Farfalla buying guide: botanical body, hair and face care

Farfalla makes natural cosmetics organised around single botanicals and their essential oils. Across the 36+ products we stock you will find body lotions, hand creams, shampoos, bath soaks, face oils, lip balm and tonic sprays, with scents drawn from mandarin, lavender, rose, ginger, grapefruit, frankincense and orange blossom. This guide walks through what the brand makes, how the ranges differ, and how to pick the right item for your skin, hair and routine.

What Farfalla is and who it suits

Farfalla is a natural cosmetics brand whose products lean on plant oils and botanical extracts rather than synthetic fragrance. The names tell you the lead botanical up front: Mandarin Body Lotion, Lavender Body Lotion, Ginger Volume Shampoo, Rose Tonic Spray. If you prefer to know what gives a product its scent and to choose by a plant you like, the range is easy to read.

It suits anyone moving toward plant-based body and hair care, people who react to heavy synthetic perfume, and shoppers who want a face oil or a tonic spray that does one job well. Because the catalogue covers body, hair and face, you can build most of a daily routine from a single house.

The ranges we carry

The grid splits into a few clear groups. Body care covers lotions such as the Mandarin and Lavender Body Lotion 150ml, plus the Mandarin Hand Cream 50ml. Hair care includes the Ginger Volume Shampoo 200ml. Bath and shower products include the Relaxing Bubble Bath 200ml and the Grapefruit Soft Filling Tray 70ml.

Face care centres on the Frankincense Regenerating Face Oil 20ml and the Clarifying Detox Mask, with the Rose Tonic Spray 75ml as a refresh step. Lip care is handled by the Orange Blossom Lip Balm. Knowing these groups makes it simpler to fill one step at a time rather than guessing from the name alone.

Choosing by botanical and scent

Each Farfalla scent carries its own character, so pick the botanical that fits the mood and the moment. Lavender reads calm and is an easy pick for evening body care and bath time. Mandarin and grapefruit are brighter and citrus-forward, which suits morning use on body and hands.

Rose works well as a light tonic refresh, ginger adds a warm lift to hair washing, and frankincense sits at the richer, more grounding end for a face oil. If you are buying more than one item, choosing scents that share a family keeps your routine from clashing.

Face care: oil, mask and tonic

For the face, the Frankincense Regenerating Face Oil 20ml is the anchor. Apply a face oil to slightly damp skin as the last step at night, pressing in a few drops; the 20ml size lasts a long time because you use so little.

The Clarifying Detox Mask is an occasional treatment, used once or twice a week. The Rose Tonic Spray 75ml works as a between-cleanse refresh or a setting mist, and its compact size travels well. The three cover different jobs, so they sit alongside each other without overlapping.

Body and hand care

The body lotions come in 150ml bottles, a practical size for daily use after a shower. The Mandarin and Lavender versions let you match the scent to time of day, citrus for morning and lavender for evening. Apply to warm, slightly damp skin so the lotion spreads and absorbs well.

The Mandarin Hand Cream 50ml is a pocket or desk size for frequent reapplication, which is where hands need the most help. Pairing the hand cream with the matching body lotion keeps the scent consistent from head to toe.

Hair and bath products

The Ginger Volume Shampoo 200ml is the hair entry in the range, aimed at lift and body, with ginger giving it a warm note in the shower. Use a small amount, work it into the scalp, and rinse well so fine hair keeps its volume.

For bath and shower, the Relaxing Bubble Bath 200ml turns a soak into a wind-down step, and the Grapefruit Soft Filling Tray 70ml adds a brighter citrus option. Both pair well with a lavender body lotion for an evening routine.

Sizes and value

Sizes are matched to how often you use each product. Face oil comes in a small 20ml bottle because a few drops go a long way, while body lotions are 150ml for daily use across larger areas. Hand cream is 50ml so it stays portable for frequent top-ups, and shampoo and bubble bath are 200ml for regular shower use.

If you are trying the brand for the first time, a smaller item like the hand cream, lip balm or tonic spray is a low-commitment way in. Once you know which botanical you like, moving up to a full body lotion or shampoo makes sense.

Building a routine from the range

Because Farfalla spans face, body and hair, you can assemble a coherent routine without mixing houses. A simple evening set might be the Ginger Volume Shampoo in the shower, the Lavender Body Lotion afterward, and the Frankincense Face Oil as the final facial step.

A morning version could swap in the Mandarin Body Lotion and Hand Cream for a brighter citrus start, with the Rose Tonic Spray as a midday refresh. Build it up one product at a time so you can judge how each scent and texture works for you before adding the next.
