e are pleased and proud to present to you the products 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 vegetable 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 LErbolario from the four corners of the world, they impregnate with their perfume ourselves, our workplaces and even the surrounding 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 allies 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 precious wisdom of the past and the undeniable discoveries 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 demonstration. 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 LErbolario products, which are manufactured in compliance with the strictest 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 Italys oldest and most prestigious universities, the University of Pavia. Obviously, animals are never used in these tests.

While it usually appears on the cheeks, it can also sometimes spread to the sides of the nostrils or larger areas of the face.

Extraordinarily powerful,
Alpha Hydroxy Acids may have a complicated name, but their origin is very simple. Unknowingly, but effectively, 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, attenuating wrinkles, lightening dark marks and simultaneously strengthening the layer beneath. In balanced doses, carefully combined and supported by nourishing and moisturising complexes, they create genuinely innovative and extraordinary products. Due to their smoothing and restorative properties, the products in the Delicate Fruit Acids range are suitable for all skin types: dry skin benefits from their action, because they normalise the excess production of flaky cells which weakens the lipidic layer; greasy skin, suffocated by the excessive amount of sebum on its surface, starts breathing again when it is stimulated by this cream and becomes brighter; tired or wrinkled skin recovers strength and compactness and experiences smoothing of the wrinkles which are caused by the natural slowdown in cell exchange caused by age, stress or other environmental factors.

THE ANTI-AGEING FACE PRODUCTS

he 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, LErbolario 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.
SKIN AGES VERY EARLY The splendour, turgidness and smoothness of the skin, which reach their peak around the age of 20, are unfortunately shortlived. Then, inevitably and inexorably, from around 25 onwards, the skin ages: its metabolism 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 increasingly 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. NOW THERE IS SOMETHING NEW The second half of this century, and in particular the past decade, has witnessed great scientific interest 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 translated into rules for living: reduce intoxication (smoking, drinking etc.), avoid psychosomatic stress, prevent illness, protect against free radicals, keep cholesterol under 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.
24

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 general basis, applies especially as regards our skin. SCIENCE APPLIED TO COSMETICS Actual discoveries (collagen, elastin, liposomes) from increasingly close research into cells have allowed truly revolutionary cosmetic preparations to be produced, 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-

ably refined. Nothing can replace the extremely slow distillation of nature, but nowadays it is technological 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 LErbolario felt obliged to exploit the new knowledge to the full and therefore formulated a line specifically 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 processes, 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 formulation is 5 products (6 with the Suntan Cream for the Face) with an extremely fine consistency, comfortable and easy to use. Your skin will find in them nourishment suitable for reforming 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 confirmed with increasing frequency by the whole of modern science: prevention is better than cure. This leads us to say that the anti-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 considerable 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 antiageing products alternately with the usual ones. For effective prevention, we usually recommend at least 2 annual cycles, in spring and autumn.

tive and precious natural elements (extensin and asparagus root extract), combined with the ingredients of maximum purity, allow, right from the basic act of cleansing, the battle to commence against agents which are irritating and damaging for the structure and youthfulness of the skin.

This non-oily and extremely fine preparation, pleasant to apply, is a real skin food. It contains a high percentage, among the other active ingredients, of avocado oil, farnesol and pantothenic acid. The former is one of the most effective skin protectors and softeners which, thanks to the affinity with natural lipids, softens the skin, performing the extremely useful action of protecting it and of retaining water. Farnesol, on the other hand, is a substance with high biological potential, extracted from the essential oils of rose, acacia, lily-of-the-valley, lilac and also from oak moss and sandalwood. Combined with pantothenic acid, it forms a complex of which research has recognised extraordinary properties: 1) it helps to maintain tissue

in its ideal natural condition. 2) it has a softening and toning 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 to retain water. This is exactly what a skin which is no longer quite so young, or which is undergoing periods of particular fatigue, requires during the night. The already rich ingredients of the cream have been joined by vitamin E, also known as the vitamin of youth, which has an anti-oxidising action par excellence, i.e. it fights free radicals.

Day Cream

008

With Extensin, Asparagus root Extract and Phytosomes of the Flavonoids of Ladys Thistle

During the day the skin easily comes into contact with all those external agents which specialists agree in considering ruthless aggressors and mostly responsible for ageing: light, first of all (both that of the sun and artificial light), the changes in humidity and temperature,

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, exaggerated expressions, smiles and doubts of facial movements turn into wrinkles. Therefore a day cream has to ensure protection which could be antithetical: maximum protection, optimum concentration of active ingredients and at the same time easy use and immediate absorption, as well as benefits prolonged throughout the day. The anti-age cream brilliantly fulfils all these requirements. It is rapidly absorbed by the skin, leaves a pleasant sensation of well-being and renewed lightness, and encourages 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 according to the knowledge of phytotherapy. In order to soften the skin and make it capable of withstanding sensitising and allergising factors, the flavonoids of ladys thistle are combined with
26

phytosomes which transport them into the skin and prolong their efficacy. In order to fight free radicals, 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 vitamin B5 provide moisturising 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, however long, unlike in the animal 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.

