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 is a true botanical skin ally. Our high-quality rose products are well known for enhancing skin health and beauty. This aromatic water of organic roses rejuvenates, hydrates, softens, calms redness and feelings of irritation, and if used over time, reduces the effects of time (as seen in facial lines and wrinkles). Use often and liberally to nourish and restore.
Anti-Inflammatory
The strong anti-inflammatory properties of rose make it a good choice for reducing inflammation. It helps with red angry acne, itchy eczema and flaky psoriasis patches.
Your skin is the largest organ on your body and absorbs a lot of different toxins and chemicals on a daily basis.

Our products are formulated with natural plant based ingredients and naturally soothe and protect skin without all those harmful synthetic and chemical additives, allowing you to maintain a supple and silky softness throughout the years with lush and luxurious lotions and ingredients.
***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.
