As we celebrate World Vegan Day, we’re proud to announce that Irene Forte Skincare is Certified Vegan by VeganOK, Italy’s trusted certification body for plant-based products. For over 20 years, VeganOK has guided consumers worldwide in choosing ethical, plant-based options, setting a high standard for reliability and sustainability in cosmetics, food, household products, and more. This certification reflects our dedication to vegan skincare that not only meets ethical standards but also delivers unparalleled quality and results.
Our Commitment to Plant-Powered Skincare
At Irene Forte Skincare, we believe in the power of plants. Our vegan formulations are carefully crafted to harness the natural benefits of plant-based ingredients, providing skin with essential vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants for a healthy, radiant appearance.
A significant part of our product line is powered by Sicilian botanicals. We grow our ingredients on our organic farm at Verdura Resort in Sicily, where we maintain complete control over their quality and purity. Anything we don’t grow ourselves, we source from trusted Italian farmers who share our commitment to excellence. This local approach not only supports our community but also ensures a fresh, high-quality blend in every product.
Inspired by the Mediterranean Diet
The Mediterranean Diet is celebrated as one of the healthiest and most balanced diets in the world and is known for promoting longevity and wellness through wholesome, nutritional foods. We have a similar ethos for the skin; providing it with vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants to support hydration, nourishment, and microbiome balance for lasting skin health. Certified for sensitive skin, our products are free from harsh or unsustainable ingredients. Just like the Mediterranean diet promotes longevity, we promote skin longevity.
Our Favourite Mediterranean Actives
High quality Mediterranean ingredients are a key component of our formulas, and we have listed our favorites below, including Omega-Rich Oils (3, 6, and 9) from Olive, Sweet Almond, and Pistachio Oils. These essential fatty acids work to strengthen the skin, smooth its texture, and restore the moisture barrier. Prickly Pear Polysaccharides bring hyaluronic acid-like hydration and anti-inflammatory benefits, making skin feel plump and soothed. For antioxidant defense, Di Giovanna’s organic White Wine, rich in proanthocyanidins, shields against free radicals and promotes cellular renewal. Upcycled Olive Seed Oil, with its essential amino acids and polyphenols, delivers deep nourishment and fortifies the skin. A triple-blend of Italian Alpha Hydroxy Acids from grapes, Alto-Adige apples, and Sicilian lemons, gently exfoliate while supporting collagen, encouraging cell renewal, and leaving skin visibly smoother. We also love Madonie Regional Natural Park Water, a mineral-rich water from northern Sicily that provides essential minerals for a healthy, vibrant complexion.
As Considered as It’s Beautiful
We believe that our ethics are as crucial as our products. Our commitment to sustainability is woven into every stage of our manufacturing, development, distribution, and recycling processes. We take into account the impact on the planet, our users, and the Sicilian community from which we originate. We invite you to explore the benefits of our vegan-friendly skincare line, crafted with love in Italy.
