Aromatherapy is based on the principle that natural fragrances, or essential oils, from certain plants or flowers can affect our moods, and consequently how we think or feel at any given time.
The natural oils found in roses help retain moisture in the skin. This results in your skin feeling smooth and soft. The sugars in rose petals especially benefit those with sensitive skin.
When used aromatically, rose calms and soothes the mind. In fact, rose petals are a staple in Ayurvedic medicine to detoxify and calm. While this characteristic doesn’t directly add beauty benefits, it sure makes this rose-scented skin wash an extra pleasant experience.
Rose oil and its hydrolate counterpart, rosewater, with its complex chemical profile of at least 275 compounds, possesses a vast number of therapeutic applications. Rose nourishes skin health and restores skin's radiance, beauty and youthfulness. Rose Otto hydrosol helps restore moisture balance and is used to enhance circulation, support heart health and encourage healthy blood pressure.
Rose is especially suited to the female reproductive system, supporting regular cycle and balanced hormones when used in direct palm inhalation or a compress to the lower abdomen. In men, it is also used to support healthy reproductive strength and balance.
Emotionally and spiritually, rose has a long history of gracefully lifting the mood, and it is believed to help reduce anger and an agitated mind. It is widely employed to calm and settle the mind and emotions, nourish the heart, and enliven the spirit. It is helpful for those worn down by life’s difficulties, grieving a loss or those wishing to nourish and enhance self esteem.
A nurturing and supportive hydrosol, it is used to promote deep, restful sleep, and to engender feelings of well-being and happiness. Rose is often symbolic of love, passion, devotion, and spirituality.
Benefits of Roses
Skin Beautifier
Rose is so nourishing and moisturizing to skin of all types. It is rich in vitamin C, which boosts collagen and prevents premature aging.
Rose has astringent properties. Once you apply it on your skin, you’ll notice it feels tighter, firmer and non-oily.

***Rose petal colors can vary due to different batches. This skin wash is made to order and I use the dried petals that I have on hand at time of order.
Selecting Red Petals does not guarantee the petals will still be red in your skin wash by it's arrival time.
The petals sometimes loose their color or lighten considerably shortly after adding to and bottling the skin wash. On the other hand...a batch I made with deep dark red petals look almost black instead of red.
**More about why these are the best oils for our skin...
We all know how wonderfully soothing and moisturizing Almond Oil can be for our skin.
One of the biggest secrets behind the use of almond oil for skin treatments is the high level of fatty acids contained in the final oil mixture. Fatty acids serve as a natural emollient for the skin, and can help the skin lock in moisture by forming a protective barrier. Emollients are especially effective for conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea.
....now let's talk about Grape seed Oil benefits for our skin....
The properties of grapeseed oil make it a viable option for many skin care routines. Many people use grapeseed oil for skin problems like varicose veins (because of its anti inflammatory properties) and stretch marks. It is believed that using grapeseed oil for skin care is effective because the oil contains vitamins C, E, and D, along with beta carotene from vitamin A. Along with these effective vitamins, grapeseed oil also contains of palmatic, and stearic acids, which occur in skin naturally and decrease with age.
Benefits of Linoleic Acid
Linoleic acid is a major reason why using grapeseed oil for skin care is so beneficial. Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fat and is often found in foods and medications that are used to fight cancer. It is a natural substance found in the body and without it, we suffer from hair loss and dry flaky skin on face.
The acid works to treat dryness by forming a protective layer on the skin, and is commonly found in acne treatments and anti-inflammatory products. If using grapeseed oil for skin care, the lineleic acid is also thought to help metabolism at the cellular level, which helps prevent aging skin.
Benefits of Vitamin C
Vitamin C is another important property that makes using grapeseed oil for skin care so effective. Vitamin C is a well known antioxidant that helps repair cell damage, and may even stimulate the body’s production of collagen. Sufficient collagen is an essential aspect of attaining healthy skin, as it is a protein that is partly responsible for skin elasticity.
