Benedetta

Benedetta is truly a superb product. My favorites are the Hydrating Elixir and Facial Oil. Also I am huge lavender lover so I loooove the body lotion. Truly sustainable products that show results the moment you began to use it. Also the bottles are durable and wonderful for travel.
There is a very friendly young man named Oliver at this location who is very knowledgeable about skincare. He persuaded me to try the product simply because he has impeccable skin himself and warming energy. Apparently Benedetta is as passionate about employing amazing people as they are making great product. This is the REAL DEAL!

I have used the geranium cleanser for a decade and I wouldn’t be without it. The cleanser can be used as a simple cleanser or left on as a nourishing mask.
I’ve used the seaweed bath several times while sick with the flu. After soaking for twenty minutes I felt like a new woman, aches gone, like a human again.
These products are unlike any others.

Absolutely the best skincare line Ive ever tried! Im currently using the rosemary&geranium cleanser, crystal elixir neroli, geranium oil, neroli moisturizer and the control cram that has helped with breakouts on chin and neck.
I was looking for skin products like these! I found this wonderful brand after I dug online for days looking for a natural yet effective skin line to heal my over dried skin due to all the commercial products I ave used in the past. I also tried the sea weed mask, is a MUST! instantly my skin was glowing and the pimples I had faded away. Im purchasing the sea weed mask package since I am very satisfied with the results.
The sales department are very kind and helpful as well. The products arrive on time and safe. I really appreciate they use ecological packaging and sustainable sources.
Next product to try, sacred soap and deodorant!
I also encourage parents with teenagers dealing with acne to try this brand. Don’t use commercial products that over dry their young skin. Have them try these skin line!
I give Benedetta 6 stars!

My wife found out about Benedetta’s deodorant through a friend who brought it back from California, and it really is «The Best Deodorant» (the name it goes by) she’s ever used. It’s the only all-​natural product that actually works for her (her friend said the same thing), and it’s organic to boot. She had pretty well given up on off-​the-​shelf deodorants until discovering this one. Not available in any stores up here, so we order it online from the company.

Wonderful products! I felt hydrated throughout the day, which is extremely rare for me. I love the seaweed mask – my skin felt brand-​new immediately. Can’t say enough great things about this line!

Their seaweed bath packages are beyond the beyond. There’s nothing else like them anywhere. Strong, healing, fragrant and powerful. I go to their beautiful Derry building store just to get them. Worth the journey!

The most incredible skin care I’ve come across in my many years of searching!
It is so difficult to find a natural and organic skin care line that actually lives up to being natural. Many say they are natural and organic but when you read they ingredient list they are still filled with some type of chemical and preservative. But Benedetta is authentic skin care!
I had some early onset skin damage from the sun and drying from the winter. But after using their to go pack for a week the results were incredible. My skin has never been in better shape.
The fragrance and the quality is wonderful as well. After trying Benedetta you will experience that they are the real deal. I’ve tried almost all the products and I recommend anything they sell!

This is the one and only skincare line you will ever need! I purchased a facial sampler and wow there were so many products to try. I loved them all. This line offers so much, for all different skin types and uses safe ingredients from natural sources that you can recognize and not wonder if they are toxic. Worth every penny!

I walk by their store at the Ferry Building almost every Saturday when I go to the farmers market and finally decided to give it a try few weeks ago. I’ve had problems with my skin over the last year and I tried all natural things possible, some work some did not. Benedetta takes the natural skincare to the next level.
I’ve been using the the geranium cleanser and blemish crème for the last 2 weeks and my skin is glowing and blemishes (mostly congested pores) are clearing away!!! I have also added the seaweed mask which is awesome. It keeps your skin smooth and soft for days.
Yes they are on the expensive side, but I do not mind spending money on products that are organic, natural and produce visible results.
My only regret is that I have not tried their products sooner!!!

