Some products aren't designed to follow trends, but to address the real needs of skin and hair. Farmacia delle Terme's formulations are rooted in an ancient tradition, built on expertise, research, and targeted preparations, where each ingredient plays a specific role.
Pharmaceutical tradition and customized formulations: the products of the Terme Pharmacy
La Spa Pharmacy, formerly Farmacia Lorenzini Costa, was founded at the end of the eighteenth century, in an era in which the figure of the apothecary was central to health care. After the first inspection visit of Luigi galvani, who at the time worked as a chief physician, the pharmacy became a point of reference for the preparation of Galenic remedies and personalized formulations.
Located in the town's main square, along the path leading to the ancient spa, the pharmacy has survived the centuries, keeping the art of apothecary alive, updating it with the most modern laboratory techniques.
Today, in his laboratories, they take shape Galenic drugs, phytotherapeutic preparations, Bach flowers and functional cosmetics, formulated according to original recipes developed by Dr. Lapi.
The products I'm telling you about today perfectly reflect this philosophy: a few select ingredients, clean formulations, and tangible results.
Silk Shampoo
€9,00 – 200 ml
An extremely delicate shampoo, designed to cleanse without stressing the hair fiber. The formulation is free from SLES and aggressive preservatives, a fundamental detail for those who wash their hair often or have sensitive skin.
The washing base is composed of delicate surfactants, enriched with silk hydrolyzate and vegetable amino acids, two key ingredients to improve hair quality wash after wash.
In contact with water it develops a soft and not excessive foam, a sign of respectful cleansing.
After rinsing, the hair looks:
- softer to the touch
- visibly brighter
- light, not heavy
It is a shampoo that does not “strip” the hair, but accompanies it in a gentle cleansing, making it ideal for frequent washing.
Calendula Moisturizing Milk
€12,00 – 150 ml
This body milk is a real treat for dry, sensitive or easily irritated skin. Calendula, known for its soothing properties, is accompanied by a nourishing blend of:
- Wheat germ oil
- Sweet almond oil
- Squalane
The calming effect is immediate, making it perfect as a treatment too after sun or after the shower, when the skin tends to feel tight.
Although the texture is fluid, the product is richer than a classic moisturizing milk: once applied, the sensation on the skin is reminiscent of a nourishing cream, but without being heavy or occlusive.
The skin immediately appears softer, more elastic and protected.
How to make the most of them: practical and unexpected advice
Silk Shampoo: ideal for times of hair stress
It is perfect when your hair is put to the test by:
- season changes
- frequent washing
- use of hair dryers and straighteners
When used in alternation with a more treating shampoo, it helps maintain the hair fiber in balance without overloading it.
Calendula Milk: Not Just for the Body
Try it also:
- su particularly dry areas like elbows and knees
- after hair removal, to calm redness and sensitivity
- as an evening treatment in the colder months, when the skin loses comfort more easily
Applied to skin that is still slightly damp, it further improves its ability to retain moisture.
Conclusion
The products of the Terme Pharmacy tell a story of cosmetics sober, competent and functional, far from excesses and close to the real needs of skin and hair.
The Silk Shampoo is a precious ally for those seeking uncompromising delicacy and brightness, while the Calendula Milk proves to be a complete treatment to soothe, nourish and protect sensitive skin.
Essential yet intelligent formulations that demonstrate how true effectiveness often comes from the balance between tradition and dermatological knowledge.
