An extraordinary facial experience. Our non-clay, anti-wrinkle mask is effective for even the most sensitive skin. This thalassotherapeutic treatment will leave your skin feeling beautiful, smooth and firm.
Our Seaweed Mask is comprised of a micronized fine powder, made fresh per individual use by combining Certified Biodynamic & Organic Lavender Hydrosol. The powder consists of several sustainably harvested seaweeds, including hand-picked red marine algae and certified organic blue green spirulina. Red marine algae, known for its antiviral properties, aids in circulation, hydration and exfoliation.
This holistic formula strengthens the epidermis, helping to provide a more youthful, renewed, healthy glow to your complexion as it fights the signs of aging.
Mix Seaweed Powder with Lavender Hydrosol to a creamy consistency and apply with brush or fingertips. Suggested measurements: Mix 3/4 scoop of Seaweed Powder to approximately 1 scoop Lavender Hydrosol. However, we encourage you to use individual measurements based on preferred consistency.
We recommend first massaging in Rosemary & Geranium Crème Cleanser to leave on under mask for blemished skin.
For best results use weekly.
The 3 step Benedetta Home Spa treatment:
1. Massage in Rosemary & Geranium Crème Cleanser.
2. Apply Seaweed Mask for a minimum of 20 minutes.
3. Luxuriate in Seaweed Bath for a minimum of 20 minutes.
*If you have a medical skin condition or are allergic or sensitive to iodine, please consult your physician before using.
After launching the Benedetta line in February 1996, with exactly 9 authentic preparations, a facial mask was not among them.
We slowly integrated into selling to estheticians and they were the ones that requested that we create a clay mask of sorts. I initially felt that our Rosemary & Geranium Cleanser was all anyone needed to achieve many of the attributes one expected from a clay mask. In fact, there is some clay in that cleanser. Leaving the cleanser on for 20 minutes while massaging congested areas is very exfoliating.
I felt that clay was far to stripping for the skin and would be counterproductive in bringing the skin into balance. I resisted until I was given a pound of some sea veggies that had been micronized (made into flour). Not complete, I added some others, along with Blue green algae, and voila, a Non-Clay Anti-Aging Facial Mask was born. Made fresh with Lavender Hydrosol, you can customize the viscosity to suit your skin.
I am not one to follow trends and run wild with one ingredient as the magic bullet to all your skin care needs. It is not only a system of skin care preparations that work together that matters, but the synergies and collaborative ingredients that form a product.
Benedetta’s Anti-Aging and Anti-wrinkle Seaweed Mask is unique in composition and is suited for most all skin *conditions. Rich in trace minerals, B vitamins and Amino acids, our Seaweed Mask clarifies, detoxes, as it rejuvenates. Part of its unique rejuvenation, when left on for 50+ minutes, is found in the synthesis of collagen and fibronectin fibers which increase skin firmness.
*If you have a medical skin condition or are allergic or sensitive to iodine, please consult your physician before using.

As part of the Ombra Del Sole Series, the Repair Mask is developed to correct and rejuvenate stressed skin from the likes of the sun, pollution, chemical cosmetics, and prescription drugs. Benedetta’s Repair Mask is the first line of defense to exfoliate dead cells allowing for new healthy cells to emerge and stimulate our own natural immunity, for creating stronger healthier skin.
Our Repair Mask aids the skin’s correction of atmospheric damage as it soothes and nourishes. The synergy of 100% Botanical ingredients, each certified organic, is not just clean but profoundly effective in removing upper layers of dead skin cells as it enhances the renewal of collagen and elastin through deeper level stimulation.
Due to the exfoliating properties of this mask, we do reccomend using the Hydrating Elixir Neroli right after to help soothe and hydrate the skin.

