Delicate Fruit Acids and the Youth Face Pack in the Anti-ageing range.(see pages 20 and 27)

Extraordinary allies in the process of cleansing the face, face packs “draw out” impu-rities like blotting paper: they free the skin from all residues of cream and make-up, re-move the dead cells and leave a pleasant sensation of fresh-ness and of a “new skin”.Applying a face pack regu-larly once a week (better still twice) is essential for main-taining a glowing complex-ion and restoring a finer and smoother tone to the skin.

14

NOURISHING AND MOISTURISING

turising Cream will pro-vide the nutrients it needs to regain its brightness and splendour. With Olive Oil, Safflower Oil and Hydro-lysed Plant Protein Complex from Wheat, Soya, Oats and Maize.

Royal Jelly 018

Face CreamThanks to the precious sub-stances and the natural fibre it contains, the Royal Jelly Cream performs an out-standing protecting, toning and restorative action which helps you in preserving the youthful splendour of your skin and contributes, when used constantly, to prevent-ing the appearance of small wrinkles and lines.

Toning Cream 017

with Jojoba Oil & Shea ButterThis Toning Cream nour-ishes and restores moisture to skin tissues, refines their texture and firms the fea-tures. Day after day the skin, wellnourished and firmed, regains splendour and sup-pleness.

Always on the lookout for more specific and immediate results from modern cosmet-ics, today’s women often for-get that the skin’s most basic and essential need remains unchanged.What the skin needs to re-ceive promptly, every day, is sufficient nourishment and moisture, which not only make it brighter and more beautiful, but also help it face all types of climate, withstand the environmental stress to which it is subjected continually and remain sup-ple and retain its natural delicacy for longer.

Flower Pollen 019

Face CreamRich and creamy and in-stantly absorbed, the Flower Pollen Cream nourishes the skin and provides it with long-lasting moisture. With its skin protection action which lasts all day, it helps to prevent the for-mation of wrinkles, while it maintains the suppleness and youthful fine texture of the face, preserving its tone, freshness and splendour.

Calendula, 023

Carrot & Ginseng Face CreamReduces the appearance of wrinkles

An extraordinarily rich and equally softening O/W emulsion, it prevents the appearance of wrinkles and fades existing ones.It restores tone and elasticity to tired and lifeless skin and ensures it a more youthful and splendid appearance.

Re-densifying 956

prominent and those which are almost invisible, will be-come less perceptible.

Green Tea 145

Face Day CreamThis delicate cream helps protect the face against the aggressions of the day and the damage caused by the anxiety and stress of daily life, without leaving a trace, covering the skin with the unbeatable anti-oxidising power of green tea, the soothing property of camel-lia oil and the nourishing and softening properties of olive oil. It effectively assists the skin in the fight against the ageing process, helping it rediscover all its natural energy and vitality.

Green Tea 144

Face Night CreamThe skin relaxes during the night, in the absence of any expression and with

the natural rest which sleep provides, so this is the per-fect time to gain the maxi-mum benefit from the ac-tive substances contained in this cream, to eliminate the tiredness of the day and op-timise the natural regenera-tion process. The invaluable contribution of Camellia oil helps prevent the formation of new wrinkles and sag-ging and the skin obtains an unrivalled benefit from the protective powers of green tea extract, which neutralises the oxidising action of free radicals, the major culprits in the ageing process.

FOR DELICATE AND FRAGILE SKIN

Face Cream 290

with Ginkgo Biloba & Grape ExtractTreatment base for delicateand reddened skin

A specific treatment which gently combats the harm-ful action of external agents, sun rays and sudden changes in temperature. Thanks to its special formula and the optical effect of its green pigments, it is an excel-lent base, capable of toning down redness and covering skin defects.

Face Cream 024

for Delicate Skin with Camomile, Butcher’s Broom and LiquoriceUsed daily, it prevents ir-ritations and tones down reddening, helping the skin

of the face to resist environ-mental aggression better and screening it from UV rays.

Face Concentrated Fluid with Grape extract & Camomile 272

Evening treatment for delicate and reddened skin

A fast-acting fluid which prevents and combats skin reddening, to be applied every evening on the face in small quantities. It is the ideal treatment, with im-mediate effect, also at times when the skin is particularly sensitive, reddened, tired and feels the need for greater moisturising and protection against adverse environmen-tal factors.

A vital support for reddened skin is undoubtedly offered by the Nourishing and Softening Face Pack and Aloe refreshes and tones the skin. (see pages 12 and 44)

Delicate and fragile skins which flake easily often suffer from an unsightly blemish: redness.While it usually appears on the cheeks, it can also some-times spread to the sides of the nostrils or larger areas of the face.These skin types are sensi-tive to all external agents and face different perils throughout the year: the cold, smog and excessively dry air in offices and homes during the winter; the sun, wind, saltiness in the air and chlorine in swimming-pools in the summer; the continu-ally changing temperature and humidity levels during the spring and autumn.They therefore need safe, specific products which ensure optimum levels of protection and nourishment.

18

FOR YOUNG SKIN

an excellent base for make-up which, finally, “holds” throughout the day, without ever becoming shiny again.

Hawthorn Face Cream

289

Night treatment for oily and blemished skin

With the Hawthorn Cream the night restores beauty to asphyctic and blemished skin which has blackheads and spots. While the skin is rest-ing, this vegetable formula works hard to exploit its effective normalising sub-stances. Simultaneously it provides considerable nour-ishment and moisture, also invaluable for oily skin.

Indispensable for combination or greasy young skin is a specific purifying and astringent treat-ment like the Clay and Propolis Face Pack. (see page 12)

Unpleasantly shiny ap-pearance, open pores, black-heads and dullness are all skin blemishes found most frequently on young and very young skin, although this does not make them any less troublesome, and they are light years away from the ideal of fresh and bright skin with a smooth and silky feel.L’Erbolario has therefore cre-ated a range of products offer-ing the gentleness needed to treat skin which, although it appears robust and strong, is actually delicate and easily irritated.What this skin needs most of all is help in maintaining its freshness and tone over time.