A friend gifted me the Benedetta Rosemary and Geranium Cleanser a few months ago, and I’m hooked. I have tried everything for my sensitive skin, and this is the only stuff that works for more than a couple of weeks. In the past, I have had to use bars of soap (fewer ingredients) to avoid an allergic reaction, but that has left my skin dry and flaky and congested. i have always settled for that over hives all over my face. Now that I am planning a wedding, I need to get my skin under control and it’s time to restock!

WOW their lotion is so wonderful, it’s expensive but it smells great, very fresh and clean and feels even better.
The hand sanitizer is equally great. My daughter loved the smell of it.
Cost: about $ 20 – 30 for a trial size and $ 50+ for a full size container.
I’m asking for this stuff for Christmas!!! They have a website and this can also be ordered from Amazon too.

Ordered the hydrating elixir, neroli for the first time. It works perfectly on my skin! I have combination/​dry skin, and even when i spray it by itself w/​o using face cream my face still feels moisturized for long time!
One time i sprayed it on mosquito bites since I didn’t have a mosquito spray with me. It worked magically well, got rid of the itchiness feeling right away~I definitely recommend Benedetta to everyone who cares about skin :)

just spent the night at a friends house after staying out late at dinner and dancing. I was unprepared with my overnight bag and removed makeup and showered before bed using her Benedetta products. Wow! I was so impressed with the quality, utility and OMG the scents of each product that I showered again in the morning before leaving. Greedy, yes, but I could hardly wait to get my own. I will be ordering immediately. I loved the rosemary & geranium cleanser, nourishing oil, sacred soap and body lotion and the best deodorant, can’t wait to get my own.

I’ve been eyeing Benadetta every time I come to the Ferry Building and finally tried their Rosemary and Geranium Cleanser. I’ve always had good skin but started seeing improvements immediately! My skin looked clearer. So I tried the Neroli Elixer, Palmarosa Oil and Neroli Moisturizer. My skin is glowing. Several strangers have approached me now and ask for skin care suggestions. The dry aging/​hormonal/​probably perimenopausal cracks disappeared and my skin is constantly soft, dewey and clean looking. And the smells of these products are calming and invigorating at the same time. Of «a certain age» people often think I’m in my late 20s /​early 30s but now «often» is «always» after 2 months of using Benadetta!
They also gave me a sample of the deodorant. It really does work and you feel much better as it’s so much more natural than the over the counter stuff. Now I’m planning on trying alot of their other products. The way I’m experiencing it, Benadetta can be life changing or life enhancing so you should all try it!

I’m headed over to the Ferry Bldg. to get their Vitality Body Lotion for my 102 yr. old grandmother. It’s a pretty penny but nothing works quite like it does to get her circulation in her legs going and just give her energy when she is feeling a bit spent. I have been using their products for over 10 years, and they really deliver. I cannot count the times their cleanser has calmed a nasty breakout, or that my husband and I have taken their seaweed bath to help bring relief from a nasty cold or flu. The only thing that would make me love them more is if I could once again find their products in the East Bay, rather than having to trek across the bridge.

Petite échoppe tout au bout de l’agréable marché d’artisanat du Ferry Building (au fond à droite quand on entre côté ville) vendant les produits de Benedetta, fabricant local (dans le Sonoma County) de cosmétiques bio.
Vendeuse sympathique et obligeante (mais pas trop pushy). Un peu d’emphase bon enfant typiquement américaine dans la désignation du produit qui né le mérite pas forcément à 100%: exemple le bain moussant «life changing», l’utilisatrice dudit produit l’a bien aimé même si ça sent un peu fort la mer, mais de là à dire que sa vie a changé…
Prix quand même très élevés: produit artisanal, «fait à la ferme» oblige, sans doute.
Il y a une autre boutique Benedetta à LA mais la société vend surtout par correspondance sur son site web.

Seriously the best deodorant ever created. I don’t how it works — it is magical. And worth every penny! I highly recommend checking this place out!

These products are expensive but the very best that you can buy for your skin. I haven’t used any other deodorant since I tried their «Best Deodorant» some years ago. I haven’t lived in California in two years but I make sure to stop and replenish my supply of deodorant every time that I visit!

