In Fiore

There is the constant stream of newfangled organic lines that keeps me buying but more often than not returning. I discovered In Fiore during a recent trip to SF and have become widly addicted to the brand’s natural line of skin care. Judging from the old world apothecary boutique, it’s clear that the founder believes the best way to epidermal enlightenment is the old-​fashioned way — manual, organic love for your skin. In other words, you work with the right products, the skin will glow in response. And, mine did.
Don’t expect fruity masks and gimmicky frills here. Nay, friends. Instead, I found each treatment in the comprehensive line is 100% organic, tested to meet some pretty stringent regulations and smell so gloriously divine, it’ll be hard not to spend into the triple digits when you visit. My picks (which have been replenished): Treate Cleanser for my newfound obsession with double cleansing, the Bois de Rose Body Balm for my dry skin after shaving/​scrubbing, and Queen Rose Attar for seducing a man when he nears my pulse points.
The former two have turned around my skin within days use and the latter? Well, #HotSFGuy never called back, so I’m saving the solid perfume for my next trip and next vain hope for love… make sure you schedule time to troll through this little gem of a shop. It’s the most fun you can have sniffing and slathering in a beauty without the peering eyes of those commission-​hungry vultures you see at department stores. #OhNoSheDidnt Oh. Yes. I. Did.

I have not been to the store but am writing a review for the products I’ve ordered from their website. Holy crap. They are amazing. I look forward to washing my face, using the toner and serums every night. Definitely luxury items and tough on the wallet but a) they are so darn ethically made and b) they are so darn good for my skin!

As amazing as Fiore products are, you really need to check out the shop. Between the two you’ll feel 2x transported. Nice photos here:

I have been using In Fiore and also recommending it to my friends (esp my pregnant friends who don’t want to use harmful chemicals anymore) for more than 3 years! I am a self proclaimed «skincare/​cosmetic addict/​hoarder». Let’s just say, if there was a natural disaster, I may starve but at least my skin would be beautiful!
I was first introduced to InFiore by my aesthetician NiIcole at Nicole Burke Skincare, whom I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I had been on a very difficult search for an organic skincare that could compare to my high-​end, very chemical filled… but can really see results, skincare. SO HARD TO FIND!!! I had been dealing with some health issues, and had taken special measures in my diet and exercise, so why wouldn’t I cut out the harmful toxins in my beloved products that I used EVERYDAY? I had read that one toxin alone is not a problem but layer after layer of them, over time, can potentially be very harmful. (cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, spf, body loction, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, etc etc) Catch my drift?
I LOVE that InFiore products are organic, effective, texture feels brilliant, and smells great, all WITHOUT harmful chemicals!!! I alternate between, Complex de Fluer, Crème de Fluer, Soleil Fluer, Masque Royale, Virbrante, and Pedicurie… depending on what my skin needs are. Yes, it does get expensive, but I would spend this much on other products I need, so why not get the safe, organic, and VERY effective ones here?
For those commitment phobes, she also offers small travel sizes, a good way to try them before a «full size» commitment.
My faves:
Masque Royale– I actually mix a little of this with the crème and complexe on those nights I need a bit more hydration and the next morning my skin is soft and smooth.
Vibrante-​I use this when I am in REALLY cold climate, it really protects. It’s also good after a facial for healing. My husband uses it when he gets a rash on his face from stress, it’s the ONLY thing that works. (actually he now uses all my products and will remind me when «we» are low)
Soleil-​Great as a sun protector bc of all the antioxidants, it’s not SPF, but helps to protect. (I use a natural, physical SPF over that)
All the others I use everyday for maintenance. I know this review was long, but it’s well deserved. Julie has really taken a lot of time and effort to give us the very best. ENJOY!

I bought their gentle cleanser and rose masque. Both products did not irritate my skin nor did they do anything for my skin. I did not see any improvement in my skin … so disappointed. So glad I only bought travel sizes …

I love love love this product! Yes, it is a little pricey, but seriously, you pay for what you get! I used to get this product when I lived in San Francisco from Nicole Burke Skincare, and I got hooked. The natural essential oils and other ingredients are blended so smoothly and absorb into the skin to TRULY improve my complexion ten-​fold! I recommend inFiore to all my friends and family@

After a facial at International Orange, I picked up a tiny bottle of the Soleil Fleur at the spa and love the feel and smell of it on my face. I hope that’s where it’s supposed to go! I’ll treat myself to a visit to Julie Elliott’s shop on Post the next time I’m in the city. I want to try everything there! In the meantime, I’ll order off her website.

