The Gli Officinali line, the latest precious creation by Nesti Dante of Florence, draws on their virtues in all six soaps, wrapped in paper with beautiful floral illustrations, enriched with an attractive and refined ribbon on the top and produced with an entirely artisanal process, as in the best Italian soapmaking tradition. The basic paste, in fact, is obtained through a slow and complex process, in special boilers, which lasts four days and requires the constant presence and meticulous manual supervision of soap and perfume experts. A process which does not alter in the slightest the essences, rich oils and functional substances of first quality in the formulations which do not contain any synthetic surfactants. What makes these soaps special? Each formulation combines a delicate and elegant fragrance with a functional substance extracted from a medicinal herbNESTI DANTE ITALIAN SOAPS are made with love and care by Nesti Dante in Florence, Italy. Pure vegetable natural soap with active and organic ingredients, proteins made with handcrafted method of saponification. Luxurious, handcrafted soaps inspired by the beautiful region of Florence - made with enchanting perfumes from the hills of Tuscany - beautifully packaged in elegant Florentine style paper. NESTI DANTE soaps (saponi) are prepared respecting the age-old tradition of the true Italian 'Saponeria' - the cauldron method. Nesti Dante remains one of only a few companies in the world that continue to use the handicraft method of saponification. Today, Nesti Dante is one of the few companies in the world which, although on an industrial scale, still produces soap with artisanal methods, carrying out the complete cycle of production. And it strictly follows the traditional process of boiling in a cauldron, which takes several days and the continual assistance, including manual, of master soapmakers and perfumers, who can monitor the various phases of the process (saponification, washing, liquidation, decantation and extraction from special vacuum driers). This recipe for success is completed by the exquisite refinement of the packaging with attention paid to even the tiniest detail and the use of selected raw materials of very high quality and without synthetic surfactants, which are responsible for allergies and irritation of the skin, hair and eyes. Over half-a-century of coherent commitment, still illuminated by the original objectives of excellence of its founder: �We will always work not to be the biggest, but to be the best.�
