Tales from Nature
Rosmarinus Officinalis, commonly known as rosemary, is an evergreen shrub belonging to the Lamiaceae family. Widespread throughout much of the world, it grows wild in temperate climates, where it finds ideal conditions for development. Since ancient times, this plant has been valued not only for its aromatic scent but also for its symbolic properties: in ancient Rome, it was used during funeral rites to purify the air and keep evil spirits away.
Suggestive is the legend told by Ovid in the Metamorphoses, which tells of the Persian princess Leucote. Having fallen in love with the god Apollo, she was killed by her father for this fault. Apollo, moved by grief, decided to transform her tomb into a sacred place, causing rosemary to grow from it, illuminated by a ray of sunlight.
Rosemary is used to make the extract, which is highly valued in cosmetics for its many virtues: it has a dermopurifying, astringent, toning and deodorizing action. It also possesses antioxidant and sanitizing properties that make it a valuable ally for the well-being of the skin and body.
