Organic skincare from the Italian countryside
Quality skincare starts with quality ingredients.
Not only do many skincare brands use harmful ingredients in their products, but they often don't know how or where their ingredients are grown...
At Sole Toscana we work directly with the source (our Italian farm) to control the process from "seed-to-skin". In every step of the process, we treat our ingredients with care: from how we farm, to hand-harvesting, to carefully handling the ingredients, to producing the products at low temperatures to preserve ingredient efficacy.
Long story short, our ingredients are essential to who we are as a skincare brand. They are the difference in what makes our products the freshest, highest quality organic skincare you can find.
So, today we want to share with you 10 of our key ingredients that all Sole Toscana customers and potential customers should know.
