My house was part of the estate that King Desiderius gave to the Benedictine nuns, as hospitium of the Monastery of Santa Giulia. RE DESIDERIO SKINCARE is a response to that gift.
It is a tribute to the spiritual strength of a king. A message of love that crosses the history of my land to reach everyone's skin.
From the Monastery of Santa Giulia, in Brescia, I set off to embrace a journey through history to collect natural ingredients linked to King Desiderius and Longobard-era cultivation.
Each ingredient was selected and certified for its ability to make even the most sensitive skin healthy and beautiful. By combining craftsman-style production in small batches with ultra-modern technology, I have fulfilled a dream: creating a skincare line filled with the history of my land.
Your skin is a reflection of your lifestyle, the community you belong to, the history of the place you live in. And also of the skincare products you choose. Those who lead a beautiful life, have a beautiful skin. A healthy, nice-smelling skin, that doesn't need magic tricks. This is the kind of skin that Re Desiderio can help you have, by bringing out its natural beauty.
The marks on our face remind us of all the times we have loved, cried, laughed, fought. Instead of hiding wrinkles, we should tell the story of our skin as best we can. Some cosmetics cover our skin. Re Desiderio reveals it, telling all its natural beauty.
This is the first face and hair beauty routine to fulfil Re Desiderio's zero-kilometre philosophy: local active ingredients, environmentally friendly, resource-saving, zero-waste, and well-being at its best.
I wanted to get an idea out, onto the skin: to use only what is strictly necessary of the right product, without wasting water, while respecting your time, with just a few concentrated gestures. This is true luxury.
Apply Aquagemma to wet hair and body and massage it in evenly for a detox effect. A single dose releases the necessary amount of this formulation rich in cleansing and moisturising agents, optimizing the natural pH. Rinse and feel the active ingredients working without producing foam, leaving the skin breathing, and the hair soft and shiny. This cleanser is perfect even on very delicate and sensitive hair and skin.
While in the shower, turn off the water and apply Sericum to your hair and body. Wait 3 minutes to boost its effectiveness, then rinse it out to activate it. The hyper-concentrated, highly moisturising, detangling and volumising formula leaves the hair soft and silky, without weighing it down. The skin remains nourished and regenerated for a long time, and there is no need to use Sericum every day.
Just a little splash of spray on the face revitalises and prolongs skin elasticity in the face, neck and cleavage area. Now, imagine a cloud of well-being enveloping your face, leaving it radiant and intensely moisturised. Long-lasting effect (at least 48 hours) guaranteed!
Complete your beauty routine with Stellaprima, by applying it before bedtime. It regenerates, moisturises, plumps and redefines the facial contour, supporting the skin's natural cellular regeneration process. This cream is the ultimate pampering, the perfect ending to a ritual that repairs oxidation damage and restores nourishment and elasticity to the face, neck and cleavage. Well-being effect for at least 48 hours.
No distinction of gender, age or skin type. Re Desiderio is a skincare line created to bring well-being and vitality to everyone's skin. It is dedicated to people who want to know what they are putting on their skin, and consider craftsmanship and personalisation the true meaning of contemporary luxury. Each formula is dermatologically tested and certified to be suitable even for the most sensitive and demanding skin types.
Every plant, flower and fruit from which I have extracted the active ingredients used in Re Desiderio Skincare lines is not only scientifically effective on the skin, but is also a piece of history. Like oat, a typical cereal cultivated in the 7th century. Or chestnut trees, which characterise our landscape with their majestic beauty. Or rosehip, cultivated by the nuns in the rose garden of the Monastery of Santa Giulia. The linden tree, under which Princess Ermengarda loved to pray, and which still stands in the monastery cloister today. And grapes, which have always grown on the hills of Franciacorta.
It is impressive to see how the skin is reborn in contact with active ingredients from such ancient plants. As if he had always known them.
Of the 212 gems set in the Cross of Desiderius, we chose those with recognised effects on the skin, and incorporated them into our cosmetics. Rock crystal, as it stimulates natural collagen production, and can rejuvenate the skin. Amethyst, because it stimulates microcirculation, and can help to relieve blotchiness and redness. And gold, in colloidal form for its ability to brighten the skin and prevent ageing.
Rosehip floral distillate. An antioxidant with prodigious soothing and emollient properties. Ideal for restoring the skin pH balance, and calming sensitised skin.
Vitis Vinifera fruit extract. Polyphenols extracted from grapes are powerful antioxidants, thanks to their ability to accelerate cell renewal and stimulate a detox effect.
Oat extracted from seeds. Used in biofermentation, it has emollient and soothing properties on the skin tissue and supports the microbiome - that precious network of good bacteria that live above the skin surface and protect it from external aggression.
Linden flower extract. It has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. It can improve the skin by getting rid of impurities and pimples.
Protective action against external agents harmful to skin and hair. It repairs hair cuticles, moisturises and gives volume
Colloidal gold improves tissue oxygenation, slowing down ageing. It has a toning, energising and strongly illuminating effect.
It drains toxins and is a valuable ally of cell metabolism. It balances the natural hydrolipidic balance.
Rock crystal has a great illuminating power. It fortifies microcirculation, energises, and stimulates natural collagen production.
Our products are certified for sensitive skin types and as Nickel-free. By following the instructions printed on the back of our single doses, you can drastically reduce the amount of water required.
In addition to heavy metal and microbiologically tested certifications, even our paper is FSC certified.
Our lab production is strictly made in batches, in small quantities, to ensure that the formulations are always fresh. Our laboratory is accredited and relies on state-of-the-art technology. Certified phytotherapeutic, bio-fermented ingredients with colloidal and homoeopathic dosages are skilfully and carefully blended into the formulas.
Re Desiderio precious active ingredients are packed in sustainable and recyclable packaging.
Like the single-dose paper capsules that hold our face creams, so each dose arrives pure on the skin, without contamination. This choice protects the beauty of the environment, and also the treasures of our history, since part of the proceeds of each product will be donated to the restoration of the Cross of Desiderius, to give it back the beauty it gave us.
