The roots of this Cleansing Milk are deep in tradition

Cleansing milk is one of humanity's oldest cosmetic preparations: Cleopatra, wife of the Ptolemies and queen of Egypt,'s "milk bath" is one of history's most celebrated beauty rituals—the queen immersed herself in tubs of donkey's milk and honey every morning to keep her skin "as white as ivory." In Renaissance European courts, noble ladies prepared "beauty milks" made from sheep's milk, sweet almonds, and fresh flowers for their morning cleansing. Melissa officinalis, this product's signature ingredient, has been celebrated since ancient Greece: its name derives from the Greek "melissa"—bee—because bees are particularly attracted to it. Avicenna, an 11th-century Arab physician, raved about its calming effect on the nervous system, while medieval European monks cultivated it in their "simple gardens" to prepare the Discalced Carmelites' "Melissa Water," a remedy for anxiety and palpitations that has survived to this day. Venere rice, for its part, is an ancient variety of Italian black rice, cultivated in the 1990s in the rice fields of Vercelli, rich in anthocyanins and natural antioxidants. Saponaria combines these expertise in an elegant, contemporary cosmetic milk.
 
 
 

Choosing Melissa Cleansing Milk means taking care of yourself

Melissa Cleansing Milk is the most gentle skincare choice for those with sensitive, reactive, intolerant, or rosacea-prone skin. Its formula, free of harsh surfactants (even the plant-based surfactants found in other cleansers can be irritating to some particularly delicate skin types), fully respects the skin's natural hydrolipidic film, preventing a tight, dry post-cleansing effect. Melissa Officinalis is scientifically proven for its soothing, calming, and anti-inflammatory properties: it contains rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, and flavonoids that work on irritated, red, and rosacea-prone skin. Hyaluronic acid retains up to 1000 times its weight in water, keeping skin hydrated even during cleansing. Venere Rice provides anthocyanins (red-blue antioxidant pigments) and gamma-oryzanol—a powerful natural protector against UV rays and skin aging. Calendula soothes and heals thanks to its calendulosides. A smart choice for those who choose gentle cleansing as a cornerstone of their skincare routine.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Melissa Cleansing Milk

• DAILY MORNING AND EVENING CLEANSING — Apply a small amount of makeup remover milk to your fingers or a reusable cotton pad (preferable to the disposable version to reduce environmental impact) and gently massage your face using circular motions. The milk will absorb makeup, sebum, and impurities without damaging the skin barrier. Remove with a dry cotton pad or, if you prefer, a pad slightly dampened with warm water or toner. Complete your routine with Organic Anti-aging Protective Face Cream to nourish and protect cleansed skin.
• SOOTHING REMEDY FOR SENSITIVE SKIN, ROSACEA AND COUPEROSE —The formula based on Melissa, Hyaluronic Acid, and Calendula makes this milk a truly gentle dermocosmetic treatment, ideal for skin with couperose, dermatitis, rosacea, eczema, or particularly reactive skin. To enhance the soothing effect, store it in the refrigerator for a decongestant and cooling action on inflamed skin. Complete your routine with Organic Aloe Gel as a final soothing treatment, and with a Organic Red Clay Solid Face Mask weekly for gentle purification.
• SMART ALTERNATION IN YOUR MAKE-UP REMOVAL ROUTINE — For those looking for a complete and personalized make-up removal routine, the Melissa Make-up Removing Milk is the choice for the morning and “no make-up” days, while for the evening with complete make-up you can alternate with more powerful tools such as the Concentrated Organic Cleansing Butter or theOrganic Cleansing Gel Oil for waterproof makeup. For complete anti-aging skincare, integrate the Anti-aging Fabric Mask weekly and Reusable Eye Patches for the eye contour. La Saponaria's most complete and flexible skincare routine.
