Our products are formulated using organic plant extracts cultivated in Tuscany and other carefully selected quality local ingredients from biodynamic organic agriculture, combining care for organic standards with farming techniques that respect the soil, following and upholding its natural processes. We know the origins of our organic ingredients, how and with how much passion they are cultivated by our suppliers, and thus the story they have to tell…

Our products contain up to 99% naturally-sourced ingredients. The percentage of naturally-sourced ingredients is indicated on each cosmetic and calculated according to the International Guideline ISO16128, which sets out quantitative criteria and calculation methods which must be adhered to in order to determine the index of natural content for each cosmetic ingredient.

Our products are obtained by respecting the list of substances selected and approved by the principal ecological and organic regulators and therefore DO NOT contain PEG, petroleum jelly, silicones, parabens, SLS, SLES, acrylic polymers, colourants of synthetic origin or alcohol. Furthermore, they are formulated without the use of OGMs, by using ingredients certified as being from organic and biodynamic agriculture.

The safety of our products is guaranteed by dermatological tests conducted by Universities and independent analysis and research Institutes. They also undergo nickel testing, and some are also tested for chrome and cobalt, to safeguard consumers from every possible allergy and intolerance.

The vast majority of our cosmetics do not contain ingredients derived from animals or products generated by them. A few cosmetics may contain honey or bee-glue; in such cases these are products supplied by apiarists who do not exploit bees, but work in symbiosis with them, ensuring that they are sustainable and safeguarding their lives.

Biofficina Toscana has always been committed to the health and well-being of animals. We do not test either products or ingredients on animals, conforming to EC Regulation no. 1223/2009, which forbids the introduction onto the market of cosmetic products containing ingredients which have been tested on animals, and all experimentation on animals within the European Community for finished cosmetics or their ingredients. Furthermore, we do not purchase any ingredients from countries in which animal testing is legal, nor do we sell products in such countries.

Our products are rigorously and proudly Made in Italy. We might almost say made in Tuscany, as in fact our manufacturing laboratories are mainly situated in Tuscany and certainly in Italy; our organic ingredients are sourced from Tuscan producers whom we partner by upholding the excellence of the region and its organic/biodynamic agriculture.

The environment is our world and sustainability is our prime concern! “Sustainability” for us is an objective that we have set ourselves from the beginning, a commitment constantly evolving in line with our growth. We respect and care about the environment in every single process: from our manufacturing system without chemical solvents according to the principals of “green chemistry”, to the pursuit of “0-km” locally-sourced products made using local organic ingredients, to our particular attention to packaging, and to our packing even of information material using FSC-certified paper. Biofficina Toscana also respects and cares for the environment thanks to targeted initiatives, such as its participation in the Treedom campaign for the planting of trees and its partnership with Ogyre in the project “From the Ocean, for the Ocean” to clean up the seas and to recover plastics for the conservation of the marine eco-system.
