FARM

THE LAND

On the sunny Mediterranean island of Sicily, nestled between the towering mountains of Monte Barraù and Monte Castro, sits a lush, vibrant land where the herbs, flowers, waters, and earth have remarkable powers. This luxuriant botanical wonderland is called La Furtuna Farm, a family-owned, organic, and sustainable farm that holds a treasure trove of more than 12,000 olive trees (some of which are from 300 to over 1,000 years old), 500-plus unique plants (10% of which are medicinal wild herbs), and archeological remains from 2000 B.C. Here, the pure spring waters flow through the mountain slopes, nourishing the organic farmland with a reservoir of nutrients. Diverse soil compositions of clay, limestone, and sandstone imbue the plants with a unique mineral complexity. The land has been untouched for more than 400 years, so the plants that grow here are exceptionally rich in nutrition. As guardians of this breathtaking, biodiverse natural kingdom, we distill the life force of our plants into efficacious products for men, women, and children.

THE PLANTS

Steve and Agatha Luczo rediscovered this amazing land, regaining ownership of a family property that had been lost generations ago. Under their visionary stewardship, a world-renowned botanist was brought on to oversee the farm and unlock the secret powers of its plants. He discovered why these plants have been able to withstand the test of time and survive the extreme conditions that have affected Sicily for centuries. Grown on fertile, lush soil that has been untouched for 400 years, fed by mineral spring waters, and strengthened by their own plant communities, these botanicals are optimized for performance. Over time, they evolved into Extremophyte plants, wildly potent botanicals that thrive where others cannot. We harvest these plants in diverse communities to honor the natural ecosystem. With the help of our botanist, we are able to understand the secret language of our plants and tap into their powers for skin. We learned that plants work as a team, forming synergies and sharing strategies to protect and support one another. They function best as part of a diverse community, so we make sure to grow and harvest them collectively.

THE HISTORY

La Furtuna Farm holds thousands of years of history and heritage, shaped by a fusion of cultures — from Phoenicians and Greeks to Spaniards and Romans. Our first archaeological project was made possible by La Furtuna Foundation and led by a team of Italian archeologists. They discovered traces of human occupation dating to the Bronze Age (1800-1200 B.C.) and artifacts from the Copper Age (around 2500 B.C.). They also found remains of a settlement with buildings from Antiquity (500-300 B.C.) to the Early Middle Ages (700-1100 A.D.). We will continue to explore the hidden treasures of our land in hopes of discovering even older remains and remain committed to donating all findings to the Italian people.

THE CONSERVATION

Seventy percent of our farm falls within the Monti Sicani Biological Preserve, which is part of the Natura 2000 Network spanning central western Sicily. A strictly protected haven for rare, threatened, and valuable species, it is a resting and breeding place for a myriad of different plants, birds (including cliff-dwelling falcons), and other wildlife. This expansive bioreserve is designed to preserve Sicily’s biological history, ensuring the survival of its uniquely diverse flora and fauna. It conserves the genetic diversity of over 500 flora, 10% of which are medicinal herbs that flourish in our fields — and all of which are sustainably farmed.

La Furtuna has established an herbarium collection on the Farm to conserve local wild species and ancient heirloom varietals. To document their color, form, and DNA heritage, plant specimens are carefully dried, mounted on sheets, and categorized for scientific study. Heirloom seeds are saved and archived to pass on to future generations. Vulnerable species such as the rare Helichrysum rupestre are maintained to preserve Sicily’s genetic diversity. Through other conservation techniques, disappearing species such as the Biancolilla centinara olive tree have been revitalized and now thrive on our farm.

PROCESSES

Chrononutrition

Beloved by nutritionists, holistic specialists, and biochemists alike, Chrononutrition strategically times the delivery of the right nutrients, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants at the perfect time. Skin has a synchronized 24 hour biological clock that is constantly disrupted by stress, busy lifestyle, poor nutrition, and exposure to daily aggressors. When nutrient delivery is coordinated with the body’s natural circadian clock, regenerative functions of the skin are amplified.

Optimal Nutrients + Natural Rhythms = Transformed Skin

Enfleurage

The precious lilacs in our eye cream are hand-foraged by lilac expert Charle-Pan on her six-acre Cherry Valley Lilac Farm in the Adirondacks, the world’s only supply of lilac enfleurage oil. The oil is extracted through the rare, ancient artisan process of enfleurage, which Charle-Pan, an environmental chemist, revived and modernized into a sustainable technique of utmost efficacy. Enfleurage yields the oil at its fullest potency, in its purest, most authentic natural form with a robust plant stem cell concentration, whereas conventional methods can diminish the power of lilac. Extremely labor- and time-intensive, this highly technical method uses cold-processing with fat to effectively capture the phytocompounds and skin-renewing properties of lilac and absorb the full scent profile of its fresh exhaling flowers. Lilacs have a short bloom time and only flower in spring. Each day of a 33-day cycle, handpicked lilac blossoms are replaced with fresh blossoms. During harvest week, Charle-Pan picks 30 to 40 of the most potent flowers by hand just to make 16 ounces. She uses about 16 bushels of flowers to create a half ounce of lilac enfleurage oil. 

