Insula Natural Body Care — Products [ENG]

WWW.INSULABODYCARE.COM

This is the story of an island: written on rocks and trees, on an extremely tough, and kind, land. A place where nature found its home, and, through the centuries, passed on its secrets down to us, teaching who lives on it to respect it.

It so happened that, in one of the many summer excursions in the Supramonte, we gathered amongst friends, herbalists and lovers of medicinal plants, to observe the flowering of Helichrysum. And this is where Insula was born, a natural body-care product line holding the wisdom of traditional medicine and answering to the needs of an ever-changing world. A homage to this harsh, strong, generous and comforting land, custodian of ancient times.

The important anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties of helycrisum have been known since antiquity, when this plant was the main ingredient of infusions, herbal teas and oils used as remedies for aliments of different types.

We have formulated this soap with glycerin among its primary ingredients for the extraction of water-soluble substances, infused oils for the lipids and essential oil for ether fraction. The flavonoids extracted from the flowering tops of the helichrysum italicum have important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; the quercetin contrasts allergic reactions and skin conditions such as psoriasis. In fact this flower has an effect similar to cortisone and for this reason is capable of reducing inflammation and modifying immune responses.

From the helichrysum of Sardinia we extract the entire phyto complex composed of active ingredients, which with their synergic action impart the properties of the small yellow flower with its unmistakable warm and woody scent.