Mask Powder: 1.7oz | 50g
Activator: 2.7oz | 80ml
Caution: Not intended for those with extreme sensitivities.
Mix approximately 1 scoop Repair Mask Activator to 1-1.5 scoops Repair Mask. After cleansing with Rosemary & Geranium Crème Cleanser, apply to face, neck and chest. Let dry for 20-40 minutes. Splash face with cool water to rehydrate before removing. Use rolling technique to remove for extra exfoliation. Prior to applying Crystal Radiance of choice, splash face with cool water once more. For dry, sensitive skin, apply a thin layer of Rosemary & Geranium or Anti-Inflammatory Cleanser may be applied before Mask.
Using our Crystal Radiance Hydrating Elixir Neroli after the Repair Mask is the most hydrating and soothing for your skin after this treatment.
The Repair Mask was created out of a need for extra exfoliation and correction before and after the skin becomes damaged. Initially I created a Pomegranate Exfoliant for Estheticians to use in treatments. This preparation was offered to their clients in need of a secondary procedure that had the ability to slough off more dead cells and have immediate results.
When I decided to come out with the Ombra Del Sole Series, it seemed appropriate to include this process and blend it with two kinds of Pomegranate powders and many more new materials, to enhance and include extra nutrients.
As a preventative and corrective preparation this formula has a more aggressive approach to exfoliation using ingredients [below] that breakdown dry skin cells and aid cellular renewal turnover rate; something that slows down with aging and increased damage. The Repair Mask & Activator penetrates deeper into layers of the dermis and once dried can stimulate collagen by shocking the cells into new production.
The powders in this mask have a reputation for treating sun damaged skin and addressing issues like age spots, acne scars, discoloration and elasticity- all associated with aging and atmospheric assault. They include:
The Repair Mask Activator is filled with waters and extracts rich in nutrients like linolenic acid and Vitamin C, both reputed for collagen synthesis. Once the Repair Mask Powder is blended into a homogenous cream and applied to the skin, it’s best to wait at least 20-30 minutes before rolling it off. Leaving it on longer will allow it to stimulate deeper into the epidermis, often causing a mild pulsating feeling. It’s recommended to start with less time for those with sensitivities.
The true activation takes place once the product is removed. Wet hands to make sure you have “slightly” rehydrated, still leaving the mask somewhat dry. Using the OMR -Open Mouth Resistant Technique, roll with pads of fingers in a circular fashion until all the mask is off. Use a very wet washcloth or splash with cold water the remaining mask off until your face is clear.
Should you do this procedure at night we recommend using the Ombra Del Sole Nighttime Repair Serum, followed by Crystal Radiance Hydrating Elixir, in particular Neroli if your skin is red or sensitive after treatment.

Our 100% botanical Sacred Soap is rich with Certified Fair Trade Shea Butter and West African Black Soap. This creamy, non-drying formula body wash uses plant-realized soaping agents, requiring no need for synthetic, chemical lye.
Our globally and locally produced Farm-Sourced® hydrosols and essential oils give this delicately aromatic soap a fresh scent, making it a delight to use often.
As with the entire Benedetta line, Sacred Soap is crafted in small batches with loving intention. Great for those with dry hands and safe for babies and children.
Day: Shake gently before use. Separation occurs naturally. Use daily on hands and body for an exceptional washing experience.
I have never been a fan of sodium laurel sulfates or any of the derivatives of chemically produced soap. When in search for a direct source of Shea Butter, produced in west Africa, I found in so doing that black soap kept coming up. Once finding a reputable, fair trade company, they sent me a pound of black soap. They said that it was approximately 48% shea butter and the saponifier was that of a palm oil and plantain ash variety. I thought I’d give it try. Wow, not bad but a little gritty and definitely dirty. This soap, like shea butter is handmade by women’s cooperatives, usually in crude outdoor areas. In the earlier years I would find shea butter shells, twigs and rocks mixed inside. I would double sometimes triple strain the material to purify it.
The Sacred Soap is intended to cleanse without stripping the skin’s delicate balance as it leaves you refreshed.
Using both local and far harvested botanicals made into hydrosols, along with the right amount of essential oils, the Sacred Soap offers the perfect balance of cleanse and moisture.
I do not formulate for aroma, but for effect, however, as often happens we get many users addicted to the smell, many convinced it has ginger in it, which it does not.
It’s a thinner soap, as we do not use emulsifiers to bind it, I believe this is one of the purest soaps on the market and that uses NO lye!