Multi-active Face Serum

Fast-acting firming fluid

010

A concentrated serum with immediate and accumulative action. It ensures optimum exploitation of powerful functional elements of a vegetable origin which, immediately supplied to the skin thanks to the phospholipid liposomes, act on the texture, complexion and resistance of the skin: the firming effect, noticed immediately after application, reveals a real cosmetic face-lift which refines the shape and distends the features. This is therefore the ideal product, which can be applied before any other treatment, 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 firming effect on the features of the face, it represents an ideal first aid for beauty at particularly critical times: a few applications provide smoothness, 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 effective anti-ageing prevention. 3) used continuously it restores and helps particularly tired and stressed skin, preserving elasticity and redistending the features.

The extremely light cream which makes up this face pack is full of active vegetable ingredients and vitamin complexes which combine to combat the phenomena of skin ageing. Its very comfortable application achieves the immediate effect of distending the features and leaving the skin silky and velvety, while it prepares it to receive the benefits of anti-age creams in the best possible way. When you expose your face to the sun, do not forget the Antiageing Face Sun Cream, Lip Stick+, Before & After serum.

RISPOSTA HIGH PHYTOCOSMETICS RANGE

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.
NEW NEEDS AND DESIRES Closer attention and consideration 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 concentrated and focused effort is needed to maintain the skins natural balance and to protect its natural beauty against excess production of free radicals, which are the cause of oxidative stress, i.e. the alterations in collagen 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 experience. 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. Laboratories are now working to identify new raw materials, combining their properties, with the aid of the most advanced cosmetic science and the purpose of creating 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, LErbolario research has the right Responses. CHANGING THE RESPONSE In this situation, the level of responsibility of LErbolario research has naturally increased and this has led to an increase in the quality of the Response. Advanced Phytocosmetics from LErbolario derives from the most advanced vegetable-based cosmetics and offers the best response 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 skins needs, in seven specific treatments: Risposta Day, Risposta Night, Risposta Perfection (lifting effect), Risposta Details (area around eyes and lips), Risposta Phytofiller Face Firming Cream, Risposta Phytofiller Serum Face Firming Cream and Risposta Cleansing.

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 makeup 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 delicate non-foaming gel, is a new form of make-up remover and the first step on the path towards a younger and better-looking skin starts with make-up removal. For a total beauty treatment, from start to finish.

The best Response for anyone who has always dreamed of reinvigorating their skin and helping it function properly throughout the day. The skin needs increasing protection against the increasingly intense factors in the skin ageing process, such as light, polluted air and air conditioning, stress and climactic elements.

The skin can count on the store of toning, protective and moisturising elements which this product provides.

We know that the nutritional substances these products contain reach us cleaner, stronger and as a greater source of wellbeing. And what about the skin on our face, our body? Perhaps it is time to start nourishing and moisturising it following the same principle! This is the philosophy behind the Bio-ecocosmetics range of LErbolario.

Products dedicated to anyone who looks at the true substance of things, who would rather have the small and imperfectly shaped apple which, compared with its perfectly-

round sisters, usually conceals a genuine wealth of flavour, salts and vitamins; just as they would rather choose a cream with a texture which is not perfectly vanishing and without the most popular fragrance of the moment, but which retains intact all the properties.

This has created a penetrating perfume with an indomitable verve, which rides like a wave across this fresh and complete range of bath products. In its balanced formulation, the highlights are the beneficial extracts of plants which, even when just placed or immersed in water, obtain their life force and beauty from it. The purple Alga Nori and Blue Water lily with their splendid flowers are present in a Bath Foam, Fluid Cream and Soap with their enviable array of flavonoids, mineral salts, proteins and vitamins. They offer the skin a veil of softness and protection every day, as well as an essenwelcoming and peaceful lagoon, not only due to the sparkling fragrance which will instantly surround you and create the illusion of being rocked by the waves, but also because the active substances which characterise this range will have given the water of your bath an important surplus of mineral salts and vitamins. The Distilled Water of Blue Water lily is also used to soften and tone the skin, which the Extract of Alga Nori has already thoroughly moisturised and refreshed.

are sensitive, delicate and precious. They love calm, steady movements and gentleness. 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 measures. 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 using a no-gas spray, which protects it from external aggression.

F inally there are the base notes, with an intense fragrance, which support the heart notes: patchouli, labdanum oil, oak moss, benzoin and incense. Discover
their numerous 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 (lemon, bergamot, mandarin) or from labiates (sage, rosemary, hyssop, mint).

