May be used as a spot treatment at night for blemishes that have not broken through the skin (such as fatty deposits and blackheads) and to help lighten age spots over time.

There is no need to use a separate toner as the cleansing and toning process is complete after use of this product.

OMR: This technique is used to inhibit stretching and pulling of the skin. This simple yet effective procedure should be practiced whenever applying product below the eyebrows.

Open mouth to a comfortable position while pressing lips over teeth. The wider the mouth is opened, the more resistance will be felt. Do not overdo this or open to a point of discomfort. Massage is done using firm, continuous pressure.

This authentic formula is based on my experience of creating customized aromatherapeutic treatments for my clients. The common protocol for the first stage of the facial treatment was the same for most. The goal was to stimulate circulation, move the lymph, and allow purification at deeper layers while moving waste through the skin and back into the blood stream. This relatively simple procedure using fatty oils and essentials — no soap or surface cleansers — now needed to be a relatively universal treatment. The challenge was to design a preparation that was capable of creating similar, if not better, results for home use, and get it stabilized in a bottle without a large percentage of petrochemicals and adulterants.

Taking 3 years to perfect, the Rosemary & Geranium Purifying/Massage-in Crème Cleanser is the foundation to the Benedetta Facial Regimen. Used by professional estheticians in the first and crucial step to performing the Benedetta Holistic Facial, sometimes massaged into the skin for as long as 40 minutes.

The Rosemary & Geranium Crème Cleanser has surpassed what I set out to accomplish in a cleanser. After more than 20 years in the marketplace, this remarkable, authentic preparation has far surpassed expectations.

Anti-Inflammatory Series
Massage-In Crème Cleanser • Crystal Radiance Hydrating Elixir • Precious & Nourishing Facial Oil

The Anti-Inflammatory Series was originally created for hyper-sensitive, auto-immune or atopic skin inflammations such as eczema, seborrhea dermatitis, psoriasis, and other reactionary skin conditions.

Over many years of creating active botanical preparations, we have encountered many that rash up at the mere smell of an essential oil. My daughter Taylor was the impetus of the Anti-Inflammatory Series, after a severe bout with impetigo caused by an infected mosquito bite at 12. Her legs would rash up if she sat on a friend’s lawn, using lip balm with essentials oils or makeup would instantly cause a reaction.

I myself have suffered with such auto-immune skin responses. My personal journey is one that does not prescribe to conventional wisdom when it comes to my health. Our skin is a visible indicator of other systemic issues, so once those are addressed, and a solution adhered to, the skin will heal. Diet, stress, and overall mindful lifestyle is key.

The standard recommendation of dermatologists is steroids and the elimination of perfumed products. Why not guide them holistically and prescribe an anti-inflammatory diet along with nutritional supplementation and lifestyle awareness, among other things?

Crisis Skin Only

It is because of the aforementioned, as well as each individual’s medical disposition, that we have changed our message of use. Because these types of auto-immune response skin conditions are becoming such an epidemic, we feel it is beyond our scope of care with simply a topical product. In other words, these conditions require systemic and holistic attention along with a lifestyle change.

In addition, almost everyone thinks they are sensitive. I disagree, the original line is conducive and corrective for the majority of people and can give greater attention to the skin’s purity, hydration, and overall health than the anti-inflammatory is able to.

Here are the categories and some of the key dispositions for using the Anti-Inflammatory Series and why everyone should have it on hand:

• Sunburn • Windburn • Laser or other facial rejuvenation with redness and inflammation • Inflamed Rosacea • Micro-needling • Inflamed acne • Hot inflamed skin • Hives • After microdermabrasion or caustic peels • Alternate with Rosemary & Geranium Crème Cleanser [if R&G is too strong for daily use]

Aloe Vera Aloe barbadensis • Neroli Citrus aurantium Hydrosol Aqua • Plant Oils: Coconut Cocos nucifera, Jojoba Simmondsia chinensis, Avocado Persea americana, Red Palm Elaeis guineensis, Foraha Calophyllum inophyllum, Olive Squalane Olea europaea • Red Marine Algae Chondrus Crispus • Co2 Extracts: Amaranth Amaranthus caudatus, Rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis • Vitamin E Tocopherol [Sunflower-Source] • Vegetable Glycerin Glycerin • Coconut Sodium cocoate • Grape Vitis vinifera Alcohol • Vegetable Cellulose • Proprietary Blend Essential Oils

After cleansing with Rosemary & Geranium Créme Cleanser, apply 1/2 pump of "The" Eye Crème to middle and index fingers. Pat around boney ridge of eyes from inside corner above eyes to inside corner below eyes. Use daily as a preventative. Avoid getting product directly in eyes.

