REGENERATIVE BEAUTY MEDITERRANEA
The name Philosophia Botanica evokes the source of its ingredients as well as the purity and the natural specificities of its products.
We mindfully infuse adaptogenic herbs, powerful actives and botanical plants that grow wild under the warm Mediterranean sunshine.They are picked at the right moment in the Liguria Macchia Mediterranea, native home of our Founder and in the Western Cape. Extra care is taken to remove only a few plants, flowers, or branches, so plenty remains to continue the supply.
Welcome into our journey.
There is such a strong connection and synergy between the wilderness of the Mediterranean Maqui and the souther African Finbos regions.
At Philosophia Botanica we invite you to experience the essence of Liguria through our collection of locally grown botanicals. Nestled between the hills of Portofino and Nervi, the region boasts a variety of aromatic herbs and flowers, including roses, iris, sage, juniper, lemons and lavender to mention a few.
Discover the unique botanical herbs and fragrances of our region and immerse yourself in the wild beauty and natural diversity found in the area’s nature reserve, ‘Parco Naturale Regionale di Portofino.’
Our Ligurian botanical laboratory is opening soon! Stay tuned as we reveal our latest skin-food range rooted in the heart of the Portofino region, and the Macchia Mediterranea.
Portofino, un mondo a parte ...
