Organic skincare from the Italian countryside
Rose Flower Extract (Rosa Damascena Flower Extract) has captured the hearts of many in the skincare world.
Derived from the petals of the rose, Rose Flower Extract is sometimes referred to as "Rosewater", its sister ingredient, although it is differentiated by a higher concentration of beneficial compounds. This elevated concentration translates to a wealth of skincare benefits.
Let's explore its history and the myriad of advantages that render it a cherished addition to mature skincare regimens.
Roses, the source of Rose Flower Extract, have a lineage spanning over 35 million years, making them one of the oldest flowers on Earth. The Damask Rose, in particular, has a rich history intertwined with humans, dating back thousands of years.
The scent of roses in Rose Flower Extract is believed to have a heart-opening effect in aromatherapy, promoting emotions like love, compassion, and well-being, making it more than just a skincare ingredient.
Historical figures like Cleopatra and Marie Antoinette were known to incorporate roses, likely including forms of Rose Flower Extract, into their skincare routines, embracing the luxurious benefits of this natural botanical.
It takes a significant number of rose petals to produce a small quantity of highly effective Rose Flower Extract. It's truly a labor of love.
Rose Flower Extract is a powerhouse ingredient to nourish and protect your skin. Here are its main skincare properties:
Hydration and Nourishment: Mature skin, prone to dryness, benefits from the moisture-retaining abilities of Rose Flower Extract. It leaves your skin feeling plump, supple, and well-nourished.
Soothing Sensitivity: For those with sensitive skin, this extract is a gentle ally. Its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe redness and calm irritated skin.
Protection: The antioxidants found in Rose Flower Extract are nature's shield against free radicals, helping maintain the function of the skin barrier.
Aroma for the Soul: Beyond physical benefits, the scent of roses has an age-old association with relaxation and stress relief.
Radiant Results: The astringent quality of Rose Flower Extract tightens pores and promotes even skin tone. Your complexion takes on a natural, healthy glow.
Rose Flower Extract can be found in a variety of natural skincare products. It is especially common in gentle cleansers and toners.
Sole Toscana's ROSEWATER WELLSPRING CLEANSER is a daily 2-in-1 cleanser and toner that hydrates and nourishes while gently cleansing. It's great for mature skin, especially with dryness, sensitivity, or irritation.
As with all skincare ingredients, the source and quality of Rose Flower Extract can impact its effectiveness. Look for brands that use meticulous sourcing and production methods, such as those with organic certifications.
