San Ruffino Lab

San Ruffino Lab is the place where nature meets science, where the love for medicinal plants translates into concrete solutions for the well-being of the person.
For over thirty years, Doctor Pasquale Palazzo has passionately guided this unique project, rooted in the Italian herbal tradition and projected towards the most advanced phytotherapeutic innovation.

In the heart of the Marche, at the foot of the Sibillini Mountains, uncontaminated nature inspires our work every day.

Our story: a life dedicated to nature

The history of San Ruffino Lab began in 1988, when Dr. Palazzo, a pharmacist originally from Lucania, opened a rural pharmacy in the Marche region.
Driven by the desire for a more natural approach to health, he cultivates his passion for phytotherapy with scientific rigor and dedication.

A personal experience marks his turning point: following a trauma to his right leg, Doctor Palazzo meets Doctor Aline Vergano, a doctor of Sioux origins.
On his advice, apply an Aloe Vera gel: the pain subsides quickly, and healing occurs surprisingly quickly.

This event leads him to devote himself completely to the study of the properties of Aloe Vera and natural medicine.
After years of business, he decided to close the pharmacy to found the SR Cosmetics laboratory, today the production heart of San Ruffino Lab.

Our founder: Doctor Pasquale Palazzo

The beating heart of San Ruffino Lab beats thanks to the vision and dedication of Doctor Pasquale Palazzo, pharmacist and pioneer of Italian phytotherapy.
Originally from Lucania, he has cultivated a passion for medicinal plants and a natural approach to health since he was young.

In 1988 he opened a rural pharmacy at the foot of the Sibillini Mountains, in the Marche region, in an area immersed in uncontaminated nature.

A personal episode radically changes his path:
following a serious trauma to his right leg, characterized by a painful bruise, Doctor Palazzo meets Doctor Aline Vergano, a doctor of Sioux origins.
On his advice, apply an Aloe Vera gel: the pain eases in a few hours and complete healing occurs in surprising times.

This event leads him to undertake a path of study and research on the extraordinary therapeutic properties of Aloe Vera.

Driven by scientific curiosity and passion, he closed the pharmacy to dedicate himself exclusively to research and experimentation of natural cosmetics, founding the SR Cosmetics laboratory.

Over the years, Dr. Palazzo:

• 📚 He collaborated with university clinics in Milan, Perugia and Padua.

• 🎓 He directed the "Herbs of Health" sector of Herbaria.

• 🌱 He is the founder and president of the Naturalia association.

His philosophy is simple and authentic:

“Medicinal herbs are not miracles: they are precious allies that help the body regain its natural balance. We do not promise magic, but concrete results.”
— Dr. Pasquale Palazzo

With scientific rigor and love for nature, he continues to lead San Ruffino Lab dedicating his life to creating effective, authentic and respectful preparations for people and the environment.