Peach & Orange 288

Blossom Face CreamFor young skinmoisturising and toning

The Peach and Orange Blos-som Cream has been de-signed to maintain and pro-tect naturally all the freshness of young skin. Thanks to the high concentration of veg-etable extracts, this formula effectively moisturises and nourishes the skin, which immediately feels toned, protected and much softer.

Lemon 271

& Cucumber Cream for Oily & Blemished SkinWith a light covering effect

Thanks to the light covering effect of this cream, which you will be able to accentu-ate in the critical areas by ap-plying it without completely blending, the unsightly skin defects of blackheads and spots are visibly faded, while their formation is, in time, gradually prevented. And oily skin will once again find equilibrium and an unusu-ally even texture.

Burdock 022

& Rosemary Face Cream for Blemished Skin Designed for oily, asphyc-tic skin with blackheads and spots, the Burdock Cream performs a triple action: it tightens open pores, pro-tects oily skin from adverse environmental factors and helps it to gradually find its natural balance again. With a mat effect, it helps to hide skin impurities and forms

RENEWAL

ise the excess production of flaky cells which weakens the lipidic layer; greasy skin, suffocated by the excessive amount of sebum on its sur-face, starts breathing again when it is stimulated by this cream and becomes brighter; tired or wrinkled skin recov-ers strength and compactness and experiences smoothing of the wrinkles which are caused by the natural slow-down in cell exchange caused by age, stress or other envi-ronmental factors.

Face Cream 262

with Delicate Fruit AcidsWith Bilberry, Maple, Orange, Lemon and Sugar Cane

This cream has a positive effect on the equilibrium between elimination of old surface cells and the pro-duction of new skin cells, thanks to the extraordinary properties of alpha hydroxy acids from carries ant a very precious service for the skin of the face.

Smoothing Face Pack with Delicate Fruit Acids 314

With Bilberry, Maple, Orange, Lemon and Sugar Cane

An exceptionally rich and effective face pack, capable of nourishing, moisturising and smoothing any type of skin to reveal its new lumi-nosity and freshness. Thanks to the ability of the alpha hydroxy acids to create the right cell renewal balance, tired and lifeless skin, bear-ing the marks of time, will appear revived, while oily skin will be aided in remov-ing skin impurities.

Extraordinarily powerful, Alpha Hydroxy Acids may have a complicated name, but their origin is very sim-ple. Unknowingly, but effec-tively, the beauties of ancient times were already using these powers when they bathed in milk, as were the ladies at the Court of Louis XIV, who spread aged wine on their necks and cleavage, and our grandmothers, who faithfully used face masks formed of fragrant slices of peach and apple or slices of lemon.These delicate acids have an extraordinary ability to smooth the skin, attenuat-ing wrinkles, lightening dark marks and simultaneously strengthening the layer be-neath. In balanced doses, carefully combined and sup-ported by nourishing and moisturising complexes, they create genuinely innovative and extraordinary products.Due to their smoothing and restorative properties, the products in the Deli-cate Fruit Acids range are suitable for all skin types: dry skin benefits from their action, because they normal-

THE ANTI-AGEING FACE PRODUCTS

NOW THERE IS SOMETHING NEW

The second half of this century, and in particular the past decade, has witnessed great scientific in-terest in all problems linked to ageing.The enormous progress achieved by medicine in some fields has led to a huge increase in the average lifespan, at least in the West. Scientific experiments now nearing completion have provided definite results which, for many of us, should be trans-lated into rules for living: reduce intoxication (smoking, drinking etc.), avoid psychosomatic stress, prevent illness, protect against free radicals, keep cholesterol un-der control, etc.Therefore, even if human ageing is a phenomenon which has not yet received universally accepted theoretical explanations (is it innate or acquired, for example, or programmed by our genes, or only due to chemico-physical deterioration which can be kept under control?), the progress of science allows us to dream, at least, of eternal youth.

It is no longer merely a question of reaching the age of 110-120 for which our biological clock appears to be programmed, but instead to live the second part of our existence to the full, youthful yet elderly, without the shortcomings, weaknesses and ugliness which are features of old age.However, while we await the decisive weapon or weapons for stopping time, we can already delay external ageing as long as possible. This statement, valid on a gen-eral basis, applies especially as regards our skin.

SCIENCE APPLIED TO COSMETICS

Actual discoveries (collagen, elastin, liposomes) from increas-ingly close research into cells have allowed truly revolutionary cosmetic preparations to be pro-duced, capable of slowing down as far as possible the ageing mechanisms of the skin.The techniques of extracting the active ingredients of vegetable origin have also been consider-

SKIN AGES VERY EARLY

The splendour, turgidness and smoothness of the skin, which reach their peak around the age of 20, are unfortunately short-lived. Then, inevitably and inexorably, from around 25 onwards, the skin ages: its me-tabolism starts to slow down, the secretions of the sebaceous glands are reduced, collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid are produced in smaller quantities, the cohesion of the cells loosens..... This is the start of the process which causes the skin to become grey and opaque, to lose its suppleness, to wrinkle, become rougher, with lines on the surface and then in-creasingly deeper. We know that health problems and aggression from the environment (sun, light and pollution in particular) can accelerate these phenomena. We also know that attempts have always been made to fight them, to protect, i.e. moisturise and nourish the skin, by applying various substances, of which those of vegetable origin have always been predominant.

The passing months, seasons and years inevitably leave a mark on our soul and, alas, on our face. These marks, however, can be slight traces or deep furrows. Nothing should be taken for granted! You can always combat skin ageing phenomena, avoid the worst and even repair a few disasters which have already occurred. In order to help you do all that is possible, L’Erbolario has developed a specific line, we might even say revolutionary, in which the benefits of the present and the precious wisdom of tradition are combined synergically.

25

ably refined. Nothing can replace the extremely slow distillation of nature, but nowadays it is tech-nological progress which offers us the means of grasping its closest secrets and using its vital sap in the best possible way!