I was first introduced to Julie Elliott’s luxurious nouveaux boutique apothecary at Nicole Burke in the Mission. I’m a die-​hard fan now and have tried as much as I can afford. Every woman needs to experience In Fiore. Some of my favorites are the oil concentrates and the lucense serum, with a long list of healthful fruit/​plant extracts and floral/​seed oils. The Toning Floral Essene is by far the best toner I’ve ever used. I wish my bank account could allow me to bath in it daily.

BELLA~ everything that i have tried so far is divine! So beautify, smells good, works great, feel like a fairy queen!

I would like to state that the first of these compacts I received as a gift over a year ago. I treasure them and keep them in the pouches they were presented in. I love the fragrances picked out for me. I hate to be the only one writing a below 5 star review for a small business. MI had one of my compacts fixed (and it was pointed out that I was the first to bring one back). They were nice enough to fix my compact and send it back. At the time I was also purchasing another one. It was the least they could do.
I received it in the mail today. The glue was sticky and greasy and oozing out of the compact — far from the luxury I felt was paid for. It was the only thing in the box. I expected maybe an invoice or a note or something. I just don’t feel like the people in the store were grateful for my business. I don’t know if I’ll return.
Edit: I still have them and love them years later. I feel bad giving a small business a bad review. Great product.

I had yet another amazing facial at Primrose Natural Skincare last night, which uses In Fiore products, and I have lost all sense over In Fiore’s Pur facial serum. And I mean, ALL sense. Am I sitting here at work right now, with a husband who has no income, with a condo in Chicago that currently has no renter in it, thinking «I MUST leave work RIGHT now for a $ 58 bottle of facial serum and a $ 65 solid perfume»? You bet I am. I’m even IMing a friend about it.
I have never understood, ever, how people spend money they don’t have and charge up credit cards with abandon, but this In Fiore stuff, this could get me there.

Handcrafted on-​site by skilled artisan and shopkeep Julie Elliott, my daily essential oil blend (Nourrit) is made from a concise list of only the finest organic ingredients. When was the last time anyone could boast that? Swimming in a summer garden, indeed.
Julie’s beautiful showroom is tucked into an antique brick building in an area of town you should probably be spending more time in anyway. The money saved on lunch from Saigon Sandwich gives cause to go home with two balms, not one. Not that you needed an excuse.

The most brilliant display of perfumes: Beautiful, absolutely minimal, gilded edge, empty white books sprayed with perfume, each book titled by its scent. Flip through like you would through any book and fall back drunk from the amazing, high-​quality scents.
I popped in only because I was walking by, on my way to the Lumiere. Julie was very patient and informative given I wasn’t even a shopper. I came back the next day and left with the perfect scent.

Having always been a huge fan of proprietor Julie Elliot, I was amazed at how she captured the feeling of being in a beautiful little Parisian shop in her store. Her products are so beautiful and are clearly made with integrity and the highest quality ingredients. I love the body balms and am constantly on the hunt for the perfect skin care products and found this in her calme facial oil. Within one day people were commenting on how fresh and beautiful my skin looked. If you can’t get to the store, go to her website
. No matter which products you order you will be in love!!!

Julie Elliot. An amazing talented woman.
I am completely obsessed with her body blams. So far Jolie and Mimosa Absoloute are my favorites. I have now moved beyond her body balms into her skincare line. Her natural products are so healing and appropriate for my skin. I purchased the Fleur Vibrante as my first product from the skin care line, and absoloutely loved what it did for my skin, and i had to have the rest of the line. My recent facial at IO even confirmed my skins addiction to the In Fiore line, when Jenny reccomended all of Julie’s products for me skin.
Her studio on Post Street has now been opened to the public to shop and view her product line as well as some of her favorite fragrances (both personal and home), as well as other apothecary products. You can find lines such as Serge Lutens, A Different Company, and Jacques Garcia.
The space is off the beaten path, but it makes it all the more special. Her studio is a little oasis in the neighborhood and it puts you in a different era to see all the beautiful bottles and bubbling pots for her balm making.
Enjoy.

Beautiful healing products for the skin. I am using an essential oil right now called Pur. It contains: Neroli, orange, grapeseed oil, rosehip seed oil, evening primrose oil and vitamin E. Awake to find yourself swimming in a summer garden. Your skin will thank you.
