New range of organic damask rose skin care

I am finalising our new range of organic damask rose products - cream, balm, body oil and rose water.
I have sourced organic rose oil and rose water from Bulgaria. This single source of roses is grown by the Nikolaev family. Apparantly the communist regime confiscated land which was left overgrown and was only returned about 10 years ago.

True rose oil is a complex combination of tea-like heart and base notes with floral overtones; quite different to the synthetic fragrances we are all used to. It is very soothing and excellent for dry and mature skin.

To make rose oil you have to pick the rose petals early in the morning before the sun drives away the precious fragrance. The petals are distilled and the oil separated from the water which becomes rose water. Rose water retains some of the rose oil. Our rose water is strongly fragranced showing that it contains a good quantity of oil.

Rose oil, or rose otto as it is called, contains retinol which has anti-wrinkle properties. Our rose cream can be used on the face, neck and decollete.