OUR ANTI-AGEING FORMULA

Thus we at L’Erbolario felt obliged to exploit the new knowledge to the full and there-fore formulated a line specifi-cally indicated for fighting the phenomena of skin ageing. We have included active vegetable ingredients with proven efficacy, obtained in an extremely pure state by original extraction proc-esses, rendered biomimetic (i.e. similar to the structures of the skin) and conveyed in depth by the phytosomes (vegetable liposomes).They are combined with classic vitamin complexes and diluted in noble excipients.The result of this exclusive for-mulation is 5 products (6 with the Suntan Cream for the Face) with an extremely fine consist-ency, comfortable and easy to use. Your skin will find in them nourishment suitable for reform-ing the hydrolipid surface film, for supplementing the scarcity of collagen and elastin and for defending itself against external aggression.

WHEN ARE THESE PRODUCTS USED?

In the fight against damage caused by ageing, the principle upheld by dermatologists and

cosmetologists is the one con-firmed with increasing frequency by the whole of modern science: prevention is better than cure.This leads us to say that the an-ti-ageing range is not necessarily reserved for women “of a certain age”! These are definitely ideal products for skin which already shows, visible to a greater or lesser extent, the signs of ageing mentioned previously.In this case the best results will be obtained by intensifying to a maximum the applications and prolonging them for a con-siderable length of time, even throughout the year if necessary.Since, however, the ageing mechanism starts fairly early, it is to be hoped that, around her thirtieth birthday, each woman acquires the habit of using anti-ageing products alternately with the usual ones.For effective prevention, we usu-ally recommend at least 2 annu-al cycles, in spring and autumn.

Make-up 005

Remover with Extensin and Asparagus Root Extract An extremely rich emulsion which removes make-up with equal gentleness and efficacy from the various parts of the face, respecting even the most delicate and vulnerable parts, such as the eye area and lips, which it even helps to protect.The high concentrations of two particularly effec-

tive and precious natural elements (extensin and as-paragus root extract), com-bined with the ingredients of maximum purity, allow, right from the basic act of cleansing, the battle to com-mence against agents whichare irritating and damagingfor the structure and youth-fulness of the skin.

Nourishing 009

Face CreamWith Avocado Oil, Vitamin E,Farnesol and Pantothenic acid

This non-oily and extremely fine preparation, pleasant to apply, is a real “skin food”.It contains a high percent-age, among the other ac-tive ingredients, of avocado oil, farnesol and pantothenic acid. The former is one of the most effective skinprotectors and softeners which, thanks to the affinity with natural lipids, softens the skin, performing the extremely useful action ofprotecting it and of retain-ing water. Farnesol, on the other hand, is a substance with high biological poten-tial, extracted from the es-sential oils of rose, acacia, lily-of-the-valley, lilac and also from oak moss and san-dalwood. Combined with pantothenic acid, it forms a complex of which research has recognised extraordinary properties:

1) it helps to maintain tissue

26

the irritant and toxic factors to be found not only in the air in cities. Then during the day we live life to the full and all the frowns, exagger-ated expressions, smiles and doubts of facial movements turn into wrinkles.Therefore a day cream has to ensure protection which could be antitheti-cal: maximum protection, optimum concentration of active ingredients and atthe same time easy use and immediate absorption, as well as benefits prolonged throughout the day.The anti-age cream bril-liantly fulfils all these re-quirements.It is rapidly absorbed by the skin, leaves a pleasant sensation of well-being and renewed lightness, and en-courages the duration of any make-up.Its formula is a real cocktail of factors which avant-garde cosmetic science considers definitely effective in the fight against age, chosen ac-cording to the knowledge of phytotherapy. In order to soften the skin and make it capable of withstanding sen-sitising and allergising fac-tors, the flavonoids of lady’s thistle are combined with

phytosomes which transport them into the skin and pro-long their efficacy.In order to fight free radi-cals, which prey on the cells of the skin, and which are formed above all due to the action of the rays of the sun, high doses of vitamin E have been added.In order to tone the skin and retain turgidness and purity of the features, the extensin; similar to the animal type which forms the essential structure of the dermis, is used.Extensin, jojoba oil and vi-tamin B5 provide moisturis-ing elements and help the natural ability of the skin to retain water.A supreme nourishment function is performed by the asparagus root extract, an active ingredient obtained from meristema, a specific “germinative tissue” found at the ends of roots, shoots and buds, in which the key to the amazing ability of plants to regenerate and grow throughout their lives, how-ever long, unlike in the ani-mal world, has been found.Which woman has never envied trees and shrubs the ability to bloom each spring and the advantage of seeing their beauty grow, rather than wither, year after year? Now the secret stolen from vegetables can, if not change nature, at least help our skin to remain more youthful and luminous.

in its ideal natural condi-tion.

2) it has a softening and ton-ing effect.

3) it considerably improves the mechanical properties of the skin (elasticity and plasticity), as it increases the state of tightness of the tissues, thus fading lines and reducing rough skin.

4) it normalises the lipid layer which protects the skin.

5) it improves the capacity toretain water.

This is exactly what a skin which is no longer quite so young, or which is under-going periods of particular fatigue, requires during the night.The already rich ingre-dients of the cream have been joined by vitamin E, also known as the vitamin of youth, which has an anti-ox-idising action par excellence, i.e. it fights free radicals.

With Extensin, Asparagus root Extract and Phytosomes of the Flavonoids of Lady’s Thistle

Multi-active 010

Face SerumFast-acting firming fluid

A concentrated serum with immediate and accumulativeaction.It ensures optimum exploi-tation of powerful function-al elements of a vegetable origin which, immediately supplied to the skin thanks to the phospholipid lipo-somes, act on the texture, complexion and resistance of the skin: the firming ef-fect, noticed immediately after application, reveals a real cosmetic face-lift which refines the shape and dis-tends the features.This is therefore the ideal product, which can be ap-plied before any other treat-ment, even around the eyes, for a special make-up or for special occasions.It then gradually nourishes the skin, fades and helps to prevent wrinkles.

Suitable for all types of skin, this anti-ageing serum has many purposes: 1) due to its immediate firm-

ing effect on the features of the face, it represents an ideal “first aid for beauty” at particularly critical times: a few appli-cations provide smooth-ness, splendour and tone for the skin and ensure long-lasting and dazzling make-up effects.

2) during long cycles (20 days) repeated during the year, it is a highly effec-tive anti-ageing preven-tion.

