Tales from Nature
Rosa Centifolia Essential Oil is extracted from a hybrid of the Rosa Centifolia and Rosa Gallica. It is a thorny shrub that can reach 2.5 meters in height and produces a large number of flowers. It is presumed to be native to Provence, born from a hybridization of several rose species imported to Europe from the East by Dutch merchants after 1600.
Widely used in perfumery for its intense and characteristic fragrance, it is extremely rare and valuable. In cosmetics, it is used in preparations such as creams, balms, oils and perfumes for dry skin, dermatitis, mature and sensitive skin and for its perfuming and aromatizing properties. Its extracts and oils are invaluable as they require long and complex processing.
Benefits
Centifolia Rose Essential Oil is among the most expensive Essential Oils in the world. It has a marked balancing and moisturizing action on the skin. It soothes skin inflammation and redness, repairs, heals and renews the epidermis, stimulating cell renewal thanks to its vitamin- and fatty acid-rich petals.
It also acts as an anti-wrinkle. The intense and distinctive scent gives harmony and well-being and has an aphrodisiac effect.
