Lavender is a truly exceptional example of Mediterranean flora. It boasts a very pleasant and stimulating scent with invigorating, refreshing and soothing properties. Nesti Dante's Lavender soap contains the pure essence of lavender officinalis, which makes it a dreamy and fresh scent that restores the senses. Nesti Dante still prepares soaps in the traditional Italian manner: by cauldron baking. Though this process is more expensive and takes much longer (up to four days!), there is no substitute for making soaps of such a luxurious caliber. Taking the time and energy to create these soaps by hand ensures that Nesti Dante always delivers a superior product with high-quality raw materials. The production of Nesti Dante soap is strictly carried out with full respect for the environment. The soaps are natural and fully biodegradable, as well.