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 sophisticated touch: perfume the collar and cuffs of your clothes. On evaporating the perfume will create a harmonious wake of fragrances.

o not despair if your hair rebels against everyday 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 responding with kindness and patience, nourishing it, caressing it and providing the care it deserves. The products which LErbolario 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
FIRST OPERATION: PROPER WASHING

Erbolario shampoos are the result of ongoing research, thorough tests and constant updating, according 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 other cosmetics, the shampoos too, in order to ascertain their tolerability, were subjected to strict clinical trials at the University of Pavia, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe. In order to prolong the results guaranteed by LErbolario, 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

hair, which is increasingly fragile, but instead concentrate 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 necessary, with small amounts of specific shampoos. Pay no attention to the banal commonplace 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 conditioner. 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 swimming-pool, rinse hair immediately after swimming with a shampoo for frequent washes, in order to neutralise the harmful effects of chlorine.

Of all hair problems, dandruff is possibly the most delicate: the Propolis Shampoo, thanks to its balanced formula, which removes dandruff and purifies the skin, eliminates existing dandruff particles and prevents further formation.

Restructuring Shampoo

955

With 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.

Forced to suffer often stressful colour changes, treated 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. Specially formulated to fight the damaging effects of chemical agents, the pleasant gel of this shampoo is full of highly effective active substances, capable of ensuring deep moisturising and nourishment and plenty of protection.

A good after-shampoo treatment, which is highly recommended for all hair types, becomes essential in the case of weak, fragile, dyed or bleached hair. Highly nourishing and restorative, 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 cuticles and restore the hair in the most damaged areas, strengthening the stem. The hair receives the nourishment and moisture it needs and the risk of split ends is attenuated, leaving hair which is glossy and beautiful, but also healthy and strong.

T H E H A I R C O L OURS
Also as regards hair colour, we at LErbolario 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 to THE COLOURS OF LERBOLARIO 7 gels produced for a gentle action, easy to use, delicately perfumed, which above all respect the health of your hair, maintaining its shine.

Henna Gel

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 packaged 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. Rinsing, however, must be thorough and should be continued until the water runs clear in order to remove all traces of the gel.

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 conditioner to protect your hair from smog, fog, rain and pollution. Keep an eye on your diet, as hair, in order to be beautiful, must be healthy. Eat food which is rich in protein (very fresh eggs, low-fat cheese, yoghurt, lentils and
131

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, drastically reduce the consumption of animal fats, sugar and carbohydrates: replace them with raw olive oil, honey and whole cereals.

he smallest children need the greatest care. And for children we have always dedicated gentleness 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. LErbolario, too, from an ideal garden, has chosen for them the most delicate flowers, the lightest fragrances, the most gentle 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.
149

SW E E T N E S S , S W E E T NESS, 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 childrens 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 ON BATHING & SHAMPOO The rule that babies should be bathed daily has to be refuted. 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 hygiene process, can quite easily be performed weekly. In particular, new-born babies do not require much washing 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 parmaining in contact with urine and faeces (their combined action is particularly hazardous due to the high concentration of ammonia which develops); 2) try to allow the skin of babys bottom to breathe as much as possible, every so often letting him stay halfnaked in a room which is well heated in winter and possibly in the open air during 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, prevents proper transpiration.

ticularly irritable, a good handful 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 attention for the folds of the skin (groin, armpits, backs of the knees etc.). A fright for mothers and a serious irritant for babies is represented by nappy rash, which should above all be prevented: 1) prevent the skin from re150

Before dressing the child again, find the time, in the warmth, for a gentle and relaxing massage, after having softened your hands with a little protective cream. Even cleaning babys 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 eliminated gradually by applying on the skin, before shampooing and again with a delicate massage, 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, introduced as a game, will definitely 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 mechanisms of defence.

WHICH PRODUCTS TO USE

Cleansing Milk for Babies

With Camomile and Mallow

181

A creamy and extremely delicate cleansing milk with neutral pH, enriched with softening, moisturising and nourishing elements. Between each bath, there are many occasions on which babys skin has to be cleansed: one example being the many nappy changes!

ing a film on the skin to protect it from irritants, and mucilage of mallow, with its well-known softening properties.

Shampoo for Babies

With Rice and Mallow

185

Bath Foam for Babies

With Rice and Mallow

184

An extremely gentle mild shampoo which will not irritate your babys eyes and will respect his silky hair. It cleanses delicately, without affecting the sebaceous protection of the scalp which, in the first years of life, is still scarce.

The particular sensitivity of childrens 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 form151

Wet Wipes for Babies

With Mallow, Rice and Camomile

858

Practical but gentle, for cleansing the extremely delicate skin of a baby. These soft wet-wipes in non-woven fabric are soaked in a fluid emulsion with physiological pH, extremely delicate and of vegetable origin

(Coconut, Palm, Castor-oil), enriched with the unique properties of Camomile, Rice Proteins and Mallow, perfect for softening, refreshing and protecting the skin. They are therefore ideal for the numerous nappy-changes 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.

