A MAGICALLY SUSTAINABLE CHRISTMAS STORY.
In 2023, Allegro Natura founded its new Baby line (organic cosmetic products for children and babies).
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Federica Braidotti, the mum-next-door and testimonial of our Capsule Collections.
And it is to children that Allegro Natura dedicates an enchanting Christmas story, to listen to or read with your little ones, perhaps after a relaxing, scented bath, to enrapture them with an atmosphere of magic infused with sustainability.
Raising the awareness of new generations from an early age is fundamental for their future.
So Merry Christmas and Happy Reading to one and all.
Once upon a time, in a small village, lived a sweet little girl named Sofia.
Sofia was nine years-old and loved Christmas more than anything in the world.
Every year, she waited for the moment to open the presents under the tree with bated breath, but most of all she loved to make little gifts for all the people she cared about.
One day, while she was playing in the woods close to her home, Sofia discovered a hidden path.
She decided to follow it and before long she found herself deep in a magical forest. The trees seemed to whisper secrets and the ground was covered in golden dust that shimmered with Sofia’s every step.
In the centre of the forest stood a majestic tree surrounded by enchanted flowers. Accompanied by melodious voices, Mother Nature, a beautiful, radiant princess swathed in a long robe of leaves, appeared before her very eyes.
‘Sofia,’ said Mother Nature with a smile, ‘my name is Allegra, I am Mother Nature, and I’m so pleased that you are here. I have felt your wish to make those dear to you Christmas presents that are something special, and I know exactly what to do. If you listen to what I have to say not only will you make your loved ones happy, you will do it in a way that is kind to our beloved planet.’
Sofia’s eyes lit up with joy and curiosity. Allegra showed her how to gather scented flowers like lavender, aromatic leaves and colourful berries. With a dedicated spell, she taught her to transform these natural treasures into fragrant soaps and creams smelling of lemon, red mandarin, pistachio and more besides, all of them bursting with love and respect for the Earth.
‘These gifts will not only bring happiness to the people who receive them, they will make them feel good about themselves, sweet-smelling, gentle, but most importantly, they will help to preserve the beauty of our world,’ explained Mother Nature.
Excited at the thought of this, Sofia made her way back home with a basket full of treasures from the magical forest. With patience and creativity she set to work to wrap these unique gifts for her family and friends. Each soap and cream was infused with the love she had put into gathering the magical ingredients.
On Christmas Day, as her loved ones opened the gifts, their eyes sparkled with surprise and joy. The soaps and creams released delicate fragrances and surrounded them all in a natural embrace.
From that moment on, Sofia explained how even the smallest acts of love can contribute to preserving the beauty of our planet.
And so, thanks to the magic of the forest, to all the fragrances that Nature offers us every day, and thanks to Sofia’s cleverness, Christmas became not only a time of gifts, but also of love for the planet that we all call home.
A Sustainable Christmas.
