Princess Marcella Borghese, the founder of the Borghese cosmetics line, was a woman of vision.In 1942, Marcella Fazi married Prince Paolo Borghese, Duke of Bomarzo. Although raising two sons and engaging in charity work filled most of her days, the Princess yearned to channel her energies into her own career. Aristocratic Italian families traditionally commissioned their own cosmetics and skin creams. The Borghese family’s own secret beauty recipes incorporated fruits, flowers, plants, herbs and other natural ingredients. Marcella used these formulas to create her own line of lipsticks, eventually developing an entire line of cosmetics. Inspired by the natural therapies of her favorite spa in an ancient town in Tuscany, Marcella created one of the very first spa skincare lines. These holistic skincare formulas combine the healing properties of Tuscan mud and mineral waters with soothing natural botanicals into revitalizing treatments that deliver the beautiful results of spa treatments… at home!
