Fresh Essence, where opposites complement each other. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine smelling the scent of lemon and lime: an unmistakable, zesty perfume. But there’s another scent, warm and comforting, it is the scent of Larch and Mimosa tenuiflora bark. Fresh Essence springs from this contrast, from the zest of citrus fruit and the warmth of wood, two opposites that, although so different, attract, blend with and enhance one another.

SHEA BUTTER
African women have kept an irreplaceable beauty secret since ancient times: shea butter. It is obtained from the nuts of the impressive vitellaria paradoxa, also known as the “tree of youth”. The butter is extracted between mid-June and mid-September and processed manually according to tradition. It is pale yellow, has a soft and mouldable consistency and an impressive cosmetic action: given the presence of sterols, tocopherols, vitamins A, B, E and F, it can protect the skin against climatic aggressions, ensuring nourishment and hydration. We at L'ERBOLARIO have respected this sacred tree and the importance its processing has in African society. The butter used in the shea butter line comes from sustainable supplies and is produced by local communities in Burkina Faso. Thousands of women are involved in the harvesting and processing of the nuts, who not only have the traditional privilege of protecting the sacred plant, but their work also actively contributes to maintaining and seeing to the needs their family. It is therefore fair trade shea butter whose trade generates a positive impact on the whole society involved in its harvesting and production, thereby reducing poverty and ensuring a better future for everyone.