Exclusive Bioactive

Bioactives have the power to transform skin on a profound level. All of our products contain bioactives from our wildly potent ingredients. Some are so rare to the industry that they’re found only in our skincare. Our Exclusive Bioactives are ethically sourced, unique natural ingredients that drive results. A bioactive is considered exclusive to Furtuna Skin by virtue of one of these qualities: its debut in skincare; its limited availability and our exclusive access to it; or its unparalleled Extremophyte potency that can’t be reproduced.

Extremophyte

Extremophyte plants are “survivalist” botanicals that overcame harsh and extreme environmental conditions — such as severe winds, heat, snow, volcanic eruptions, and droughts — and became stronger in the process. Through natural adaptation, they evolved into wildly potent Extremophyte plants, boasting superpowers and supercharged nutrients. With our innovative methods, we are able to harness their nutritional powers.

Soundbath Extraction Method

To make our formulas, we use our efficient yet gentle Soundbath® Extraction Method to capture the bioactives inside our botanicals — solving the age-old problem of providing consistency and potency of our formulas. This advanced process protects key ingredients from over processing and eliminates the need for harsh solvents. It utilizes t sound energy and low temperatures to preserve the full potency of the nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, phenols, and aromatic compounds contained inside the ingredients. The resulting Soundbath® infusion is packed with concentrations of bioactives, resulting in more efficacious products.

Sourced with Respect

We source in a sustainable way that respects the natural ecosystem and protects biodiversity. We take only what we need — just enough so that the plants can continue to flourish. We never use endangered species or deplete natural resources. We never damage the environment or leave a trace.

Wild-Foraged

Wild-foraging is the ancient practice of gathering plants in their natural habitat. The botanicals grow wild on their own, unassisted by man, untainted by chemicals, fortified solely by nature. Left to fend for themselves, they build resilience and strength. Many can’t be cultivated and some, like the Anchusa azurea flower, are so rare, they’re exclusive to our skincare. In harmony with nature, we seasonally forage these Extremophyte plants in their natural communities because this enables them to produce intense concentrations of nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. Many times more powerful than their cultivated counterparts, our wild botanicals boast some of the highest nutrient and antioxidant levels and yield potent bioactives for our products. Thanks to our private expansive natural landscape, we have access to a breathtaking cornucopia of wild-foraged plants with specific skincare benefits and rich medicinal histories. Because of the unmatched diversity of our wild botanicals and the vastness of our estate, we are able to offer wild ingredients on a much larger scale than other skincare companies.

Organic

Our organic plant ingredients come from a pristine farmland unadulterated by chemicals, untouched for more than 400 years. Our ingredients have been grown with no pesticides used within 100 miles. Our clean, safe formulas are COSMOS organic-certified and made to the highest standards of purity.

Plant Communities

Many plant communities within our farm are rare and specific to the estate. Taking the rhythms of nature into account, influenced by the Earth — soil, weather, sun, moon, and stars — our plant communities contain a collection of species that coexist due to their characteristics and environmental requirements. We harvest these plants in diverse communities to honor the natural ecosystem. Grown on fertile, lush soil that has been untouched for 400 years and fed by mineral spring waters, these communities work as a team, forming synergies and sharing strategies to protect and support one another for optimal potency and performance.

Heirloom Botanicals

All of the cultivated plants on our estate are considered “heirlooms.” Their flowers are nurtured through open pollination and the seeds passed down through multiple generations. Considered to be of superior nutritional quality, these heritage Extremophyte plants are some of nature’s most powerful and colorful varieties, loaded with phytonutrients and antioxidants. La Furtuna cultivates heirloom plants exclusively to preserve their unique genetic legacy and to protect Sicily’s biodiversity for future generations.

Interlocking Delivery System

To ensure that skin gets complete, balanced nutrition, we created an interlocking approach that reunites oil and water components through science and skincare rituals. Our interlocking delivery system allows these transformative products to work in synergy to provide a full scope of whole-plant nutrition.

For our innovative Eye Revitalizing Complex, we sustainably foraged seven potent medicinal flowers known to be natural remedies for lines and wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles -- key concerns of the eye zone.
