Rose (Rosa)



If you shop around for genuine natural products, you will notice that many skin care ranges feature rose as the main active ingredients. Rose is used as a natural preservative for its anti-oxidant properties. This means the products will preserve itself with its main ingredients, taking away the need for synthetic preservatives, such as parabens.

Not only does rose smell incredible, but its precious oils contain essential fatty acids and and anti-oxidizing vitamins. Rose has harmonizing properties that strengthen the skin, and stimulating the skin's natural protective function. The use of rose can help prevent the signs of premature aging. It is toning and soothing to skin, highly nourishing and hydrating for skin needing extra tender loving care. Ideal for dry or mature skin.




Skin and body care products that contain rose include:

Dr Hauschka- Rose Day Cream, Rose Day Cream Light, Rose Body Moisturiser, Rose Body Oil, Rose Body Wash

Weleda- Wild Rose Facial Care range, Wild Rose Deodorant, Wild Rose Shower Cream, Wild Rose Body Oil, Wild Rose Body Lotion, Wild Rose Soap

Lavera- Wild Rose face care range, Wild Rose Shower and Bath Gel, Wild Rose Body Lotion, Wild Rose Body Oil, Wild Rose Eau de Toilette, Wild Rose Spray Deodorant, Wild Rose Roll-On

Barefoot Botanicals- Rosa Fina skin care range

P/S If you like making your own soaps, you can add rose petals to preserve your soap! My dad likes to make his own soap. When he first started out, he did not know about preservatives, so the soap would go rancid. One day he added rose petals to the mixture and the soaps stay fresh!
