Estamos em 1916, quando o barão italiano Carlo Magnani viaja pelos epicentros da cultura - Paris, Londres, Nova York. E este é o momento em que ele decide criar uma fragrância destinada ao sucesso atemporal: Colonia. Fresco e moderno, que reflete a expressão do estilo italiano dos cavalheiros.

Na década de 1950, Colonia alcançou sucesso internacional, quando os atores de Hollywood, convidados pela Itália pelos grandes mestres do cinema italiano, descobriram suas notas íntimas e refinadas nas históricas lojas de alfaiataria. Hoje, a Acqua di Parma é uma empresa líder no mercado de luxo, graças à produção de uma série de verdadeiras obras-primas do artesanato italiano tradicional.

Colonia. O sol italiano capturado no "frutti d’oro" - limão, laranja e bergamota - todos cuidadosamente escolhidos, escolhidos a dedo e destilados. Em seguida, vem um coração de notas aromáticas e harmoniosas, como lavanda, alecrim, verbena e rosa damasco, seguidas de vetiver amadeirado quente, sandália e patchouli.

Uma clareza sensual que desbloqueia memórias e torna cada momento intenso. O resultado é uma reivindicação de refinamento e estilo; uma fragrância simples assim é uma fragrância vitalícia.

Todos os produtos Acqua di Parma são fabricados na Itália por artesãos tradicionais, usando apenas materiais da mais alta qualidade, e são vendidos através de nossas próprias lojas e rede de parceiros de varejo selecionados.

Aqui, as tradições mais antigas do artesanato estão inscritas na modernidade através de detalhes sutis, como a escolha de materiais, fabricação cuidadosa e acabamento manual.

Acqua di Parma tem algumas convicções muito claras como marca. A simplicidade é essencial para a elegância, especialmente a elegância italiana. As coisas feitas lentamente e à mão desenvolvem uma alma e o imperfeito é a única forma verdadeira de perfeição.

Acima de tudo, Acqua di Parma comemora simplicidade, sinceridade e generosidade.

Soaps

How to Choose Your Solid Soap?

Every bottle of shower gel is destined to be thrown away when it's done. Most of these bottles are made of plastic. No need to draw, you understand, if you want to avoid bathroom waste, you shouldn't use shower gel or choose bulk buying. Today we're going to talk about solid soaps, those soap bars you find everywhere in markets, hotels, etc.

What are the important criteria for choosing a solid soap?

• Is your soap saponified when it's cold?
Basically, making soap is quite simple. Soap is a mixture of vegetable matter and caustic soda (nothing to do with soda crystals). In simple terms, vegetable matter and caustic soda come together to form two new materials: soap and glycerin. And, as in any good equation, if there's more vegetable/fatty matter, the soap will be "surgras" (extra fat), and if there's more caustic soda, the soap will be "caustic." This process is called cold saponification.
A soap saponified at cold (known as SAF) is a guarantee that the raw materials used have been preserved. They retain their properties.

• Is your soap "surgras"?
If you have sensitive or stretched skin, it's worth noting the % of excess fat in your soap. A "surgras" soap is ideal when it has excess fat from 3% to 8%. Furthermore, it's quite useless (except for the use of specific vegetable oils).
As explained above, a fatty soap is a soap composed of more vegetable oils and fats rather than caustic soda. So, it's nourishing for the skin.

• What oils and fats are used?
Is your soap made from vegetable oils and fats.
Many manufacturers produce soaps made from animal fat. Animal fat is cheaper than vegetable fat. But it does nothing for the skin.
The vegetable oils and fats used in soaps maintain the same properties as when you use them on the skin.
Here's a little recap, according to the vegetable oils used in the soaps offered in our online store:
• Coconut oil: nourishing and disinfectant
• Olive oil: antioxidant (prevents signs of aging)
• Shea butter: moisturizing and repairing
• Beeswax: prevents dehydration of the skin, forming a protective film
• Rapeseed oil: nourishing
• Sweet almond oil: ultra-nourishing
• Nigella oil: disinfectant and antibacterial

• Use the soap as an exfoliant
Some soap makers add powders to their soaps. SAF soaps turn into exfoliants. The powder gently scrapes the surface of the skin to remove impurities and dead skin. The skin becomes soft and flexible.
There are many ways to make an exfoliating soap. Note that, in large retailers, many products are made from plastic microbeads to provide that exfoliating touch. Which is completely unnecessary, as nature has given us everything we need.
• coffee grains
• lavender flowers
• nettle powder
• citrus peel powder

In addition to all these criteria, don't forget to take into account the fragrance, even if it's personalized, the use of solid soap should remain a moment of pleasure.

