Ortigia is a small Italian soap and scent company founded in Sicily in 2006 by Sue Townsend. The luxurious range of soaps, scents, creams, candles and lotions are formulated using natural products indigenous to Sicily and inspired by the aesthetics, colors and scents of Italy’s most historic and tropical region. The perfumes are distilled from the flowers of Sicily by master perfumer, Lorenzo Villoresi. The base of all the products is natural perfume and natural ingredients: olive oil, vegetable glycerine, and organic colors. Paraben-free, the range uses traditional products with modern ethics and integrity. All Ortigia products are made by small family companies who pride themselves on the quality of their products. The decorative packaging is designed by Sue Townsend, drawing on exotic Sicilian images and colors.
