Tales from Nature
Rosmarinus Officinalis, better known as Rosemary, is an evergreen shrub belonging to the Labiatae family. Widespread throughout the Mediterranean basin, it prefers mild, sunny climates. Since ancient Rome, this plant was the protagonist of symbolic rituals to purify the air and refresh environments.
Suggestive is the myth of the princess Leucotoe told in Ovid's Metamorphoses: it is said that the young woman, killed by her father for her love for the god Apollo, was transformed by the latter into a Rosemary plant so that she could continue to live under the sun's rays.
A valuable Essential Oil for personal care is extracted from the plant, celebrated for its dermopurifying, astringent, invigorating and deodorizing virtues. Thanks to its antioxidant power, it acts as a protective shield against environmental aggressions and oxidative stress.
Hair Benefits
Rosemary Essential Oil promotes skin microcirculation, improving local oxygenation of the scalp, an essential condition for the vitality of the hair bulb. Thanks to its detoxifying and astringent properties, it cleanses the skin of impurities, toxins and excess sebum buildup, keeping the capillary environment fresh and clean.
It is widely used in professional systems to combat the imperfections of flaking and dandruff (both occasional and persistent) and to support the natural strength of the hair, counteracting thinning. It also performs an important soothing action, alleviating feelings of discomfort, itching and skin tension. Like any noble oil, it brings visible softness and shine to the lengths, making hair healthier and silkier.
