Rose is so highly prized in cosmetics because it contains active ingredients (citronellol, nerol, geraniol, and nonadecane) with numerous properties. Rose is a treasure for skin, whether sensitive, dry, normal, or oily. 

The effects of rose essential oil on the skin:
The effects of rose essential oil on the skin:
  • Moisturizing  : softening and regenerating, rose nourishes the epidermis and gives it elasticity.

  • Soothing  : Ideal for sensitive skin, rose protects the epidermis from external aggressions, such as pollution. Rose essential oil is revitalizing, regenerating, healing, and firming.
  • Its analgesic and calming properties come mainly from the oil's richness in citronellol. When used as a treatment, rose oil therefore provides a moment of relaxation and helps soothe the skin during periods of cold or heat when the skin is subjected to moments of turbulence.
  • Its astringent, revitalizing and healing properties make it a very valuable oil for improving acne, minor burns, rosacea, dermatoses, tired skin and wrinkles, as well as for revitalizing the skin. Its skin tolerance makes it a major essential oil for the skin;

  • Toning  : Rose revives the skin's radiance for a healthy, fresh glow and an anti-fatigue effect. It also enhances the complexion by adding radiance. Use before your makeup routine to set your makeup so it lasts all day long.

  • Purifying  : Suitable for combination to oily skin, the astringent properties of its active ingredients limit excess sebum and tighten pores without drying it out. Skin texture is refined and the complexion brightened. This is why we regularly find rose essential oil in facial cleansers, such as that of New Angance, or in makeup removers and micellar waters.

  • Anti-aging  : Its antioxidant benefits work against premature aging of cells. With its tonic effect, rose firms the epidermis: a real asset in fighting the appearance of wrinkles.

History of Rose Essential Oil

It is said that the very first essential oil was produced by the philosopher and physician Avicenna around the 11th century, and that it was rose oil. Today, the Damask rose is the most widely used species for the production of oil, essential to industry. In addition to all these benefits, it is also the scent of the rose that makes it so irresistible.