Body and bath products for men

Hygiene Products Every Man Should Have

Hygiene and beauty are no longer exclusive to women. Men have embraced self-care and advocate for the right to benefit from cosmetic products specially crafted for their skin and body. For those who care about their appearance, here are the key hygiene products every man should have.

Shower Gel

Now, it's possible to reveal your personality in the shower. Invigorating, soothing, relaxing, natural, fascinating... brands compete for innovations that appeal to "men." And it works! Men understand that the beauty of the skin begins with proper cleansing. They are easily won over by 2-in-1 products that rival those intended for women. Now, men also have the right to their exfoliating and moisturizing shower gel for "sensitive and special" skin.

Deodorant

To combat perspiration and unpleasant odors, the number one weapon is, of course, deodorant! If there's a hygiene product widely used by men, it's this. It's essential to maintain freshness and hygiene. Whether in roll-on or spray form, deodorants also receive meticulous care. The goal is to find an effective deodorant that doesn't dry out the skin and smells good.

Hydration

In addition to a healthy lifestyle, facial and body hydration are two essential conditions for radiant and healthy skin. Men have understood this and no longer hesitate to apply a moisturizer specially developed for the specificity of their skin. Cream, lotion, gel, balm, oil... Once again, brands offer an increasingly extensive range of moisturizers for men.

Daily Hygiene: Essential Products for Good Body Care

Personal hygiene is a crucial part of our daily routine, contributing significantly to our comfort and overall health. Unlike historical times when bathing was considered unsanitary, today, maintaining daily hygiene is a common practice. To cater to all your daily hygiene needs, explore our extensive selection of care products and accessories!

What is Personal Hygiene?

Personal hygiene encompasses daily actions such as handwashing, hair washing, body cleansing, and dental care. Whether it's a quick routine for those on-the-go or a relaxation ritual for others, maintaining good personal hygiene has become a habit. Complete personal hygiene includes:

• Body washing
• Hair washing
• Face washing
• Handwashing
• Teeth brushing
• Nail care

Each of these routines should be performed regularly based on the type of care and specific needs, considering factors like dermatological profile or hair type.

Why Practice Personal Hygiene?

Surprisingly, the importance of daily hygiene habits has historical roots. Over time, the proliferation of diseases has been directly linked to hygiene habits and access to water. Washing is crucial to:

• Prevent the spread of diseases
• Prevent inflammation and irritation by combating the proliferation of germs
• Combat body odor
• Enable the skin to defend against potential pathogens

How Often Should You Maintain Good Hygiene?

The frequency of washing hair, body, or face depends on skin condition, climate, and health. General guidelines include:

• Bathing: Once a day, for a maximum of 15 minutes. Water should not be too hot to avoid weakening the skin's hydrolipidic film.
• Hair washing: 1 to 4 times a week, depending on hair type.
• Face washing: Twice a day, in the morning and at night.
• Teeth brushing: 2 to 3 times a day, after the main meals.
• Nail cleaning: Daily, as soon as impurities accumulate.

These are general indications; adapt them to your needs!

The Best Daily Hygiene Products for Effective Cleansing

There are numerous products for body, skin, hair, and teeth. A variety of formulas cater to all skin types, hair types, and specific health needs. Choose from:

Gels, foaming cleansers, oils, or creams - the range of body products for bathing is extensive:

• Mild cleansing gel suitable for the face and body care of the entire family.
• Dry skin gel, for use in case of dry skin, to protect the natural hydrolipidic film of the epidermis.
• Bath oils, suitable for dry or atopic skin, with a soap-free formulation that cleans and protects naturally fragile skin.
• Bar soap, practical and easy to use, available in traditional or "soap-free" versions for dry skin.