3) used continuously it re-stores and helps particu-larly tired and stressed skin, preserving elasticity and redistending the fea-tures.

“RISPOSTA”

HIGH PHYTOCOSMETICS RANGE

A continually changing world demands more and more from the modern woman. She has to be active, dynamic, tireless and juggle her time successfully between work and family. She must be flexible, efficient and productive, but also know how to retain her femininity and look good.So women are asking for more, too. Although they know you cannot turn back the clock, they want help in keeping their skin fresh and attenuating the most obvious signs of tiredness, as well as in protecting it against an environment which is not always kind to it.Phytocosmetics, or rather High Phytocosmetics, has provided the Responses.

RESEARCH WILL HAVE TO CHANGE TOO

This is a major challenge for phytocosmetic research, where, although there has always been an unwavering desire to keep pace, closer attention must now be focused on its own logical aspects and solutions. Laborato-ries are now working to identify new raw materials, combining their properties, with the aid of the most advanced cosmetic science and the purpose of creat-ing highly innovative formulas. These are new in both their content and their form, meaning in how pleasant they are to use. And, most importantly, they are the harbingers of a new era in terms of their benefits and effectiveness. This dream has now become a reality: when the skin calls, L’Erbolario research has the right Responses.

CHANGING THE RESPONSE

In this situation, the level of responsibility of L’Erbolario re-search has naturally increased and this has led to an increase in the quality of the Response. Advanced Phytocosmetics from L’Erbolario derives from the most advanced vegetable-based cosmetics and offers the best re-sponse to all the needs of modern skin. Its benefits lie principally in the ability to concentrate all the effectiveness of its ingredients, formulas and characteristics on obtaining the best results in terms of beauty and protection against wrinkles. The perfect Response to all the skin’s needs, in seven specific treatments: “Risposta” Day, “Risposta” Night, “Ris-posta” Perfection (lifting ef-fect), “Risposta” Details (area around eyes and lips), “Ris-posta” Phytofiller Face Firming Cream, “Risposta” Phytofiller Serum Face Firming Cream and “Risposta” Cleansing.

NEW NEEDS AND DESIRES

Closer attention and consid-eration of the risks of premature ageing of the skin are directly proportional to an increase in the needs and desires of the skin. Basically, a more con-centrated and focused effort is needed to maintain the skin’s natural balance and to protect its natural beauty against ex-cess production of free radicals, which are the cause of oxidative stress, i.e. the alterations in col-lagen and elastin which cause skin ageing. This naturally leads to the desire to change, to discover and use beauty and face care treatments which offer a visible and verifiable effect. In other words: more results, which, for the skin, means more moisturising, more protection and more nourishment. This therefore means more science, more technology and more ex-perience.

“Risposta” 565

CleansingLiquid cleanser for the skin of the facewith a toning, softening and refreshing action.

An essential response to an essential need. Thorough cleansing is certainly the first step towards beautiful skin: well-cleansed skin, refreshed and with all traces of make-up and smog removed, not only appears both younger and fresher, but also capable of benefiting in full from the treatments used on it. “Risposta” Cleansing, an extremely gentle and deli-cate non-foaming gel, is a new form of make-up re-mover and the first step on the path towards a younger and better-looking skin starts with make-up removal.

TINTED CREAMS & FOUNDATION

Tinted Face CreamThe Luminous Cream is both a complete moisturis-ing and protective day cream and a make-up product.In summer or winter, in the city and in the open air, it

For the Beautyof your Body

The beauty and harmony of the body manifest themselves in a thousand ways and depend

on many factors (food, sleep, exercise, even hap-piness…) which we should all seek to gauge with intelligence. Our products alone do not intend to promise you miracles, but they can help you effec-tively in the attention you pay to your beauty prob-lems. Once again the efficacy depends on regularity: a small amount of time spent every day is never wasted. Also because respect for others starts with respect for ourselves. If you are happy with yourself, others will also feel equally better.

THE “SUPERATTIVE” PRODUCTS

Superactive effectiveness to fight skin sagging. With three highly specific products, the strength of which lies in the surprising properties of the vegetable active substanc-es, such as Kigelia Africana (a majestic tree, whose fruits the women of the Lebous tribe of Capo Verde use to prepare a poultice to massage on the chests of young girls to assist their development) or the Green Tea Polyphenols, with their powerful astrin-gent and protective action against excess production of free radicals.

Argania Spinosa grows in only one place in the world: the region of ochre and spices of southwest Morocco. Here, on the vast edges of the desert and in a dry and inhospita-ble climate, twenty million courageous trees form an im-mense forest, the Arganeraie, rightly considered to be one of the last strongholds of the fertility which resists the in-sidious onslaught of the Sa-hara. In these eight hundred thousand hectares of tiny leaves, branches visited by the agile hooves of goats and kid goats and roots plunging deep into the arid and stony soil, the ecosystem of Atlan-tic Africa has identified the last, possible barrier against the progressive and continual desertification of the territory.

THE RITUAL OF PERFUME

Perfumes are sensitive, delicate and precious. They love calm, steady movements and gentle-ness.Learn to handle them with care. From the time the bottle is opened, the perfume begins to change slowly; you can keep it for around one year, with a few precautionary meas-ures. Remember to close the bottle tightly each time you use the perfume, and keep it away from sources of heat and light. The simplest way of keeping its fragrance unaltered for a long time is that of us-ing a no-gas spray, which protects it from external aggression.

Finally there are the “base notes”, with an intense fragrance, which support the heart notes: patchouli, labdanum oil, oak moss, benzoin and incense.

Learn how to enhance their intensity throughout the day: a drop on the neck, in the hollows of the elbow and knee, between the breasts and behind the ears, naturally. A sophis-ticated touch: perfume the collar and cuffs of your clothes. On evaporating the perfume will create a harmonious wake of fra-grances.

Discover their numer-ous nuances. The initial scents, those which are immediately apparent as soon as you open the bottle, represent the “top notes”: candid, volatile and short-lived. They are almost always citrus (lem-on, bergamot, mandarin) or from labiates (sage, rosemary, hyssop, mint).

Then there are the domi-nant or “heart” notes. They appear a few min-utes after dispersion of the head notes and define the personality of your perfume. They are often scents of rose and honey-suckle, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley.

