The skin is a sense organ, and scent initiates healing. At In Fiore, we are guided by the philosophy of 'Perfumery as Medicine.' This approach recognizes that scent offers more than physical benefits; it profoundly influences the psychospiritual plane. Our product formulation prioritizes the bioenergetic aspect, emphasizing the deeper connection between aroma and wellness.

We redefine skincare as a process influenced by more than just scent; it encompasses the transformative processes initiated through both smell and the act of application. This integrated approach underlines the profound connection between aroma, application, and wellness, moving beyond traditional skincare paradigms.

The skin, often overlooked, is a complex, dynamic organ integral to our sensory experiences and overall health. Its ability to absorb and react to substances, particularly essential oils, is a testament to its complexity. These plant-derived natural extracts are more than mere fragrances; they are potent compounds capable of initiating healing and wellness processes. 

Through aromatherapy and topical application, essential oils leverage the skin's capacity to absorb and respond to their therapeutic qualities.This interaction paves the way for a myriad of psychophysiological benefits, from stress relief to hormonal balance. We explore how essential oils, when applied in products like body oils and balms, can influence these processes.

Essential Oils and Psychophysiological Processes

• Skin Absorption
  Essential oils are volatile compounds that penetrate the skin. Once absorbed, these compounds interact with biological systems, influenced by skin permeability, compound molecular size, and oil concentration.

• Interaction with Skin Receptors
  Beyond its barrier function, the skin is a sensory organ equipped with receptors that respond to essential oils, triggering physiological responses. Certain oils, for example, create cooling or warming sensations by interacting with temperature-sensitive skin receptors.

• Aromatherapy Effects
  While often inhaled, the scent of essential oils also plays a significant role when applied topically. As these volatile compounds evaporate, they are inhaled and affect the limbic system, influencing mood and stress.

• Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties
  Numerous essential oils possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. This contributes to skin health and overall wellbeing.

• Psychological Effects
  The act of applying oils offers sensory experiences that can be calming or uplifting, impacting stress, mood, and pain perception.

• Endocrine System Interaction
  Certain essential oils may interact with the endocrine system, possibly affecting hormone levels and balance through phytoestrogenic properties.
