We use the insight of Dr. Ferri and her team at EffegiLab in Trento to move beyond naïve natural formulations. They have used their 35 years of skincare research and development to create natural formulations that are exceptionally skin kind and combine outstanding fragrance and feel with low allergenic potential and proven effectiveness.

The Mediterranean diet is widely considered to be the cleanest, healthiest and most balanced in the world, and is the inspiration for all our products. Far from a faddy trend, the Mediterranean diet is enjoyed by all those who want the benefits of a long and healthy life, based on healthy oils and unprocessed goodness.

In the same way that the Mediterranean diet promotes good health from the inside out, we find the nutrient-dense ingredients to be deeply beneficial when applied from the outside in; supplying the skin with a wealth of vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants to help nourish, rejuvenate and protect.

The Irene Forte range was originally developed for use by the spa professionals in the Rocco Forte hotel spas. As a result, all the formulations have been tested and approved by elite professionals for effectiveness and skin kindness. 

As we move beyond the spa market, we have kept those professional standards to ensure our spa-level skincare expertise can be appreciated by everyone at home.

We believe our ethics are as important as the products themselves. 

Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated in full here, but in short, we ensure that every single stage of our manufacturing, development, distribution and even recycling processes are considered for their impact on the planet, the user and the Sicilian community from which our products originate.

We are vegan-friendly and in line with our commitment to sustainable skin-friendly formulae, we only use what is necessary and use naturally derived alternatives to synthetic colours, harsh surfactants and preservatives.
