ROSE SKINCARE THROUGHOUT HISTORY:
Roses have been used in skincare for centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks + Romans.
Ancient Egyptians used rose petals in their skincare routines, creating fragrant oils + balms for moisturizing and perfuming the skin. The Greeks + Romans also valued roses for their skincare properties, using rose water as a toner to cleanse and refresh the skin. (They were definitely on to something here!)
Today, roses continue to be a popular ingredient in skincare products. Rose extracts, rose water + rose essential oil are commonly found in a variety of skincare products, including cleansers, toners, serums, salves and moisturizers. Formulations now harness the power of roses to target more specific skin concerns and offer a holistic approach to skincare.
ROSE FOR THE SPIRIT:
Roses have been cherished for centuries, not only for their enchanting fragrance and captivating beauty but also for their spiritual significance. They're not just pretty faces; they have a rich history, deep spiritual meaning + even offer incredible benefits for your skin. In many cultures, roses symbolize love, passion, and beauty. They are often associated with the divine feminine energy and are believed to open the heart chakra, promoting love, compassion + forgiveness.
