The benefits of rose-infused skincare

2023-01-10

We all can relate to the wonderful feeling that receiving a bouquet of roses or seeing beautiful rose gardens can give us – from their wonderful aroma to their delicate look and feel to the variety of beautiful colours. Rose has been a constant skincare ingredient of choice for many over the years due to its benefits for all skin types. It can tone, hydrate and is particularly suited to sensitive, dry and ageing skin. From its antioxidant skin-soothing benefits, to its relaxing delicate aroma, here’s why roses are still as effective a skincare ingredient today as they were centuries ago.

Key Benefits of Rose-Infused Skincare

  • Antioxidant Powerhouse - Rose has a variety of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals, and its oil is known to be fantastic for helping to sooth dry skin.
  • Hydration Hero - Roses are full of natural sugars and oils that help to keep your skin moisturised, smooth and soft.
  • Wrinkle Smoother - Roses are rich in vitamins C and E, which is known to have collagen-boosting benefits for your skin.
  • Super Soother - Rose can help to comfort your skin.
  • Oil Reducer - It can offer astringent properties, making it excellent for oily and blemish-prone skin.
  • Kind To Your Mind - Of course, rose also has a lovely scent that can enhance your mood, help you to relax and relieve anxiety.

“Rose is ideal for all skin types, providing the skin with nourishment and hydration” explains Noella Gabriel, ELEMIS co-founder. “At ELEMIS we use rose absolute, rose essential oil, rose waxes and rose hydrolat to help to calm and soothe sensitive skin as well as balance and hydrate oilier, combination skin. These natural extracts leave skin nourished and conditioned.”

The latest addition to our rose-infused skincare collection is Pro-Collagen Rose Marine Cream, featuring a soothing floral water with a hint of aromatic essential oil called a hydrolat. Sourced from a female farmer in the English countryside, 20 different varieties of rose are hand-picked for their complexity of fragrance and steam distilled to draw soothing waters from the petals. With a gentle pH level between 4 and 6, the hydrolat is blended with the original and iconic hydrating Pro-Collagen Marine Cream formula.

Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm

Infused with a delicate and soothing English Rose Oleo Extract (rose petals hand-harvested in the UK that are steeped in Safflower oil to create a decadent, skin-soothing extract), this cleansing balm melts into a rich purifying oil to dissolve make-up and impurities on the skin. Upon contact with water, it emulsifies to a hydrating milk, to easily dissolve makeup and daily grime for petal-soft skin.

Pro-Collagen Rose Facial Oil Blend

The exceptionally lightweight formula is infused with precious soothing English Rose Oleo Extract and a blend of hydrating marine actives that smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for petal-soft radiance.

Pro-Collagen Rose Marine Cream

NEW Pro Collagen Rose Marine Cream features the same iconic texture, anti-ageing benefits and hero extract Padina Pavonica as our iconic original but infused with soothing English Rose Hydrolat.