With a natural pH level, clinically tested to ascertain their tolerability, our deo-dorants act directly on body odour, without interfering with the important natural process of transpiration. Fine-ly and discretely scented, the classic Sage Deodorant Lotion and Sage Deodorant Cream have a fresh and clean note, while the delicate per-fumed lotions are inserted in ones of our most beloved lines and base their effectiveness on the prodigious Alpha Hy-droxy Acids, or still better on the enzymatic “switches” ex-tracted from them, that know how to avoid the forming of unpleasant smells. And to really forget the problem, a revolutionary deodorant with the Mint.

Do not despair if your hair rebels against every-day stress and the thousand minor torments

which you subject it to in the name of fashion. Does it show its disapproval with split ends, loss of shine and volume, or is it excessively greasy or dry, always tired and lifeless and dull in colour? It is worth re-sponding with kindness and patience, nourishing it, caressing it and providing the care it deserves. The products which L’Erbolario recommends for you have been created so that your hair can represent for you what healthy and shiny branches are for a fine tree.

SHAMPOOS

hair, which is increasingly fragile, but instead concen-trate on the scalp. Always try to rinse with nearly cold water in order to close the scales of the hair and make it shine.• Wash your hair often, even every day if neces-sary, with small amounts of specific shampoos. Pay no attention to the banal com-monplace “the more you wash hair the more you ruin it”: nothing could be further from the truth, and in fact the opposite is true.• While hair is wet, it can only be combed if protected beforehand with a good con-ditioner. In any case, use a wide-toothed comb and a great deal of gentleness, as hair is more easily damaged when wet.• If you go to the swim-ming-pool, rinse hair im-mediately after swimming with a shampoo for frequent washes, in order to neutral-ise the harmful effects of chlorine.

L’Erbolario shampoos are the result of ongoing research, thorough tests and constant updating, ac-cording to the most recent acquisitions in the field of phytocosmetics.Guaranteed to be totally free of alkaline soaps, they always have a natural pH level.Obviously, like all the oth-er cosmetics, the shampoos too, in order to ascertain their tolerability, were sub-jected to strict clinical trials at the University of Pavia, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe.In order to prolong the r e su l t s guaranteed by L’Erbolario, follow these basic tips:• choose the most suitable shampoo for your hair type and learn to use it correctly. It is unnecessary to use too much, instead learn to “work” it for a long time with your fingertips, adding plenty of water. Also avoid putting it directly on the

sar Oil on dry hair, mas-sage carefully before sham-pooing. The Macassar Oil is then always rinsed out with the greatest ease. Ap-plied before sunbathing and swimming in the sea, it is ideal for protecting the hair on the beach.

Macassar Oil 044

VolumisingHair PackA beauty pack to complete the care of fine and weak-ened hair which lacks vol-ume and which requires more nourishment and help than other hair types.Practical and pleasant to use, it exploits the beneficial properties of our now fa-mous Macassar Oil and the wheatgerm proteins.

Fluid Restructurant 037

A special fluid (non-oil oil) for a restructuring and pro-tective treatment for limp, dry hair which is brittle or forms split ends.Thanks to the combined action of the panthenol, wheatgerm proteins and millet extract, sustained by the addition of an effec-

tive sunscreen, it performs a triple function on hair: it protects it from physi-cal, chemical and envi-ronmental elements which continuously attack it, re-pairs each individual shaft, recom-pacting the external scales and the split ends, and instantly enhances hair, increasing its shine, vigour, volume and making it easy to comb.

Hair Lotion 039

Cleanses and increases volumefor hair

Since hair follows natural cycles, it is absolutely nor-mal for several dozen hairs to fall out each day, as they

are soon replaced. However, aggressive treatments, envi-ronmental factors, dandruff and seborrhoea may upset, even to a serious extent, these rhythms and jeopard-ise hair appearance; thus an auxiliary treatment may have to be used. Strictly alcohol-free, the Nettle Lotion helps your hair to a newer vigour, volume and gloss and con-tributes to fixing a style.In daily and extended mas-sage of the scalp, its cleans-ing and cosmetic action, which exploits the proper-ties of the nettle extract and aromatic rosemary water, is a useful aid in preventing hair loss.

The supporting and condi-tioning effect of Nettles make these products precious allies for tired and weakened hair, also giving them the added ability of helping prevent hair loss.

“RISTRUTTURA”

Restructuring 954

Shampoo for Treated HairWith Cotton Oligosaccharides and Linden Bud Extract

Forced to suffer often stress-ful colour changes, treat-ed hair is frequently more fragile and sensitive. Dying, perming and bleaching have a direct affect on porosity of the hair and place it at greater risk of damage. Spe-cially formulated to fight the damaging effects of chemi-cal agents, the pleasant gel of this shampoo is full of highly effective active sub-stances, capable of ensur-ing deep moisturising and nourishment and plenty of protection.

Restructuring 953

Cream for Weak and Fragile HairWith Flax Oil and Extract

A good after-shampoo treat-ment, which is highly rec-ommended for all hair types, becomes essential in the case of weak, fragile, dyed or bleached hair.Highly nourishing and re-storative, this cream can be used in place of conditioner and offers the perfect end to the restructuring program started with the specific shampoos. The four, highly effective active substances penetrate inside the cuti-cles and “restore” the hair in the most damaged areas, strengthening the stem. The hair receives the nourish-ment and moisture it needs and the risk of split ends is attenuated, leaving hair which is glossy and beau-tiful, but also healthy and strong.

Hair requires special care and attention to be beau-tiful. Placed under stress every single day by demand-ing lifestyles, environmen-tal factors and poor diet, it needs the support of quali-fied “specialists”, like the treatments in the innovative Restructure range of products of l’Erbolario.

Restructuring 955

ShampooWith Maize Proteins and Green Tea Extract

A revitalising shampoo with a highly gentle cleansing action, designed for even daily use on dull, lifeless and dehydrated hair, to restore its health and vitality and leave it strong, glossy and splendid.Its cleansing base gently assists elimination of the substances left by pollution, while the numerous active substances contained in the noble oils reach the stem of the hair and nourish and moisturise it, leaving hair softer, shinier and more supple.

