ARGITAL's Gift for Summer: The 'ARGITAL Summer Collection'
As summer brings concerns about sweat, humidity, sensitive area discomfort, odor, sunburn, and UV-induced dryness, this thoughtfully curated set aims to help you stay comfortable and refreshed. The packaging is inspired by traditional Sicilian tiles.
The set includes the ever-popular 'Delicate Hygiene Soap', the 'Bright Moisturizing Chamomile Cream Mini' to soothe dryness from accidental sun exposure, and the 'Green Clay Paste' recommended for roughened skin after UV exposure.

About ARGITAL / Argital
Founded in 1979 by Dr. Ferraro, a biologist, to promote the benefits of green clay (marine mud) from his hometown of Sicily, Italy, ARGITAL celebrates its 45th anniversary in 2024.
The brand meticulously selects ingredients based on skin needs: green clay rich in approximately 16 million years of marine minerals, natural mineral water from southern Italy, and biodynamically grown, organic, or wild-harvested plants. Each product is carefully crafted with the hope that those struggling with skin issues can regain their natural beauty.
The brand name 'ARGITAL / Argital' combines ARGI (Argilla / clay), TA (Tartaruga / turtle), and L (Longevita / longevity). The turtle, a symbol of longevity and wisdom, embodies the wish that through these products, people and the planet may enjoy long, happy lives.