I have been meaning to write a review of Benedetta for a while; I have used the products for about six months, and have been very pleased with their quality and performance. The staff at the kiosk are super friendly, too.
I worked near the Embarcadero and found the Benedetta kiosk at the farmers market one afternoon. I was slightly desperate; I was on a topical medication that was leaving my face irritated and red. I went through so many brands of lotions, and even the most sensitive made my skin burn. I bought the trial packet of the ylang ylang benedetta face products, and I’m still using the moisturizer, elixer, tea tree lotion, intensive oil, and occassionslly the cleanser. None of the products have irritated my skin or made it too oily or broken me out. As far as I can tell, the primary ingredient in most of the products is aloe vera, which I know is excellent for skin. And the price is also reasonable; I estimate it costs me $ 30−50/month for all of the products I am using. (The bottles last a while; oil can be used more sparingly than oil-​free lotions.)
I’m very happy with the products and customer service! Five stars.

I discovered the line of Benedetta face and body products over the holidays– the kiosk (at the East end, near Sur La Table) is inviting and the people working there are happy to provide samples and to answer questions. I cannot say enough about the quality of products, and the results I have seen with my own skin in just three weeks. Clearer skin, less breakouts, and all natural, organic, and bio-​dynamic. While it is expensive by volume compared to other high-​end lines (I’m a former Image C user) a little does indeed go a long way and is an excellent value.
Consistent use as recommended has also helped diminish a few age spots, and has evened out my skin tone (I’m fair with no freckles.)
Petra, who wrote the first review, also referred me to an excellent resource for evaluating thousands of skin care products and I am shocked to find what I though were «healthy» products listed as hazardous, when compared to dozens of data-​driven, scientific analyses. (Google «Skin Deep» which will take you
.)
If you wanted to try only only one product– try the Control Crème to help manage breakouts. It will work to diminish existing blemishes, and prevent future ones. Two products– try the Rose Geranium face cleanser. You won’t be disappointed.

As a long time user of Benedetta myself, I have nothing but good things to say about the product and it’s founder, Julia.
I first came upon this product while shopping at the Ferry building and noticed it displayed at the Village Market store. I had a long conversation with an employee who had been doing the demo’s for the product there and eventually tried some of the samples. I was told it was made by a women who founded the company about 15 years ago and was locally based in Petaluma, CA.
I have always suffered from oily, acne prone and sensitive skin, have some rosacia and eczema. I have tried a lot of products out there that claimed to be natural, or were not 100% free of toxic chemicals, preservatives and were not 100% cruelty free.
I can truly attest from personal use and by meeting and talking to the founder herself that she truly cares about the people using the product first and foremost. The products were designed to «assist the cells, tissues, organs and body systems to function optimally using certified organic, bio dynamic and sustainable ingredients.» The products are also made locally in small batches to ensure the same quality and consistently and so that the manufacturer can better control what goes into it every single batch made. Probably a few of the most noteworthy things to mention regarding this business is that they are a «certified» green business, meaning that everything comes from post consumer recycled materials and is environmentally and ecologically friendly and safe. The essential oils used in the skin and body care line is holistic and meant to be therapeutic. Every material used is hand picked by Julia herself.
Since using Benedetta for the past two years and struggling to find employment in this slow economy, I am now happy to have become an employee of Benedetta and would love to share the knowledge I have learned with others out there who may have encountered similar disappointment and dissatisfaction with other products and companies that have come to compromise their ingredients and integrity for more profit.
I welcome everyone to just stop by our brand new kiosk spot at the very end of the Ferry building and sample some of our products. On weekends you can find the founder herself sharing her philosophy and how she started the business with locals and tourists alike. Feel free to check out the website listed to find out more about Benedetta.
NOTE: At this time we do not have a direct phone line set up to take any calls but are in the progress of setting one up. Until then, please feel free to stop by our kiosk if you have any further questions or call the Ferry Building directly to find out our exact location– (415) 693‑0996
