Have You Heard of Rose Geranium?

In addition to smelling wonderful and offering a refreshing sensation to skin, his beautiful flower is also great at detoxifying and minimizing the signs of aging. Originally from Africa, the Rose Geranium flower is now found all over the world. Its essential oil is distilled from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the plant and is used for aromatherapy as well as its many skincare benefits. As a key ingredient in our Clarifying Toner, we’d like to take a look at what this mighty flower has to offer.

Antioxidant Benefits

Rose Geranium Extracts are rich in antioxidants, which reduce the cell's reaction to oxidative stress caused by environmental factors such as pollution, UV radiation, or pollen. While the research in this area is ongoing, antioxidants may have a profound effect on skin health.

Anti-inflammatory Properties

This study on the effects of Rose Geranium on wounds in animals concluded that it may be a safe and effective alternative to traditional anti-inflammatories. This means it may be helpful in addressing common skincare issues as well, such as acne or rosacea. It has also been shown to have antibacterial effects, which may provide additional benefits when it comes to acne-prone skin. 

Aromatherapy:

Rose Geranium has long been used in aromatherapy to address stress and anxiety. Its subtle, calming scent can help quiet the mind and spirit. We just think it adds a wonderful natural fragrance to our products.

Moisturizing:

The Rose Geranium’s essential oil also provides weightless hydration to help promote more balanced and smoother and supporting skin’s natural elasticity. It penetrates easily into skin, keeping it supple and soft.

This beautiful, delicate flower packs a host of benefits for your skin and general well-being. We’re proud to feature it as one of the active ingredients in our popular Clarifying Toner.
