You know that…
The tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum) is native to Latin America, in the areas that now correspond to the states of Peru and Ecuador. From here it was brought to Mexico by the Maya and then widely used by the Aztecs. Around 1540 the tomato was introduced in Europe and their diffusion was for ornamental purposes: showing exotic plants was a source of pride for the nobles, especially in France where the vegetable was planted in the park of the palace of Versailles for the pride of the King Sole, who loved to arouse the amazement of his friends, showing that strange plant with the yellow flowers and the yellow-orange balls. Subsequently, the tomato acquired fame as a medicinal plant: the peel, rich in lycopene is known for its marked antioxidant properties. This feature makes it particularly useful in fighting aging, and cardiovascular diseases.

Did you know there are over 400 avocado varieties? And they are all different in shape, color, and flavor. Avocado was cultivated by the native populations of Central and South America even before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and was called the 'alligator pear' for its shape and the rough green rind of some varieties. We find historical writings on the properties of avocados for medical and food uses as early as the 16th century. Among the many virtues was the power of the core in treating sores and infections of the skin and scalp. Avocado is one of the most nutritious fruits and in addition to the multiple beneficial effects for health it is a precious ally of beauty: its pulp in fact - applied to the hair - helps to give great brightness and is perfect for nourishing damaged hair, dry or dull.

FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS WITH PREBIOTIC ACTION
NATURAL PROTECTION
Our skin is a balanced and diversified ecosystem populated by good bacteria that defend us from external threats. The more we protect it, the lower our risk will be from suffering from allergic reactions and sensitive skin.
Imbalances, linked to lifestyle and states of anxiety or stress, can alter the natural defenses of the skin, which are also made up of these microorganisms.
The products from the Gentle Use, Soothing, and specific treatment ranges contain prebiotic functional ingredients, which help to naturally heal the balance of the skin’s microbiota.
The prebiotic vine extract is rich in nutrients such as mineral salts, amino acids, natural saccharides, polyphenols, and organic acids, which protect the microbiota of the various layers of the skin.