Enhance hygiene with cleansing products and a good bubble bath. The bathing moment is a precious relaxation time for many people.

For enjoyable moments and to provide your skin with products tailored to its needs, choose:

• Bath foams with delightful fragrances that will give your bath a creamy texture and invite relaxation.
• Bath oils, designed to neutralize the drying action of limestone and give those with fragile skin (especially babies and those with atopic skin) the chance to enjoy a good bath without feeling their skin tighten.
• Fragrant and effervescent bath bombs that will envelop you in sparkling bubbles and leave your skin soft.
• Bath salts with many virtues, softening, remineralizing, or even relaxing for the joints.

Deodorants and Antiperspirants to Ward Off Body Odor

Body odor due to sweat fermentation on the skin can be particularly embarrassing and a source of social discomfort. Choose from spray, stick, roll-on, with or without aluminum, 100% natural, or with original fragrances:

• Deodorant: Odor-neutralizing and a beauty accessory, deodorant conceals body odors and reduces their intensity by limiting bacterial proliferation responsible for their production.
• Foot deodorant: Under exertion, our feet remain confined all day in closed shoes and face the humid environments of baths or pools. It happens that they become a source of unpleasant odors due to sweat maceration. Foot deodorants act by preventing perspiration emission and camouflaging it, just like traditional deodorants applied to the armpits. They are adapted to the specific environment of the feet and their thicker skin.
• Antiperspirant: While deodorant conceals, antiperspirant acts at the source by preventing sweat release and maintaining a dry environment where bacteria cannot proliferate.

Perfect Ears and Nose with Proper Care

Ears and the nose are often overlooked in our daily care! However, they are true gateways to our body. Special attention should be given to them by performing gentle yet effective interventions to remove impurities without attacking their fragile mucous membrane:

• For nose hygiene: Dry nose, stuffy nose due to a dust-rich environment. Take care of the cleanliness and health of your nose using a natural nasal spray, saline solution to unclog the nostrils, and why not, use tweezers to get rid of unsightly nose hairs.
• For ear hygiene: Our fragile pinnae protect themselves from attacks, especially through wax production. Useful in small quantities, accumulated wax can, however, be a source of irritation or even earwax plugs. To get rid of it, use a cotton swab at the entrance of the ear and dilute this unwanted "wax" with an ear spray.

Caring for the Skin on Your Hands

Hands are the main vectors of diseases; it's no wonder that handwashing is one of the first hygiene practices taught to children! Hands are our main tools in daily life, coming into contact with many objects: doorknobs, mobile phones, toilets, computer keyboards. So many germ nests, vectors of potential diseases!

After using the bathroom, before eating, but also after using public transport, make sure to wash your hands with due care. Both to protect yourself and to safeguard the health of vulnerable people around you!

Practical and intelligent daily hygiene products:

• Hand soap: In the form of bar soap or pump dispenser, hand soaps are available in all public places! In all textures (foam, oil, gel) and fragrances, they combine hygiene and sensory pleasure.
• Disinfectant gel: It's not always easy to have a sink and soap nearby! To ensure hand hygiene in all situations (especially in public transport or during an epidemic), make sure to keep a bottle of hydroalcoholic gel in your bag or desk drawer, which will eliminate a large portion of bacteria present on your hands and give you an intense feeling of freshness.
• Antiseptic wipes: Practical and easy to use, wipes moistened with antiseptic solution are your allies against germs. They allow you to quickly wash your hands and feet.

Products and accessories designed to facilitate your hygiene ritual are immense. Simplify your life!

Make your physical hygiene a true pleasure every day!

Essential for your health and comfort, good daily personal hygiene is fundamental to your well-being. Easy to set up and transformed into a true relaxation ritual thanks to the vast range of existing skin products, daily hygiene is now a source of comfort and pleasure. Choose the formulas and accessories that correspond to your desires and needs!
