Origin
Botanical, mineral, fermented or functional: provenance begins the record.
THE HOUSE · MATERIA MEDICA

A record of the botanicals, minerals, ferments and functional materials that compose the language of Gressa.
Considered individually. Understood in relation.
Enter the reference ↓THE PRINCIPLE
Nothing enters
without purpose.
A material is considered first for what it is: its origin, composition, character and behavior within a formula.
Rarity is not a virtue in itself. Familiarity is not a limitation. What matters is what the material contributes.
Character
Lipid profile, pigment, aroma, texture and chemistry define the material itself.
In Formula
No material exists alone. Its value is revealed by proportion and relationship.
The material matters.
The composition matters more.

FROM MATERIAL TO FORMULA
A material matters most
in the company it keeps.
Selection is only the beginning. Proportion, interaction and method determine the character of the finished formula.