THE HAIR COLOURS

Also as regards hair colour, we at L’Erbolario prefer natural effects. We like the shades of henna, the golden tints of camomile packs or the deep brown of tea leaves, and we reject the so-called “dyes” which are recognisable as artificial from afar. We know how important it is, for women who are increasingly rushed and weighed down with a thousand commitments, to be able to enliven their mood by enhancing a shade which suddenly seems slightly dull, or delicately conceal white hair. All this simply, fast and naturally. We have therefore worked for a long time to obtain a product which, together with being truly effective, is also the most gentle, the safest and the least aggressive possible, and which exploits naturally-derived substances to the full. Having rejected ammonia and oxidating agents, we expected the best from extracts of camomile, henna, chestnut and myrtle, highly select and contained in high percentages, and we have enhanced them (to obtain the various shades and achieve optimum cover) with organic colour products. The formula is completed by the protective action of nourishing and restorative substances.

This led toTHE COLOURS OF

L’ERBOLARIO7 gels produced for a gentleaction, easy to use, delicately perfumed, which above all re-spect the health of your hair, maintaining its shine.

• Given the total absence of peroxide, it can also act as a harmless rinse even on dyed hair (on bleached, strongly lightened hair, it may change the base colours).• It almost totally conceals grey hair. Naturally the amount of gel has to be increased where it is most common. The pack-aged product, ready for use, is sufficient for two applications on hair of medium length. It is easy to use: leave it to take effect for around thirty minutes on dry hair and then remove it with a rich and gentle shampoo such as the Macassar Oil one. Rins-ing, however, must be thorough and should be continued until the water runs clear in order to remove all traces of the gel.

PROTECT AND ENHANCE BEAUTY:

A FEW MORE HIGHLYEFFECTIVE TIPS.

• In warm weather dry your hair outdoors. However, if you have little time and in-clination, use the hair-dryer, holding it at 25 cm from the head and only applying lukewarm air.• Only use brushes with natural bristles, without, however, exceeding 50 brush strokes a day.• Do not wear your hair

constantly in a pony-tail, chignon, plaits or with fixed slides which ruin the hair.• On all accounts avoid back-combing.• During the winter months always remember to use con-ditioner to protect your hair from smog, fog, rain and pollution.• Keep an eye on your diet, as hair, in order to be beau-tiful, must be healthy. Eat food which is rich in pro-tein (very fresh eggs, low-fat cheese, yoghurt, lentils and

beans), vitamins of the B group (yeast, whole cereals), mineral salts and vitamins (fresh vegetables, honey). Ask your herbalist for a recipe for cooking millet and learn to eat this food which is invaluable for the beauty of your hair. Above all if you have oily hair, drasti-cally reduce the consumption of animal fats, sugar and carbohydrates: replace them with raw olive oil, honey and whole cereals.

I t is extremely important for everybody to start off the day on the right footing: leaving the

house with peace of mind, comfort, happy with the world after a good breakfast, music, and also the special care which we dedicate to ourselves in the bathroom. Nowadays the essential part of a man’s personal care is shaving. So that this operation does not become a bore but instead a moment of narcissistic pleasure, L’Erbolario has introduced extremely fresh and easy-to-use products, beneficial and gentle on the skin. This is not all. In order to prevent those who have intelligently learnt to grant a few extra minutes to their appearance from being forced to loot women’s cosmetics, the lines are enriched with actual beauty products, essential and effective, designed for men.

Face Serum 173

With Baobab Oil and Extract of Siberian Ginseng

Light and almost impalpa-ble in texture, this serum is absorbed rapidly by the skin, which benefits enor-mously from the combined action of its numerous ac-tive substances. These have all been selected on the ba-sis of their ability to fight the ageing process with a constant lifting effect and their efforts are concentrated around the combined action of the Baobab oil, elasticis-ing and protective, and the extract of Siberian Ginseng, a substance which has an immediate firming effect on the skin.

In order to avoid this and ensure the eyes, which are such an important part of any man’s face, are always surrounded by toned and re-freshed skin, this fluid com-bines, in its light texture, a harmonious team of ten dif-ferent active substances, all guided by the filler action of the extract of Micro-algae, the elasticising action of the Orange bioflavonoids and the anti-ageing effect of Beta Glucane.

Babies Range

T he smallest children need the greatest care. And for children we have always dedicated gentle-

ness above all. That of the most tender affection, but also of gestures, sounds and colours, the furniture in their room and the clothes they wear, that of the first toys and the first books they enjoy. L’Erbolario, too, from an ideal garden, has chosen for them the most delicate flowers, the lightest fragrances, the most gen-tle extracts and oils to formulate five products which respect the special fragility of their brand-new skin. Cleanliness and protection will thus be deliciously pleasant and above all safe.

SWEETNESS, SWEETNESS,

SWEETNESS. . .

We can all agree on one thing: children are irresistible just as they are and do not need any special “cosmetic” to look lovely. For the first “hygiene” operations a few basic products are required, specially formulated however, given that skin up until puberty, although complete in histological terms, has important differences compared to that of adults.It is much less oily and lubricated, in that sebaceous secretions are virtually zero and, although perspiring copiously, it is almost totally odourless, in that apocrine secretion has not begun, being connected to hormonal-sexual activity. It has a thinner epidermis-corneum layer, which makes the skin more permeable and sensitive to the action of external agents. It is easy to understand, therefore, how children’s skin is more resilient, softer and smoother, i.e. more beautiful, but much more delicate and vulnerable. It goes without saying therefore that it should be treated with all due precautions and with maximum gentleness: since oil does not have to be removed, it would be totally unnecessary, among other things, to use products which are too harsh.

A FEW WORDS ONBATHING & SHAMPOO

• The rule that babies should be bathed daily has to be re-futed. Until they reach one year in age this frequency may be appropriate if the child likes the warmth and movement of the water, i.e. if it amuses and relaxes him.Otherwise bathing, as a hy-gieneprocess, can quite easily be per-formed weekly.

• In particular, new-born ba-bies do not require much wash-ing with water. The important thing is that they are cleaned thoroughly at each nappy change and dressed in newly laundered underclothes.

