The Roses




THE ROSES
The passion and love with which the house’s roses are grown come from Giacomo and his wife Antonia.
The moment of flowering, of harvesting, of the rest of the buds mark the time of the Dufour House and are a source of renewal in every season. That’s why Dufour Cosmetics has thought of Antonia for the first line dedicated to skincare and enriched with its roses: discover the charm of this new Indie Brand here.

A SUSTAINABLE METHOD
The roses of the Dufour House are harvested only when they are really ready for extraction, which takes place through a completely mechanical method: this means that no additives or, chemicals are used and the process is not forced in any way. This innovative technique is extraction using ultrasound, which allows you to extract the active ingredients from the petals of roses by exploiting the action of sound waves.
his phenomenon is called cavitation, a process that forms small explosions of millions of bubbles inside a containment tank. The bubbles are produced precisely as a result of the propagation of ultrasounds: in this way the cell walls contained in the rose petals break naturally, releasing the active ingredients contained in them.
This technology is sustainable because it allows for a complete extraction of the assets, ensuring the integrity of all its components: un uso del 100% use of resources that does not produce waste.


Furthermore, this process takes place a room temperature: this means keeping all the properties such as vitamins and essential oils unaltered. Each extract therefore maintains the peculiarities of the plant unaltered both in terms of the principles contained and under the physical, olfactory and visual aspect.
Finally, ultrasonic extraction also offers an advantage in environmental terms: it has a very low energy consumption and the disposal of waste is practically zero.
The cultivation of roses has always been carried out without chemical fertilizers and pesticides that are harmful to the environment.
At Casa Dufour special attention also goes to bees, which have always been companions in the evolution and growth of the precious raw material: the petals.
After a period in which the family learned how to cure them, a small, unique ecosystem has been created in which these industrious insects live and thrive. Also active in many associations that protect the work of bees, the Dufour family strives to offer them a pure and peaceful environment..
