Boticario de Havana Collection

In the 1940's the world flocked to Havana. They came for the nightlife, but left with the secrets of the "boticarias" - the small apothecaries that dotted the side streets and specialized in natural skin care remedies made from local plant materials. Coffee bean, tobacco flower and pure essences and extracts of orange, sugar cane and sweet pineapple were used to promote beautiful, soft and healthy looking skin. Today we know these ingredients contain the alpha hydroxy acids, antioxidants and other agents that actively moisturize, hydrate and reduce redness associated with dry, rough skin. Enjoy the daily rituals of the Boticario - recreated exclusively by Archipelago.
