About this episode
Let’s Chat From the fertile lands of Sicily, we bring you a captivating tale. What began as a promise to a grandmother, Agatha Luczo and her husband embarked on a journey that led to the birth of an 800 acre organic farm, La Furtuna Estate, and a transformative skincare brand, Furtuna Skin. Venture with us as we uncover the secrets of their regenerative farming process, the resilience of Mediterranean plants, and the luxurious blend of wild organic beet and chicory extracts that make their skincare products truly distinctive. Ever wondered about the magic of extinct plants? Agatha revives this enchantment with the creation of a distinctive herbarium that includes the previously extinct Bianca Leela Chantanada cultivar. The Furtuna Skin products, reminiscent of a herbarium in a bottle, nourish your skin with a concoction of organic extra virgin olive oil, olive leaf water, and wild kusa zura - the rare blue flower bursting with antioxidants. As Agatha puts it, their products are akin to "Botox in a bottle", providing essential nourishment and protection against environmental and free radical damage. The episode also sheds light on the stark differences between US and EU beauty standards, a significant aspect of the clean beauty movement. The conversation culminates with an exploration of the Furtuna Skin philosophy. More than a skincare brand, Furtuna Skin is a testament to the commitment of a couple who are dedicated to honoring their grandmother's legacy and giving back to the earth. Their product line is an embodiment of this ethos, with their Mediterranean-inspired day and night creams, miscellaneous water, and oil, working in harmony with the body's natural circadian rhythm. These products, crafted from plant-based ingredients resilient to harsh conditions, protect, nourish, and restore balance to the skin. So, come join us on this extraordinary journey into the heart of Sicily and discover the secrets behind the luxury skincare philosophy of Furtuna. Support the Show.
