Ancient beauty secrets revealed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The secret to Italian beauty<\/strong> is latte di asina, donkey milk<\/strong>.  Yep, you\u2019ve read it correctly: Donkey milk.   \u201cIt nourishes, strengthens and stimulates<\/strong>,\u201d wrote Greek historian Herodotus<\/strong>, 5th century BC.  The Ancient Romans loved it even more. Infamous beauty Cleopatra<\/strong>, and empresses Poppea and Messalina bathed in it to preserve their youth, perhaps taking a hint from Pliny the Elder\u2019s tome Natural History<\/a> where 1st century Roman philosopher wrote that the donkey milk \u201cmakes face wrinkles disappear, smooths the skin<\/strong> and maintains the skin whiteness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From nonni remedies to 21st century wellness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Federica Zavaglia was captivated by antiquity\u2019s clever beauty regimes<\/strong> and mixed it up with a little bit of 21st century science<\/strong> and some nonna know how to create Terre dei Papi<\/a><\/strong>, an organic luxury beauty cream and treatment lin<\/strong>e based on the extraordinary power of 100% Italian Donkey Milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was researching a marketing project for University of Windsor\u2019s bio department and discovered that donkey milk is a supercharge for the immune system. It contains lactic acid, it\u2019s a natural antiseptic and it\u2019s the milk closest to mother\u2019s milk,\u201d Zavaglia tells us. And the rest is her story\u2026  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it- it wasn\u2019t too much of a stretch. The Italo-Canadese was long familiar with donkeys, afterall she was raised in the Lazio countryside of Castel Gandolfo, before moving to Canada.   Every summer was spent in Italy with her nonni who imparted homeopathic remedies<\/strong> at every opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>Terre dei Papi is anatural and authentic cosmetic line that is absolutely Italian.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cMy nonna\u2019s answer for anything is \u201cDon\u2019t worry nonna will take care of it\u201d followed by a natural remedy. And here, they really believe in natural medicines<\/strong> because they really work. In fact, Italy has always been about man working with nature\u201d, she explains.  That mentality, plus donkey milk and locally foraged plants<\/strong> are the main ingredients in all Terre dei Papi\u2019s products which include Lomentum<\/strong><\/a><\/em> butter<\/a><\/strong> or what Zavaglia describes as \u201cwhipped goodness to put anywhere and everywhere\u201d, Balneum <\/em>bath milk<\/a><\/strong> aka Cleopatra\u2019s bath, and Luminus<\/em> face cream<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
