Ethical Sourcing
Earth-friendly from the origin
At Seed to Skin we create highly effective, nutrient-rich skincare using only the purest botanicals and raw ingredients found in nature. Throughout our product line we incorporate herbs, honey and sheep’s milk directly from our certified organic farm at Borgo Santo Pietro in the heart of Tuscany. What we don’t grow ourselves we source from a highly selective group of environmentally conscious micro-producers and wild foragers on land and at sea. Healthy soil and clean water are non-negotiable, as they guarantee the superlative quality of Seed to Skin and represent the foundation of our brand integrity.
Soil Vitality
Healthy soil is rich in nutrients and host to a myriad of life forms which constitute the foundation of a thriving ecosystem. Proper care of the soil is thus the heart of our “nurture via nature” philosophy on our farm in Tuscany. To this end, we employ only organic farming methods which prohibit the use of synthetic or chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Ensuring our soil’s vitality has invaluable benefits: from safeguarding the health of our bee colonies and providing optimal grazing for our sheep, to keeping toxins out of the environment and boosting essential nutrients in our farm-grown herbs and produce. From the ground up, fertile soil gives life to the transformative properties in our skincare collection, and holds the roots of our integrity at Seed to Skin.
Permaculture
Fostering a thriving habitat
At Borgo Santo Pietro we are committed to the principles of permaculture, a whole-systems methodology that focuses on restoring natural ecosystems through regenerative farming. As such, practices such as rewilding, synergetic landscape design, water resource management, waste minimization and biodiversity are mindfully employed by our team of farmers and gardeners. This holistic and integrative approach protects the estate’s natural habitat, encouraging native flora and fauna to thrive.
