Acqua di Rose - Micellar Water

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella offers an exquisite addition to their Acqua di Rose skincare line—a Micellar Water that refreshes while effectively cleansing the pores and purifying the face and eyes.

This formulation blends the clarifying and toning qualities of distilled Damask rose with mild, plant-based surfactants, resulting in an elegant product suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

Apply Micellar Water by gently massaging onto skin using circular movements, then rinsing thoroughly with warm water to reveal a purified, glowing and revived complexion.

ABOUT SANTA MARIA NOVELLA

Established in 1221 in Florence, the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella originates from the Dominican friars who founded the Santa Maria Novella convent and cultivated a remarkable garden.

This marked the beginning of their expertise in pharmacopoeia and natural preparations. Over time, this knowledge expanded to encompass cosmetics, fragrances, and wellness products, making Santa Maria Novella a renowned name in these realms. 

In 1533, a young Catherine de Medici embarked on her journey to marry the future king of France, accompanied by a retinue that included a perfumer named Renato Bianco. Renato, later known as René le Florentin, brought the ancient wisdom of Florence's essence-makers to Paris, spreading the noble art of perfume throughout the world. Acqua di Santa Maria Novella, also known as Acqua della Regina or the "Queen's Water," is the oldest fragrance from the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, paying homage to the love-filled gift that Caterina bestowed upon France.
