"Their triple-milled soaps, which fit snugly into the hand, are a joy, and come in boxes that are little works of art."
Transport your senses to the heart of Sicily with Ortigia’s range of luxurious bath and body products, fine fragrance, candles and shaving preparations – each using natural and traditional ingredients that are indigenous to Italy’s most tropical region.
Founded in 2006, Ortigia is the creation of Sue Townsend (founder of Crabtree & Evelyn) and a Sicilian countess, Ilaria Balduino Sartori. The two have fashioned a modern company with a very traditional ethos - every aspect, from colour and natural ingredients to fragrance and aesthetics embodies the historic charm of Sicily with a unique modern twist.
The base of each formula is completely natural, using ingredients that are native to the island of Sicily, including Blood Oranges, Olives, Almonds, Palm Oil, Limes, Lemons, Cactus, Eucalyptus, Vines, Grapefruit Trees, Saffron and Pistachios that all thrive in the island’s rich volcanic soil.
Ideal as gifts or to indulge with in your own home, Ortigia bath, body, fragrance and home products are artisanal gems quickly becoming firm favourites amongst lovers of supreme quality and natural ingredients.