If your eye area has a yellow tinge after using "The" Eye Crème, apply less. A little goes a long way!

"The" Eye Crème was not part of the original 9 Benedetta preparations launched February 1, 1996. I felt the key need for eye crémes were to prevent and rid the skin of fine wrinkles. With that in mind, I saw no reason to cause further expense to my clients and customers when the existing regimen addressed this need.

However, the demand piqued my interest and I started my own research asking the questions: 1. What is the primary reason people want an eye crème? 2. What don’t they want?

It was no surprise to hear wrinkle reduction was the primary reason and the secondary was dark circles and puffiness. I was surprised, however, to find that many felt they could not use most eye creams due to the irritating oil content of the product, as most are wax or oil based. I set out to first develop an essential oil blend that moved stagnation without stripping the delicate eye area. As with all of Benedetta botanical preparations, no one ingredient stands alone without a synergy to support it.

The next steps were to complete the synergy with bioavailable non-oily plant materials that addressed the issues discussed along with protection and long lasting correction. It took about 2 years before completion, as one of the raw materials had to be developed. Once in place, I launched with confidence that this non-oily, highly active, antioxidant rich formula would be a success. I am proud to offer this authentic handcrafted, small batched "The" Eye Crème. Developed for the delicate eye area, this exquisite preparation is designed to work holistically to rejuvenate, correct, and protect, leaving no oily residue or drag on the skin.

Hydrosols Aqua: Rose Rosa damascena, Immortelle Helichrysum italicum • Aloe Vera Aloe barbadensis • Plant Oils: Jojoba Simmondsia chinensis, Pumpkin Seed Cucurbita pepo convarietas citrullinina, Borage Borago officinalis • Vitamin E Tocopherol [Sunflower-Source] • Co2 Extracts: Rosehips Rosa canina, Carrot Daucus carota, Sea Buckthorn Hippophae rhamnoides, Rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis, Schizandra Schisandra sphenanthera • Green Tea Camellia sinensis • Amalaki Phyllanthus emblica • Alfalfa Medicago sativa • Grape Vitis vinifera Alcohol • Rose Rosa damascena Wax, Cassia Cassia angustifolia Wax • Proprietary Blend Essential Oils • Vegetable Cellulose

Apply 4-6 drops Antioxidant Facial Oil immediately after spraying with Crystal Radiance Hydrating Elixir. Massage into the skin evenly with fingertips.

If the oil becomes solid, run the bottle under hot water to liquefy.

Customers tell us a 0.5 oz bottle lasts 4-6 months, depending on usage.

The Precious & Nourishing Antioxidant Facial Oils: Palmarosa and Geranium, were developed to address environmental harm associated with depleted, unhealthy skin and aging.

Antioxidants have long been reputed to fight free radical damage, with regards to targeting cell oxidation. It was therefore my inclination to create a formula that focused on protection through delivering nutrients further into the dermis of the skin to address free radical elimination.

With this in mind the quest was to find nutrients in the botanical world that have antioxidant protection and anti-oxidizing effects often caused by the atmosphere, including but not limited to UVA and UVB rays.

Protection then is described as something that assists the skin’s ability to receive and utilize nutrients that further its longevity and survival level, as opposed to conventional protection, meaning to a cover the skin with a mineral or chemical block. Such products blanket the skin with a barrier to keep the sunrays from penetrating and are commonly known as a Sun Protection Factor.

Instead, the Precious & Nourishing Antioxidant Oils deliver a synergy of botanical nutrients that enhances our immunity and skin strength to combat degradation at the cellular wall. Otherwise, we are only preventing burning and not considering what lies beneath.

