| About The Rose
Hardly any other healing plant has been used for skin care as much – and in so many ways – as the rose. The rose is regarded as the “Queen of all Flowers” and the rose oil as a “Gift of Heaven.” Since antiquity to present day, the rose beautified our planet, perfumed our gardens, warmed our hearts and nourished our souls. Rooted in myth and magic, all cultures alike have revered the rose for its physical beauty and mesmerizing fragrance. Linked to Venus and Aphrodite and beloved by poets, painters and musicians, the rose became a symbol for love, romance, harmony and perfection. Apart from its beauty and symbolism roses were highly valued for their beautifying, uplifting, harmonizing, regenerative, and medicinal benefits and held a prominent place in traditional Eastern and Western medicine. Today, modern scientific studies increasingly confirm ancient traditional lore; in many cases, rose oil and rose flower water live up to their traditional uses.
Connected to the heart chakra, the rose has a strong affinity to femininity. Since antiquity, the most precious perfumes and most delicate skin oils of the past were crafted with extracts, waters and oils of the rose. For reason of cost, pure distilled rose oil is rarely used in today’s skin care formulas and is replaced by synthetic rose compounds. But our rose line continues the long tradition of the past, capturing the
pure beauty and spirit of the rose in all of our rose products. Find our more about our Rose Skin Care line here.
