The Inspiration
Why "Palio"
Palio takes its name from a race where history matters as much as the finish. One built on rivalry, loyalty, and generations gathered in the same streets year after year. That spirit guides everything we create — products made to be used daily, and a community rooted in ritual, care, and life lived beneath the sun.
FORMULATION
The First Formula
Palio No. 1 is our first expression of daily care. We began with sunscreen because it is the product most consistently overlooked, yet most essential — something meant to be worn every day, not reserved for extremes. The formula is designed to protect without interruption, sitting naturally on the skin and integrating seamlessly into routine. Olive oil plays a central role, chosen for its long history of nourishment and ritual, grounding modern protection in a tradition that values care over excess.
A PLACE FOR THOUGHT
Beneath the Sun
Beneath the Sun is Palio’s journal — a place for reflection, culture, and life lived outdoors. It draws from sport, ritual, and tradition, exploring the ideas that shape how we care for ourselves and how we spend our time beneath the sun. Essays, observations, and stories shared with intention.
Giving Back
Extending the Olive Branch
A portion of our profits support youth-focused organizations that expand access to the arts and sport—helping young people move, create, and belong.
