Terra Italica: the Artisan Soapery of Abruzzo that respects the skin microbiota

In the heart of the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga Park, Terra Italica was born, an artisanal reality that is revolutionizing the concept of natural cosmetics through soaps, oils, and creams made with spontaneous plants from the Abruzzo territory.

A Name that Tells a Story

Terra Italica is born from the love for Abruzzo and its roots, inspired by the ancient Italic peoples who minted the first coin with the inscription "Italia". A name that represents the defense of the territory, enhancement of local resources, and respect for tradition combined with cutting-edge scientific knowledge.

Marilena and Lamberto: Biology and Chemistry at the Service of the Skin

Since 2012, Marilena (biologist) and Lamberto (chemical-microbiological researcher) have been working together in their Navelli laboratory to perfect the ancient art of soap making. In 2019, they transformed a post-earthquake emergency structure into a delightful artisanal atelier, a choice consistent with their philosophy: recover, enhance, give new life.

What distinguishes Terra Italica is the scientific approach to formulation: every product is born from the application of chemical and microbiological knowledge to cosmetic plants, with particular attention to respect for the skin microbiota – the ecosystem of beneficial microorganisms living on our skin.

From Gran Sasso to Your Skin

Medicinal plants are harvested according to nature's rhythms in the Gran Sasso Park: St. John's Wort, Helichrysum, Calendula, Rosehip, Echinacea, Centella, and many other species with extraordinary cosmetic properties. The main base is extra virgin olive oil, a symbol of Mediterranean tradition, enriched with selected botanical extracts.
