Organic Two-Roses Toner

Refreshing and normalising. ALCOHOL-FREE, this toner is fresh and moisturising. Made from organic, locally-sourced rosa rugosa and rosa muscosa roses from the Scrivia Valley and enriched with basil extract from Genoa Prà and organic, fair-trade cane sugar from Paraguay. Give your skin the gift of new energy and moisture. Its only fragrance is that of its own natural ingredients and it is free of synthetic perfumes. Inland from Genoa, deep in the countryside in the Scrivia Valley, “La Sereta” farm (www.lasereta.ittel. +39 0109693108) has, for many years, been using natural and certified organic methods to grow two unique types of roses: Rosa Rugosa and Rosa Muscosa, both with intense fragrances, both with links to time-honoured historical tradition. These roses, which were in danger of extinction until a few years ago, were reassessed in the year 2000, as a result of the founding of the association Le rose della valle scrivia (The Roses of Scrivia Valley: http://rosevallescrivia.altervista.org/), whose objective was to restore their cultivation. The annual festivities for the now traditional Festival of the Roses, held in late May or early June (the weather knows no masters!), celebrate the production of a famous rose syrup made using ancient traditional methods. Slow Food has added this rose syrup to its list of local specialities to be protected. Naturaequa, thanks to its partnership with “La Sereta”, has been able to use the petals of these two ancient rose varieties to create a special and unique extract, the basic ingredient of its Two-Roses Toner.
