An Ancient Beauty Secret.
Rose is an ingredient that needs no formal introduction. It's an iconic flower used all over the world for food, skincare, decor and everything in between. Here at Mina + Moon we love rose in our products, and at home.
Roses have been cultivated for millennia, with the first known instance being tracked to China over 5000 years ago. The alluring rose has been a popular garden flower ever since, and is strongly associated with romance and love of all types. Greek myth states that Aphrodite named the rose after her son Eros by ever so slightly changing the spelling, and it’s also said that Cleopatra, a big fan of the flower, filled her fountains and chamber with rose water and petals to win over the affections of Mark Anthony.
Use in Skincare Today
As romantic as the history surrounding roses may be, they have versatile practical uses. Rose is filled with minerals and antioxidants, so its oils, waters and other derivatives are great for dry skin. Rosehip seed oil is a great source of vitamins A, C ,D, and E in particular. These properties, along with being a natural astringent means your daily rose skincare products are fighting signs of aging, fine lines, and redness all at once!
