About us
We produce concentrated and effective organic cosmetics, with raw materials of our own production
Rugiada® Mediterranea is the cosmetic line of Terra Fertile Onlus, a non profit company.
It produces natural cosmetics that take care of the skin, guaranteeing beauty, health and harmony of the whole organism.
The peculiarity of the products is, in addition to the very high percentage of organic active ingredients, the fact that many of the ingredients are from a short supply chain, some extracted from plants grown, harvested and handcrafted by Terra Fertile.
All Rugiada products are made in the cosmetic workshop, a laboratory created by Terra Fertile Onlus in Vittorio Veneto (TV).
Authentic natural phytocosmetics
Phytocosmetics (for further information go to this blog article) uses plants by extracting active ingredients with cosmetic properties from them. According to our formulation philosophy, cosmetic effectiveness cannot ignore respect for health. Our production method ensures - in addition to compliance with all cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards - the activation of good actions for high sustainability.
Several of our products contain extracts made from organic medicinal plants grown, hand-picked and transformed by Terra Fertile.
Terra Fertile and its social impact
Terra Fertile acquired the natural cosmetic formulas of Rugiada Mediterranea Srl, a Milan-based company, in 2020.
Business, environmental impact and social design
The meeting of the excellent original formulations with the social design of the cooperative (non-profit company) has led to the birth of a reality that combines business, environmental sustainability and social innovation.
Terra Fertile, with the Officina Cosmetica project, has achieved a double goal:
- It involved disadvantaged and disabled people in a business project.
- It has created a supply chain for its own organic medicinal herbs
Awarded by the Chamber of Commerce
Rugiada® Mediterranea has received an important recognition from the Treviso-Belluno Chamber of Commerce.
The Terra Fertile project was awarded for Social Innovation.
Self-care as well-being and beauty
From the perspective of Rugiada and Terra Fertile, beauty care is no longer exclusively a self-care activity: it instead opens up to nourishing the well-being of an entire community. Cosmetic production based on these values, but also the choice to use them, activates real local development with a high social impact. Rugiada Mediterranea has thus combined the effectiveness of the formulas with the values of solidarity.
Using Rugiada cosmetics, you’ll become too part of a history end of a project and of a rare, powerful beauty.
