In Dalmatia, herbal macerates have traditionally been made by infusing medicinal plants in olive oil. We reinterpret this practice using pharmaceutical-grade mineral oil—odorless, non-oxidizing, and highly stable—to preserve delicate botanical specimens and extract oil-soluble active compounds. The result is a collectible piece with potential skin-soothing and healing properties, as each local plant offers unique benefits for the body and skin.
Botanical Samples / Macerates
In the rugged hills of this region,
generations of local communities
practiced herbal medicine,
developing an intimate
understanding of botanical
properties. They knew the optimal time to
harvest lavender for its peak fragrance, selected
myrtle to preserve its tenderness, and dried rosemary to
retain its essential qualities. This knowledge, unwritten, was transmitted through practice, embedded in daily life as a fundamental necessity.
​​​​
We perpetuate this legacy through rigorous
scientific application. Our botanical samples
are therapeutic formulations, specifically
herbal macerates crafted with precision.
These preparations utilize medicinal plants
native to the Dalmatian region, infused in
a blend of pharmaceutical-grade mineral oils.
Each formulation encapsulates nature’s diverse benefits for skin health, harmonizing traditional wisdom with contemporary methodologies.
Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum) – Anti-Aging Elixir
Immortelle excels in cellular regeneration, visibly reducing scars, stretch marks, and fine lines. With potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, it helps maintain firm, youthful-looking skin while protecting against environmental stress.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) – Nature’s Universal Healer
A gentle healer for sensitive or damaged skin, lavender macerate calms sunburn, eczema, and irritation. Its regenerative properties support healing of minor wounds, while its aroma and antioxidants promote overall skin harmony.
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) – Skin Energizer
Rosemary macerate stimulates circulation and revitalizes dull, congested skin. Its toning effect helps restore vitality and firmness, while antioxidants defend against early signs of aging—perfect for oily or lackluster skin in need of renewal.
Marjoram (Origanum majorana) – The Harmonizer
Ideal for sensitive or dry skin, marjoram macerate soothes irritation and reduces redness. Its subtle antiseptic properties support skin balance, while the mineral oil base deeply nourishes and protects delicate complexions.
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) – Herbal Shield
This macerate offers powerful antibacterial and antifungal action, making it a strong ally for acne-prone or problematic skin. It helps clear breakouts and prevent infection, though it should be used with care on sensitive areas.
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) – Skin Cleanser
Rich in antiseptic and anti-inflammatory compounds, thyme macerate effectively clears congested skin and minor infections. It promotes clarity and strengthens the skin's natural defenses, especially beneficial for acne or reactive skin.
Savory (Satureja montana) – Natural Defender
Savory macerate provides a strong protective barrier through its antibacterial and antiseptic qualities. It purifies blemish-prone skin, while antioxidants strengthen resilience, making it suitable for oily, imbalanced skin types.

Fennel macerate gently soothes irritation and supports an even, healthy skin tone. With mild antiseptic and antioxidant action, it helps protect the skin from external stress while offering subtle hydration for sensitive or dull skin.
Sage (Salvia officinalis) – Pore Refiner
Sage macerate acts as a natural astringent, tightening pores and regulating excess sebum. It refreshes and purifies the skin, making it especially beneficial for oily or acne-prone complexions needing balance and clarity.
