A tale of earth, sun and tradition that becomes natural skincare for your skin
The beauty of Sicily: where our natural skincare is born, using local organic ingredients.
Dawn in the Olive Groves: Where Quality Is Born
Our olive trees at sunset: Sicilian olives give birth to Alia's organic skincare oil, Made in Italy.
It's six in the morning and the Sicilian sun is beginning to caress our centuries-old olive trees. It's not just a poetic image: it's precisely during these hours that we harvest the olives for our extra virgin olive oil, the precious organic ingredient in Alia Skin Care's Made in Italy formulas.
When we say "our olive oil," it's not just a figure of speech. It's our trees, our land, our hands. We control every step: from pruning to harvesting, from cold pressing to bottling. And that makes all the difference in the world.
Why Sicilian Olive Oil is Perfect for Natural Skin Care
Sicilian extra virgin olive oil isn't just an ingredient: it's a blend of millennia of history and unique climate conditions. The intense sun, volcanic soil, and sea breezes create olives with an exceptional phytochemical profile, ideal even for sensitive skin:
- Antioxidant polyphenols in higher than average concentrations
- Vitamin E is naturally present in significant quantities
- Squalene which protects the skin barrier
- Essential fatty acids in perfect balance to nourish without greasing
But there's another reason why we insist on our own production: freshness. From harvest to extraction, just a few hours pass. From extraction to cosmetic formulation, weeks, not months. This preserves the integrity of the active ingredients and guarantees a silky texture that melts instantly into the skin.
Manual olive harvesting: every gesture counts to preserve the quality of organic ingredients.
Our freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil: liquid gold for your natural skincare.
The Pomegranate: Sicilian Rubies in the Face Mask
Fully ripe Sicilian pomegranates: nature offers the best organic ingredients for sensitive skin.
Every autumn, the pomegranate trees on the Sicilian hills open like treasure chests, revealing ruby-red seeds bursting with juice. It's this fresh juice, extracted from fruits harvested at full ripeness, that you'll find in our face mask.

Collaboration with Local Producers
We work with small family farms that grow pomegranates using traditional methods, without forcing them. We personally know Salvatore, who inherited these trees from his grandfather. We know Maria, who teaches us to recognize the exact moment of optimal ripeness by looking at the shade of the peel.
It's not folklore: it's a guarantee of quality. Because when you buy from someone who knows every single plant, you get select fruit, not mass production.
The pomegranate juice we use is:
- Cold pressed to preserve vitamins and anthocyanins
- Not concentrated or reconstituted but fresh and pure
-
Rich in ellagic acid and punicalagins , powerful antioxidants that fight skin aging
When you apply the mask, that refreshing sensation and immediate radiance aren't illusory effects: they're the Sicilian pomegranate polyphenols working on your skin.

Citrus Fruits: The Fragrant Soul of Sicily
In our citrus groves: where Alia's natural essential oils for skin care are born.
If you close your eyes while using Alia products, you'll feel Sicily. That fresh, luminous scent that wakes you up in the morning and pampers you in the evening comes from the essential oils and citrus waters we cultivate and distill in collaboration with local citrus growers.
Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit: Three Characters, One Land
The Lemon of Syracuse
Harvested in winter, when the concentration of essential oils in the peel is at its highest. The essential oil we extract by cold pressing is a concentrated form of limonene, with toning and brightening properties. Lemon water, obtained by gentle distillation, provides freshness without being harsh.
The Sicilian Orange
Sweet, enveloping, comforting. The orange essential oil we use comes from the peels of blood and blond oranges, distilled separately to create distinct olfactory notes. Orange water is naturally soothing, perfect for sensitive skin seeking gentle, natural ingredients.
The Pink Grapefruit
Energizing and purifying. Its essential oil, carefully extracted to preserve its volatile molecules, maintains its citrus freshness. Grapefruit water is astringent yet gentle, ideal for combination skin.
The Local Distillation Difference
We collaborate with small artisanal distilleries that process citrus fruits within 24 hours of harvest. Why? Because essential oils are volatile molecules: they degrade with time and heat. Geographic proximity allows us to capture the essence at its peak potency.
When you open an Alia product and smell that citrus scent so authentic, so "real," it's because it truly is. These aren't synthetic fragrances imitating nature: it's nature itself, bottled.

The Sicily we love: from the volcanic soil of Mount Etna come the organic ingredients for our Made in Italy skincare.
Zero Km of Beauty: Why the Short Supply Chain Changes Everything
At Alia Skin Care, we believe in the concept of "zero-mile beauty." It's not just a matter of environmental sustainability (although reducing transportation is important), but above all of quality, freshness, and absolute traceability.
The Concrete Benefits for Your Skin
1. More powerful active ingredients
Less time between harvesting and formulation = less degradation of active ingredients. The result? More effective products.
2. Superior textures
Fresh raw materials integrate better into formulations, creating silkier and more pleasant textures to apply.
3. Authentic perfumes
Fresh essential oils have a more complex and natural olfactory profile than those stored for months.
4. Total traceability
We know the history of every ingredient. We can take you to the places where they originate and introduce you to the people who grow them.
The Laboratory: Where Sicily Becomes Made in Italy Skin Care
Sicilian raw materials arrive in our laboratory, and here the magic begins: transforming them into effective cosmetic formulations while maintaining their purity and organic nature.
We don't add anything unnecessary. We don't mask nature with synthetic fragrances. What you smell and see is the authenticity of Sicilian natural ingredients, respected and valued.
Every batch is tested, every formula is tried on real skin (ours, first and foremost). Because if we wouldn't use it, we wouldn't ask you to.
