The consumers ask manufacturers the guarantees, the efficacy of cosmetics that (by law) can not boast therapeutic activities. Claims state the main qualities of the formulation (moisturizer, anti age, sebum regulator …). These statements can not be traced back to the use of active ingredients, but to the evaluation of the effectiveness of cosmetics in its overall formulation, due to the withdrawal from trade and heavy sanctions.
Veritable Clinical Trials conducted under close medical supervision on an appropriate number of volunteers should be carried out and then statistical results should be interpreted. Only competent and adequately trained personnel can successfully use the technologies required for this validation.
The validation process of the claim ends with a report that is delivered to the producer. Only then the functional value of the cosmetic can be writed on the label and indicated by the body certifying it.
In order to proceed to this specific validation there is a need for a recruitment facility, expensive quantitative analysis technologies (corneometers, sebumeters, pH gauges, ultrasound instruments, colorimeters, photometers for hair analysis …), specific professional competence and a large number of volunteers.

Why can essential oils extracted from the same type of plant be very different from each other? there are several explanations for this question: the first cause is the cultivar of the plant being cultivated and the second the terroir understood as the typicality of the soil and the microclimate on which the plant grows. Other factors are decisive: the type of distiller in use and the conduct of the distillation process.
Among the choices of the agricultural producer, some depend on him and others do not: the climate and the typology of the soil are not variables on which control can be exercised, otherwise he can select different varieties of the same kind of plant leaving the trend schemes present in the market.
In general, the structure of the steam distillation plant is defined at the time of its construction, but each of the extraction systems in the large Casalvento distillery is designed to take on different configurations and adapt to different types of processes. The use of sensors and the computerized management of the distillation parameters guarantees the optimal production conduct of our essential oils, hydrolates and Hyper Hydro.
Our theoretical starting point is recognizable in our practical arrival point: molecular thermodynamics.
Extracting from plants their most secret soul, the best bouquet and the greatest possible richness in active ingredients: this is a new alchemical art. After a correct phase of maceration, the botanicals are separated from the infusion liquid, then we proceed to the concentration of the extract at low temperature. Absolutes and Concretes totally free of hexane, benzene and petroleum ether; in our production center we use non-toxic solvents of varying polarity and power to obtain precious vegetable extracts. Due to their exceptional solubility in alcohol, absolutes can be easily used by liqueur companies and master perfumers to enhance their precious creations with natural notes. Woods, musks, berries, leaves, roots and seeds after this extraction process become special ingredients. Contact our production laboratory for what you want and we will try to satisfy your requests by transforming our or your botanicals. Follow a more in-depth description in the general catalogue.

How does an Essence Absolute differ from an essential oil? The terms Essence absolute and Absolute are synonyms and indicate an extract obtained from a mother tincture from which the solvent has been recovered. The simple term of Essence means the essential oil present in the plant material before it is extracted in a stream of steam. But if the olfactory difference between the essential oil and the botany from which it comes is well known, why does this difference exist? Why doesn’t the essential oil have the exact same smell as the plant? Some chemical-physical theories of the separation of substances explain these differences. In the Casalvento Laboratories we have developed the theory and technology for the production of these special products. Concrete, Hydrolats Ex Absolutes and Absolutes Ex Hydrolats are still different aromatic ingredients and whose production is not within the reach of many laboratories.
Perfumery is deeply linked to liqueurs: taste, sight, smell and texture are a coherent and unique experience in a total sensory approach.
The dream of the perfumer is to give a taste to his perfume, that of the liqueurist is that the perfume accelerates the taste of his liqueur.
As in the past, we still want successful liquid herald amulets. We know, however that no real Elixir of youth or Aqua Mirabilis were ever produced by the alchemists: they separated the matter, purified the spirit from the phlegm, got fresh water from the sea water and therefore remained immortal in their tenacious dream of success.
Even today, as before, flowers grow on our hill and cosmetics and fragrances are produced. Here in Casalvento, among the ancient walls of Salingolpe, the Etruscans, in the Villanovian age, jealously kepts the sectrets of producing balms and perfumed ointments. The aromatarius ancient Rome shops used to sell the promise of youth enclosed in precious amps to the fascinating women of that period.

The raw materials in use in the third millennium were unthinkable in 1922 when aldehydes made Chanel No. 5 famous. In the following 100 years the use of natural materials decreased but the charm of a natural perfume can never fade and will always be a legend. The skin modifies the expression of each perfume; hydration and the microbiome make the perfume different on each of us. The perfume of the next generation will have to collaborate with the health of the skin and create a symbiosis with its bacteria, enhancing the animal notes of human skin.
Reduction of alcoholic agents and increase of active ingredients to improve the well-being of the dermis and obtain the perfect osmosis between the new molecular inventions, the natural ingredients and the skin.