A thick cream, rich in vitamins and natural emollients which nourish, soften and maintain babys 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, irritations 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.

Perfume for Babies

Refreshing flower tonic, alcohol-free

183

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 fragrance of orange blossom, mitigated by the light aroma of camomile. The added softening substances (proteins of rice and mucilage of mallow) help to maintain the most delicate skin soft and the total absence of alcohol avoids any danger of dehydration.

T H E S U N P R O D UCTS
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 serious 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 suns 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 products, we have listed below the rules of an ideal code of conduct 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 p.m., the suns 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 always after a swim, shower, water-skiing, etc. 8) Remember that sun products 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 experts 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 children, who benefit greatly from the sun, but require particular care in exposure to it. Children should always wear sunglasses and a hat and, when very small, according to dermatologists, should even be

or three days and gradually increase the amount of time spent sunbathing. This will allow you to obtain a perfect tan rapidly and without running any pointless risks. 3) Choose appropriate protection 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 consulting 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 before exposure to the sun and, if you are taking any medicines (sulphamides, antibiotics, tranquilisers), consult your doctor, to avoid the risk of increased sensitivity or allergic reactions. 6) Between 11 a.m. and 3
156

protected by a cotton t-shirt and, in any case, the areas of the skin exposed to the sun should be protected with a high SPF product. Very small infants, especially newborn babies, should never be directly exposed to the sun. THE SUN PROTECTION FACTOR 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 therefore 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 necessary at this point. Faithful as always to the strictest parameters of propriety and professionalism in its relationship with its customers, LErbolario decided to adopt promptly the recommendations of the European Commission regulating sun protection indicators. According to these recommendations, solely and exclusively products capable of providing protection against UVB and UVA rays exceeding 6 may be considered as sun products, so LErbolario 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

now on to determine the protection indicators and has invited all manufacturers to comply with a clear and schematic classification. On the basis of this classification, all sun products must now be divided into 4 different categories, each categorised by a higher or lower protection capacity, according to the following table: Category SPF index Low Protection 6 10 Medium Protection 15 20 25 High Protection 30 50 Ultra Protection 50+ All LErbolario sun products (with the exception of the Super Tanning Ointment and Aquasole, which do not contain filters and must therefore be considered 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 extinguish, 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 European Commission, or rather guarantees screening of UVA rays equal to 1/3 of the total sun protection factor (e.g. a sun
158

protection factor of 30 will guarantee a UVA ray screening action equal to or exceeding 10).

PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO CAPTURE THE SUN LErbolario offers efficient products for all different skin types or depending on the different exposure times, which: contain highly effective natural moisturising, nourishing and softening substances; are easy and pleasant to apply guarantee maximum protection reduce the harmful effects of solar radiation which cause premature skin ageing.

The screening effect is guaranteed by a total of four

filters, but its rich formula also contains precious natural substances like liquid Jojoba wax, acting as a barrier against the drying effects of the wind, salt and heat, Palm Oil and Olive Oil, which protect the skin against ageing, and the delicate Aloe Vera gel, which softens, moisturises and refreshes the skin. This is therefore not just an ultra-protective cream, but also a genuine beauty treatment for the face and body, as it helps maintain the quality of the skin. Ultra Protection SFP 50+

The Piccolosole Ultra-Protective sun cream is an important and precious ally for every mothers peace of mind: its ultra-effective screen against UVA and UVB rays is guaranteed by two different filters (Gamma Orizanol from Rice Bran Oil and the Unsaponifiable Fraction of Olive Oil), whereas the soothing, softening and protective action is provided by a combina-

caresses. This is extremely important, because it is necessary to repeat application a number of times during the day, virtually on an hourly basis and always after a bath or shower, even though Piccolosole is highly water resistant.

With a specific medium filter for UVB rays (which do not go beyond the intermediate 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

skin is tanned, and cause premature skin ageing. Suitable for all skin types. Medium Protection SPF 25

Full of moisturising, nourishing and protective elements and with a precious anti-ageing action, the Sun Fluid contains two original substances. The first is the result of an innovative combination of the most active molecules of Sesame Oil and Wheat Germ oil, extracted through molecular

The characterising element of this cream, the oil extracted from the tiny, redtipped Amaranth seeds, offers powerful protection against UVA rays, working alongside the classic Gamma Orizanol for an essential protective action.

For your Gifts

Erbolario is proud of the quality of its products and the work to improve them constantly, always finding new applications for the treasures concealed in nature, is what absorbs its greatest energies.

This has led to highly attractive packaged products, in our opinion, which frequently become scented gifts. In order to contain them in the best possible way, here are bags and boxes, both small and large, which are appealing even before they are opened.