I have spent many hours in the ocean, waiting for waves, or just walking along the shore feeling the sand, seaweed, and water beneath my feet. The ocean has a revitalizing effect on us without question. Taking up 70% of our planet, we have a symbiotic cord with all that it has to offer.
Hot springs have their own therapeutic qualities through mineral absorption and heat. I have visited many and find their cleansing, detoxifying ability invaluable.
Comprising a bath that possessed all the elements of both these therapies and natural wonders was the end goal in the development of the Seaweed Bath. I wanted an alternative to what was being offered. As a long time user of seaweeds, and with knowledge of their curative and restorative effects on radiation, the development of a bath to harness such properties was imminent.
As an aromatherapist, I wanted to assist the continuation of therapeutic release with an essential oil blend-- Not just any essential oil blend, but one that would rival any “scented” bath salt by using a therapeutic dose.
The Benedetta Seaweed Bath was developed and launched in 2000. Comprised of two therapies, dosed separately.
1. Micronized Sea Vegetables - Composed of several seaweeds.
2. Organic & Biodynamic Essential Oil Blend.
This incredible, rejuvenating preparation is a must in every bathroom. This Life-Changing Seaweed Bath is invaluable during cold and flu season to ward off, or shorten the duration of, illness. Aches and pains are diminished, and balance is restored with consistent use. Taken in hot water weekly or daily to rejuvenate.

It helps protect hands against contaminants without isopropyl alcohol, isopropyl myristate, parabens, propylene glycol and fragrances, and others linked to lowering immunity and inviting germ growth. Benedetta’s Clearing Spray dries on contact and, with no messy gel, will not dry out your hands.
Safe and effective for children. Our highly concentrated formula gives you approximately 150 applications per bottle
How to refill:

1-2 sprays on one palm and rub both hands together.
External use only. Do not inhale. Keep out of eyes.
Benedetta’s formulator Julia Faller, created the Clearing Spray more than 20 years ago about the time when our global society became aware of SARS and other deadly communicable diseases. Our culture changed with the applied daily frequency of hand sanitizers.
The intent was to create an alternative to traditional Hand Purifiers with Isopropyl Myristate and other petro-chemicals.
This “clean” alternative does not strip the hands of beneficial flora nor does it introduce harmful chemicals into the bloodstream.
The Clearing Spray will not dry out the hands but will instead support immunity.

The “Best” Deodorant Original is a clean and natural preparation that really works! Our deodorant is fully plant-realized with constituents that target odor-causing bacteria safely. While not an antiperspirant, it counteracts the bacteria that causes excessive sweating. This deodorant is primarily composed of a locally sourced organic and biodynamic blend of grape alcohol.
Our deodorant spray dries quickly, leaving only the enlivening botanical aroma of the active ingredients. It is a very concentrated formula, with no water or fillers added.
Did you know The "Best" Deodorant Original also makes a great foot deodorizer? Spray it in shoes or on feet to quickly remove odor.
*Full size lasts a single person about 4-6 months!
Day: Spray 1-2 sprays under each armpit once a day. Usage can depend on preference.
Keep out of eyes. Avoid use after shaving. For external use only.
The Best Deodorant was created in 2002 out of a need for a chemical free preparation that holistically targeted underarm odor. I was particularly interested in a clean formula that would not interfere with glandular elimination. it seemed illogical from a holistic standpoint that we adulterate such a vulnerable area with toxic products that are introduced directly into our bloodstream.
At the time, there were reports out of Marin County, California that women in the area were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer at a rate 40% higher than the national average[1].There was also compelling research that detected parabens in human breast tumors[2]. Some years later, more research linked aluminum salts to estrogen disruption and breast cancer[3].
My mission, as always, is to look at the body and how it works, what it absorbs and it's functioning principles. The deodorant needed to allow the eliminatory area to breathe, while introducing agents that would diffuse the odor-carrying bacteria. Although not an antiperspirant, i did address glandular sweat by using botanical with constituents that address this issue, gently and holistically.
Today, as more personal care companies shift away from toxic preservatives, and the European Commission plans to restrict Butyl and Propylparabens from cosmetics[4], I am proud to have a product that has assisted women's health for over a decade.
It is my great joy and accomplishment to offer you a product that really works. Made directly by our hand and hearts, 100% of the ingredients in our "Best" Deodorant are certified organic and biodynamic.

