Founded in 1957 by Princess Marcella Borghese, the Borghese brand was born from a desire to bring the luxurious, therapeutic rituals of Italian spas into the home. A member of the noble Roman family, the princess leveraged her heritage and the natural resources of Tuscany to create a skincare line in partnership with Revlon founder Charles Revson. This venture was pioneering, establishing one of the first beauty brands centered on natural spa therapies, particularly the healing muds and mineral waters from Tuscan retreats. The brand’s identity is deeply rooted in this blend of aristocratic Italian culture and the restorative power of nature.