• If the skin of the child is par-

maining in contact with urine and faeces (their com-bined action is particularly hazardous due to the high concentration of ammonia which develops);

2) try to allow the skin of ba-by’s bottom to breathe as much as possible, every so often letting him stay half-naked in a room which is well heated in winter and possibly in the open air dur-ing the summer months;

3) after each nappy change spread a protective cream properly over the whole skin of the critical areas.

• It is not necessary to cover the child in talcum powder which, by obstructing the pores, pre-vents proper transpiration.

ticularly irritable, a good hand-ful of rice starch dissolved in water is an increasingly effective aid with a beneficial softening effect.

• It is extremely important that the child is dried completely after the bath, with special at-tention for the folds of the skin (groin, armpits, backs of the knees etc.).

• A fright for mothers and a serious irritant for babies is rep-resented by nappy rash, which should above all be prevented:1) prevent the skin from re-

151

• Before dressing the child again, find the time, in the warmth, for a gentle and re-laxing massage, after having softened your hands with a little protective cream.

• Even cleaning baby’s head in the early months requires delicate and careful touches: an extremely delicate massage with a little mild shampoo and warm water.Any milk scab can be elimi-nated gradually by applying on the skin, before shampooing and again with a delicate mas-sage, a little olive oil. The scabs should never be removed, as this would cause lasting scars.

• As time goes by the child will gradually become involved in hygiene matters which, in-troduced as a game, will defi-nitely be well accepted. Soap and toothpaste will then make an appearance, but for bathing and hair washing it is a good idea always to use specific and delicate products: for years to come the skin will be lovely, fresh and elastic, but, until the time of early puberty, will not have fully developed its mecha-nisms of defence.

ing a film on the skin to protect it from irritants, and mucilage of mallow, with its well-known softening properties. A few spoonfuls in the warm bath water thus create a soft and lightly per-fumed lather which cleanses with the utmost gentleness and leaves a pleasant sense of well-being and cleanliness.

Shampoo 185

for BabiesWith Rice and Mallow

An extremely gentle mild shampoo which will not ir-ritate your baby’s eyes and will respect his silky hair. It cleanses delicately, without affecting the sebaceous pro-tection of the scalp which, in the first years of life, is still scarce.

WHICH PRODUCTSTO USE

Cleansing Milk 181

for BabiesWith Camomile and Mallow

A creamy and extreme-ly delicate cleansing milk with neutral pH, enriched with softening, moisturis-ing and nourishing ele-ments. Between each bath, there are many occasions on which baby’s skin has to be cleansed: one example being the many nappy changes! The Cleansing Milk for Ba-bies, extremely practical to use, facilitates operations and helps to prevent the pos-sible problems of traditional cleansing: it contributes in maintaining intact the hy-drolipid layer of the skin and fights the harsh effects of urine, avoiding reddening and irritation.

Bath Foam 184

for BabiesWith Rice and Mallow

The particular sensitivity of children’s skin, which has not yet fully developed its defence potential, forces exceptional cleansers to be used. Our Bath Foam, strictly neutral, has thus been formulated on an extremely delicate cleansing base: it is made up of naturally derived elements and those of a sugar origin. It is enriched by rice proteins, capable of form-

tive skin and fragile hair of babies, with a totally natural cleansing activity (surfactants derived from Glucose and Coconut), enriched with the protective, soothing and softening properties of Rice, Apple, Mallow and Olive Oil.

Wet Wipes 858

for Babies With Mallow, Rice and Camomile

Practical but gentle, for cleansing the extremely deli-cate skin of a baby. These soft wet-wipes in non-wo-ven fabric are soaked in a fluid emulsion with physi-ological pH, extremely deli-cate and of vegetable origin

(Coconut, Palm, Castor-oil), enriched with the unique properties of Camomile, Rice Proteins and Mallow, perfect for softening, refresh-ing and protecting the skin. They are therefore ideal for the numerous nappy-chang-es during early infancy, after which they are perfect for toddlers outside the home, when they start to explore, touching everything, passing from the pebbles in the park to their tea, and when they want to eat their ice-cream by themselves.

Protective Cream 182

for BabiesWith Shea butter and Mallow

A thick cream, rich in vi-tamins and natural emol-lients which nourish, soften and maintain baby’s sensitive skin elastic. Spread in a thin layer, it forms a protective film which defends against any irritant: cold, wind, sun, but also (and above all) urine. It is therefore ideal for preventing peeling, ir-ritations and reddening in the groin area of new-born babies where, together with the inevitable permanence of irrita-ting liquids, there is also continual rubbing by the nappy.

153

Perfume 183

for BabiesRefreshing flower tonic, alcohol-free

In order to complete the care of babies, to refresh them and provide relief after a walk or day in the sun, to wrap them in a lightly perfumed cloud before an important occasion, we have chosen the fresh fra-grance of orange blossom, mitigated by the light aroma of camomile. The added softening substances (pro-teins of rice and mucilage of mallow) help to maintain the most delicate skin soft and the total absence of al-cohol avoids any danger ofdehydration.

SAFETY & QUALITYFOR BABIES

All the products in the “child’s garden” range have been for-mulated to fulfil the special demands of the delicate and sensitive skin of new-born ba-bies. Their ingredients have a maximum degree of purity and absolute quality. The active in-gredients are chosen from among those which for centuries have been used by men and hence boast a tradition of unquestion-able efficacy and tried-and-tested safety. Preparation and packag-ing are governed by the strict-est rules of hygiene, while each individual lot undergoes careful microbiological and physico-chemical tests which provide a guarantee of constant quality and stability. Strict clinical trials performed at the University of Pavia have ascertained the op-timum skin tolerability of each individual product.

To make you tan better, more rapidly and in to-tal safety: these are the goals which L’Erbolario

pursues for you. The eight specific products which we offer you have been specially formulated to encour-age the tan and make it last as long as possible, to moisturise and protect the skin, at the same time maintaining it smooth and elastic, and thus prevent its premature ageing and the formation of small wrinkles, to revive it after hours and hours of intense outdoor life. In this way you can take advantage of all the good things the sun has to offer, “creating” first of all and then prolonging that wonderful natu-ral protection which is known as a suntan.

