Beauty Essentials to Bring Along for a More Enjoyable Summer
Pistachio Body OilAfter Sun Exposure: The Italian natural skincare brand Irene Forte Skincare, founded by Francesca Ferri, introduces a delightful pistachio oil with antioxidant, anti-aging, and reparative properties. Its formula, centered around a powerful active ingredient with multiple benefits, phytomelatonin (or Alpine vegetable melatonin), protects against the harmful effects of UV rays and external aggressions, and contributes to skin cell regeneration. Additionally, a blend of oils rich in omega-3 (pistachio, olive, and grape seed) deeply hydrates the skin. It regains suppleness and vitality. An ideal night care product to stimulate epidermal renewal after prolonged sun exposure.

PISTACHIO FACE OILGo nuts for Irene Forte’s Pistachio Face Oil. Not only is it packed full of omega richness from its namesake nut but it’s also a powerhouse of phytomelatonin: a key ingredient focus at Irene Forte, this plant version of human melatonin – which is extracted from Italian alpine plants – seriously helps to rejuvenate and boost skin renewal and works as a powerful antioxidant too. It also absorbs quickly. A brilliant all-rounder for face care.

SKIN IN FASHION
THE MYOXINOL™ TRIO"Her [Irene’s] products, based on ingredients cultivated on the Sicilian family farm, are formulated, as she likes to point out, to be the best Mediterranean skin diet. On the menu, the best of “nutraceuticals”: pomegranates, almonds, oranges, lemons, pistachios... whose richness in vitamins, fatty acids and antioxidants is widely recognised. But the recipe is intended to be more elaborate. If the natural extracts are the starting ingredients, the extremely effective formulations, are based on the work of a solid in-house scientific team. Thus, hibiscus seeds were designed to create Myoxinol™, a patented active ingredient whose botox-like effect on deep wrinkles is more than convincing for mature skin."

Best Wrinkle Creams to Plump Fine Lines
MYOXINOL™Myoxinol, a bio-peptide extracted from hibiscus seeds, is the reason why the Italian-made Irene Forte Prickly Pear Face Cream works so well for wrinkles. The ingredient works in a similar manner as injectables by targeting deep-set forehead wrinkles and expression lines that pop up as we age. Plus, it contains hyaluronic acid, which Dr. Oyetakin says "temporarily fills in the spaces between collagen and elastin fibers, giving the appearance of smooth skin," and vitamin E for a stronger barrier, and subsequently, less moisture loss.

THE NATURAL ROUTE TO ANTI-AGEING ALCHEMY
"What is special about the Mediterranean lifestyle is that it's all about high quality ingredients and freshness. It’s not about a faddy diet or a quick fix, it’s something that promotes longevity,” she explains. “I think in a very similar way about skincare, in that I don’t believe in ingredients that are particularly harsh, or that are going to completely change the pH of your skin.” Irene’s approach towards beauty is holistic, and she considers a healthy lifestyle an essential part of any skincare routine.

IRENE FORTE OF IRENE FORTE SKINCARE ON THE POWER OF CLEAN COSMETICS, HOW SHE PRIORITIZES SELF-CARE, AND THE ADVENT OF THE “NEW NATURAL”
Dr Ferri has run a number of studies illustrating that the effectiveness of many natural active ingredients actually diminishes when it goes beyond a certain percentage in a formula. So, we believe in putting the precise amount to deliver the most effective benefits while avoiding harmful side effects, and don’t believe in putting in a higher percentage just for marketing purposes. We advocate the concept of psico-cosmesi, meaning that what we put on our skin benefits us emotionally and thus physically. The organoleptic properties of a product are vital to achieve this. - Irene Forte

THE BEST SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY BRANDS – AS CHOSEN BY A SUPER-FACIALIST
PHYTOMELATONIN REJUVENATING SERUMSeveral certifications and initiatives are emerging in an effort to build sustainability frameworks. I really rate B-Corp certification, which verifies the brands that meet the highest standards of top-to-toe social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability — in other words the sustainable practices stretch across not just products and production lines, but also company policies and practices. Eponymous Italian skincare brand Irene Forte is one such company — organic produce is matched by refillable bottles, recyclable jars (made from 31 per cent post-industrial recyclable material), and 100 percent recycled fibre boxes.
