We have the candles and soaps…I love the packaging.
Ortigia was the name given by the Greeks to the island south of the city of Syracuse. Situated on the eastern coast of the island, it is in the area of Sicily known as ‘La Sicilia Orientale’.
Because of its proximity to Africa, this region of Sicily has an almost tropical climate. This is the only area where blood oranges are grown; cactus, eucalyptus, lemon and grapefruit trees are also cultivated, while almonds, pistachios, saffron, vines and olives thrive in the rich volcanic soil.
The company Ortigia features a range inspired by this cultural wealth and natural beauty – all of the colours, scents and aesthetics are Sicilian, and all of the plants used to create the range are indigenous to Sicily. All of our products are made from natural and traditional ingredients, such as olive oil, palm oil, almond oil, lanolin, naturally distilled lavender and vegetable dyes.
Traditional products with a modern ethic.