A treat for your scalp and hair. This Hair Tonic is an amazing therapeutic blend of Farm-Sourced botanicals that help to exfoliate the scalp. The Hair Tonic can also protect and nourish the hair, improving the appearance of hair shine.
1.7oz | 50ml
Day: Fill applicator with hair tonic. Slowly squeeze oil on scalp while making even parts through hair, so the entire scalp is covered. Brush or comb hair so that the ends are coated with tonic. Wrap in towel or cap for 20-30 minutes, wipe away drips down forehead and neck. Wash hair thoroughly to remove oil.
For a therapeutic treatment, use the Hair Tonic while in the Seaweed Bath after applying Seaweed Mask.
Note: If hard to squeeze solution into applicator, run under hot water until emulsified.
The Hair Tonic came out of need for a product that would exfoliate the scalp and rebalance hair. Not seeing anything in the marketplace, I made one for myself and loved the results.
The Benedetta Hair Tonic is designed to exfoliate the scalp gently without harsh chemicals or essential oils that could easily irritate. My intention was to create a blend of oils that stimulated blood flow. Our customers have reported new hair growth as a result of this circulation.
In addition to exfoliating the scalp, I added 100% certified organic oils used for centuries in asian cultures with amazing results. Take, for instance, cold pressed virgin coconut oil, palm kernel oil, neem oil, and foraha or tamanu (the name is dependent on where it is grown, either Madagascar or Tahiti). These oils coat and nourish the hair, repairing damage as they tonify the scalp.

Our Anti-Wrinkle Mask will make your skin feel beautiful, smooth and firm. The mask is comprised of several sustainably harvested seaweeds in a micronized fine powder and an aromatic biodynamic and organic lavender hydrosol.
The life-changing Seaweed Bath is an incredible cleansing experience that will leave your body relaxed and rejuvenated. Includes a micronized seaweed powder and a therapeutic dose of our essential oil blend.
The 3 step Benedetta Home Spa treatment:
1. Massage in Rosemary & Geranium Créme Cleanser.
2. Apply Seaweed Mask for a minimum of 20 minutes.
3. Luxuriate in Seaweed Bath for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Seaweed Mask: Mix Seaweed Powder with Lavender Hydrosol to a creamy consistency and apply with brush or fingertips. Suggested measurements: Mix 3/4 scoop of Seaweed Powder to approximately 1 scoop Lavender Hydrosol.
We recommend first massaging in Rosemary & Geranium Créme Cleanser to leave on under mask for blemished skin.
Seaweed Bath: Fill bath with HOT (100-104 degree) water, and disperse 2 heaping shells of Seaweed Powder. Near the end of filling tub, add 1 scoop essential oil blend. End of filling tub, add 1 scoop of the essential oil blend. Soak a minimum of 20 minutes & drink 12 oz purified water for therapeutic results! Caution: Do not use during pregnancy. Not for those sensitive to iodine.
After launching the Benedetta line in February 1996, with exactly 9 authentic preparations, a facial mask was not among them.
We slowly integrated into selling to estheticians and they were the ones that requested that we create a clay mask of sorts. I initially felt that our Rosemary & Geranium Cleanser was all anyone needed to achieve many of the attributes one expected from a clay mask. In fact, there is some clay in that cleanser. Leaving the cleanser on for 20 minutes while massaging congested areas is very exfoliating.
I felt that clay was far to stripping for the skin and would be counterproductive in bringing the skin into balance. I resisted until I was given a pound of some sea veggies that had been micronized (made into flour). Not complete, I added some others, along with Blue green algae, and voila, a Non-Clay Anti-Aging Facial Mask was born. Made fresh with Lavender Hydrosol, you can customize the viscosity to suit your skin.
I am not one to follow trends and run wild with one ingredient as the magic bullet to all your skin care needs. It is not only a system of skin care preparations that work together that matters, but the synergies and collaborative ingredients that form a product.
Benedetta’s Anti-Aging and Anti-wrinkle Seaweed Mask is unique in composition and is suited for most all skin *conditions. Rich in trace minerals, B vitamins and Amino acids, our Seaweed Mask clarifies, detoxes, as it rejuvenates. Part of its unique rejuvenation, when left on for 50+ minutes, is found in the synthesis of collagen and fibronectin fibers which increase skin firmness.
*If you have a medical skin condition or are allergic or sensitive to iodine, please consult your physician before using.