THE SUN PRODUCTS

or three days and gradually increase the amount of time spent sunbathing. This will al-low you to obtain a perfect tan rapidly and without running any pointless risks.3) Choose appropriate pro-tection on the basis of your photo-type (skin - hair - eyes), the climate, the season and the latitude. If in doubt, opt for a high SPF. Check the UV index for the day by con-sulting the weather forecast in daily newspapers: the higher the index, the more important protection becomes.4) Remember that it is never a good idea to spend too much time motionless in the sun and do not underestimate the risks of reverberation. Use a good sun product even if you are sitting under a sun umbrella or the sky is slightly overcast.5) Do not use alcohol-based perfume or eau de toilette be-fore exposure to the sun and, if you are taking any medicines (sulphamides, antibiotics, tran-quilisers), consult your doctor, to avoid the risk of increased sensitivity or allergic reactions.6) Between 11 a.m. and 3

p.m., the sun’s rays are more likely to irritate the skin than to tan it, so avoid sitting in the sun during this time.7) Reapply your sun product around once an hour and al-ways after a swim, shower, water-skiing, etc.8) Remember that sun prod-ucts are not applied like other beauty products: particularly during the first few days, it is better for a generous film to form on the skin and ex-perts suggest applying 35 g. of product, corresponding with around six teaspoons of cream, in each application. Always remember that it is pointless, if not dangerous, to massage sun products into the skin too much.9) Remember your hair needs as much protection as your skin.10) Immediately after a swim and always at the end of the day, take a shower in fresh water to remove all traces of sale and chlorine from your hair and skin.11) All these precautions are especially important for chil-dren, who benefit greatly from the sun, but require particular care in exposure to it. Chil-dren should always wear sun-glasses and a hat and, when very small, according to der-matologists, should even be

ADVICE FOR THE PERFECT TAN

The sun is one of the strongest allies for our beauty, health and well-being. Its energy is exhilarating and stimulating. However, its powers must be used wisely, in order to avoid those minor problems we all know about and the more seri-ous problem of premature skin ageing, one of the principal causes of which is incautious exposure to the sun without sufficient protection.The worry caused over recent years by the holes in the ozone layer surrounding the earth should have been enough to convince everyone to behave more carefully and assess their own photo-type, the season, the latitude of their location and the good sense of using appropriate protection before exposing their skin to the sun’s warmth and light.So, in order to make the most of the sun, with neither too much nor too little, we must use our own good sense and effective and safe products.Before discussing our sun prod-ucts, we have listed below the rules of an ideal “code of con-duct” for the sun.1) Decide that your aim is categorically to avoid being sunburned at all costs.2) Do not spend too much time in the sun during the first two

On the basis of this classification, all sun products must now be divided into 4 different categories, each cat-egorised by a higher or lower protection capacity, according to the following table:Category SPF indexLow Protection 6 10Medium Protection 15 20 25High Protection 30 50Ultra Protection 50+

All L’Erbolario sun products (with the exception of the Super Tanning Ointment and Aqua-sole, which do not contain filters and must therefore be consid-ered as simple supplements for moisturising and nourishing the skin during exposure to the sun) show a number linked with this categorisation from 6 to 50+, which indicates the ability of the product to block or extin-guish, to use the highly effective term used by experts, UVB and UVA rays.The presence of the UVA symbol on each packet and bottle of our sun products indicates that the product complies with the very latest requirements of the Eu-ropean Commission, or rather guarantees screening of UVA rays equal to 1/3 of the total sun protection factor (e.g. a sun

THE SUN PROTEC-TION FACTOR

L’Erbolario sun products have been designed by our R&D laboratory to measure the UVA and UVB filters correctly and to block harmful rays. They there-fore allow you to obtain a good tan whole providing the right amount of protection.A brief explanation of the method of defining the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is nec-essary at this point.Faithful as always to the strict-est parameters of propriety and professionalism in its re-lationship with its customers, L’Erbolario decided to adopt promptly the recommendations of the European Commission regulating sun protection in-dicators.According to these recommen-dations, solely and exclusively products capable of providing protection against UVB and UVA rays exceeding 6 may be considered as sun products, so L’Erbolario immediately took steps to adapt the formulas of all its sun products with an SPF lower than 6.The European Commission also recognises the International Sun Protection Factor Method as the only one to be used from

It guarantees a medium level of protection , thanks to the rich array of natural filters (Aloe, Helichrysum, Rice Bran Derivates); the long-lasting, deep-down mois-turising effect on the skin helps neutralise the effects of exposure (Shea Butter, Macadamia, Aloe); it also guarantees a good level of Vitamin E (Rice Bran Oil) and helps fight the formation of free radicals, redness and chapping (Glycyrretic Acid Complex from Liquorice). With a specific medium fil-ter for UVB rays (which do not go beyond the interme-diate layers of the dermis and, by stimulating melanin, assist the tanning process), it acts as a barrier against UVA rays, which always penetrate deep down, even when the

Full of moisturising, nour-ishing and protective ele-ments and with a precious anti-ageing action, the Sun Fluid contains two origi-nal substances. The first is the result of an innovative combination of the most ac-tive molecules of Sesame Oil and Wheat Germ oil, extracted through molecular

The characterising element of this cream, the oil ex-tracted from the tiny, red-tipped Amaranth seeds, offers powerful protection against UVA rays, working alongside the classic Gamma Orizanol for an essential protective action.However, the most charac-teristic feature of this oil is that it is the plant oil closest in composition to the lipids on the surface of the skin. That is how it works in syn-ergy with the multitude of other substances (Avocado Oil, Purified Fraction of Soya Seeds and Rice Pep-tides, Unsaponifiable Frac-tion of Olive Oil, Jojoba

Wax Esters) which, due to their elasticising, soothing action and their effective-ness against the formation of free radicals, make this sun product a perfect and highly rich day cream.A special day cream which, without requiring lengthy and dangerous exposure to the sun, can ensure a splen-did and smooth tan. It can be used as soon as the warm weather starts and through-out the summer, using a product with a higher pro-tection factor during the first few days by the sea or in the mountains.