Evidence has shown that these chemicals can be dehydrating to the skin’s early and rapid aging process, hence contributing to the breakdown of the skin’s longevity, strength and endurance. All of which are renewed with specifically formulated nutrient-rich synergies, with the addition of bioavailable antioxidants.

It is important to note that although we do not incorporate SPFs, evidence has shown that with the use of our Precious & Nourishing Oils, the sun is less able to burn the skin and cause redness. This is due in part to their natural antioxidant filtering effect.

For prolonged outdoor exposure use our Defense & Repair Elixir, Defense & Repair Oil and Defense & Repair Crème from the Ombra Del Sole Series of Benedetta preparations.

The Visibly Radiant Moisturizers were developed to be loaded with antioxidants that make it a powerful product fighting against free radical damage. it utilizes the locked in hydration, along with lipid or oil protection, to keep the skin moisturized and youthful.

This is not your ordinary moisturizer. Back some 25 years ago, and even now, most moisturizers were created with a predominance of water, usually an inert and deionized, along with a chemical polymer or resin to engulf and thicken, leaving the viable ingredients questionable.

The aim of Benedetta's Visible Radiant Moisturizer was to enliven, nourish, and incorporate healthy hydration and antioxidant protection for the skin. Along with non-chemical or pharmaceutical ingredients, less than viable raw materials, my anti-aging factors are extracts produced in-house to assure and protect the upmost quality and effects.

Day: Apply frequently throughout the day to affected area.

The Control Crème was inspired by the use of straight essential oils applied directly on the skin to curb sebum production and the bacteria that lives in that environment, often causing acne.

In the essential oil or aromatherapy world most aspiring aromatherapists are taught that the strong essential oils, like oregano, savory, thyme, and the like, are the ones that will target the bacteria. Though effective to some measure, they are hot and could cause irritation to the skin and mucous membrane. Even applying near the eyes could cause a reaction.

I wanted an alternative to conventional chemicals like Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, and Retin-A to rid the skin of minor to severe blemishes. These popular OTC remedies for blemishes, although providing temporary relief, dry out the skin and often create more of a sebaceous gland issue by producing more sebum. This, in turn, stimulates more bacterial growth, ultimately giving way to the endless cycle.

The holistic view of regeneration and balance became the goal for renewed skin tissue. 

Not too hot · Not too mild · But just right

The combination of supportive cellular activity with sebum control allows the aggressive, antibacterial, and antiviral properties of the formula to take root and become evident. The Control Crème is the best synergistic daily application to control oil and blemishes, holistically diminishing further breakouts.

Day: First exfoliate with Dry Brush, then shower with our Citrus Sugar & Salt Exfoliant and Sacred Soap. Spray first with one of our Hydrosols, and apply crème all over body. A little goes a long way. 

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.

**None of these statements have been clinically proven nor do they suggest a cure or treatment to any disease or disorder.

Body Crème: Hydrosols Aqua: Rosemary Verbenone Rosmarinus officinalis verbenone, Lemon Cypress Cupressus macrocarpa, Geranium Pelargonium graveolensroseum • Aloe Vera Aloe barbadensis • Shea Butter Butyrospermum parkii • Plant Oils: Jojoba Simmondsia chinensis, Coconut Cocos nucifera, Macadamia Macadamia integrifolia • Co2 Extracts: Sea Buckthorn Hippophae rhamnoides, Carrot Daucus carota, Rosemary Rosmarinus Officinalis • Vitamin E Tocopherol [Sunflower-Source] • Proprietary Blend Essential Oils • Grape Vitis vinifera Alcohol • Vegetable Cellulose

Hydrosol: Hydrosol Aqua: Lemon Cypress Cupressus macrocarpa, Rosemary Verbenone Rosmarinus officinalis verbenone, Neroli Citrus aurantium

Saturate with Defense & Repair Elixir, then apply Defense & Repair Crème. Defense & Repair Crème may be used alone for moderate sun exposure, and is an excellent After-Sun care preparation to sooth and quickly regenerate burned, overexposed skin, and sun damaged skin. May be used under mineral make-ups and sun blocks to systemically protect the skins delicate balance.

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.