For many years I was asked to create a body lotion. As a formulator, I look for the right ingredients for the preparation to couple with improving a physical disposition or skin disorder.
It wasn’t until one of my farmers in California sent me 5 gallons of Lemon Cypress hydrosol with a note saying,” I hope you can use this”, did I decide to create a body lotion using this beautiful botanical water.
A body lotion to improve circulation was the intention and the ingredients just fell into place. A synergy using nourishing botanicals that would rid the skin of dryness, as it aided circulation was created.
The Vibrant Body Lotion was born and launched in the San Francisco Ferry Building to amazing reviews. Still our best-seller, it possesses a unique fragrance coming from the fresh array of raw ingredients that uplift the senses as it works magic on the skin.
Our customers, young and old, all have outstanding reports suggesting increased circulation as well as improvement to skin disorders like eczema, psoriasis, and various other types of contact dermatitis.**
After 4 years of success with the Vibrant Lotion, we launched the addition of two more lotions, the Lavender Body Lotion and Neroli Body Lotion, both having similar reports of success.
Our Lavender is an authentic aroma grown and processed by a California biodynamic farm. The Neroli is biodynamically sourced from Egypt and is processed slowly, omitting a delicate floral aroma. Both are calming and soothing to the skin, with the Neroli being more effective for the drier skin conditions.

Using no adulterates or fragrances to mimic the rose scent, the delicate yet intoxicating aroma is the direct result of the Rosa Damascena in nature, taking 2,000 petals to produce 1oz of exquisite regenerative oil.
Each of our Body Crèmes is expertly formulated with African Shea Butter harvested and handcrafted by a women’s cooperative, following traditional ancient practices. Our luscious crème soaks into the skin and truly rejuvenates with moisture that lasts! Lavender Crème helps to reduce scaring and is known for being immune strengthening.

I created the Rose Crème largely for the same reason I create many products, out of need for a clean and purposeful product in an industry full of adulterated and false ones. Now, even in the so called “plant based” era, there are still far too many fluff Rose Lotions with no viable useful synergies. I saw a need for an authentic, highly energetic Rose Crème and humbly present one to you.
All that aside, I personally love Rose for its ability to bring us into a balanced state of wellbeing. When I worked clinically as an esthetician, prior to formulating the Benedetta line, I performed customized aromatherapeutic treatments for my clients’ skin’s health care. Often, after hearing about sadness, stress and overall tension, I would do a simple drop of Rose oil with a couple drops of jojoba on their solar plexus at the center of their chest and massage gently to release those emotions that were often stuck.
Rose as many of you know is a botanical requiring [literally] a ton of petals to produce 1 single ounce of essential oil. The evolution of the rose is such that it gives of itself before its ready for picking, making it difficult to get any aromatic at all and taking thousands of petals to get a drop… how selfless. It comes as no surprise that Certified Organic Rose has the highest measurable electromagnetic field, ranging from 300-500mhz, as compared to Lavender at approximately 118mhz, and the human body at 65-70mhz.
The high vibration of the inimitable Rose aligned with our human condition appears to create a symbiotic resonance that is unequaled in the botanical world. Possibly with the exception of Helichrysum italicum, but that’s a subject of another blog entirely.
This queen of all essential oils is reputed for its regenerative properties on aging skin. Rose is beloved for its pronounced recognizable aromatic, which energetically opens your [emotional] heart, giving feelings of wellbeing and balance.
Benedetta’s Rose Crème is representative of how “True Rose” should smell- don’t be fooled by copycats. I make a very concentrated Rose Crème using high percentages of our farmer’s Certified Organic and Biodynamic Rose oil, Rose wax, and Rose Hydrosol [water].
The complimentary botanicals address the systemic correction and protection of the skin as well, with a cohesive unification that marries all ingredients together to make one singular preparation. No fillers of any kind are used, no fragrances, no solvents, just the purest most viable Rosa damascena, grown, harvested, and slow-rate hand-distilled. Our Rose Crème is made with intent and designed to be effective on all levels- physical, emotional and energetic.
Benedetta’s Rose Crème is designed to be used on the chest, arms, and hands with specific intention to renew the skin and prevent further damage. The Rose Duo: Rose Hydrosol before Rose Crème, aids better water integration, using less Crème and attaining greater results. Together our concentrated Rose Crème will last you several months.
