Flower Shadow: My Rose Skincare Collection

About love for the scent of roses and creating your own products based on them: hydrolate, oil and floral mist - as gentle care on hot days.

I love the scent of roses. Not perfume, thick, sweet. But real - like in a garden, in the morning, when there is no dust and noise yet. Many brands have cosmetics with roses - from budget to luxury. But I always felt: something is missing. Either silence. Or truth. Or lightness. And then I decided to do everything myself. Not a cream, not a mask - but an aromatic collection of care with roses , which can be applied as a gesture. I called it "Rosée Douce" - soft dew . It has only three products, but they smell like a morning garden.

✿ 1. Rose hydrolat - as a tonic

What you need:

• Damascus rose hydrolate - 50 ml

• Niacinamide 3% – 1.5 ml

• preservative (Cosgard) - 0.6 ml

→ Mix everything, store in glass. Can be used in the morning and evening after washing. → The smell is like an open door to the garden.

✿ 2. Floral mist for body and hair

Refreshes, smells, moisturizes. Ideal in the heat.

Ingredients (per 100 ml):

• rose hydrolate - 60 ml

• lavender water - 20 ml

• glycerin - 5 ml

• panthenol - 1 ml

• rose essential oil (or rose geranium) - 3 drops

• preservative - 1 ml

→ Spray on shoulders, hair, chest, back – as a gesture of care.

✿ 3. Rose oil for face – radiance and protection

Recipe (for 15 ml):

• jojoba oil – 7 ml

• rosehip oil - 6 ml

• CO2 rose extract (or absolute) - 1 drop

• vitamin E - 2 drops

→ Light, gentle, does not clog pores. → On damp skin, in the evening or in the morning - under cream.

I keep all three products on a tray. Sometimes I just look at them, sometimes I apply them - not for the result, but for the touch. And every time I hear: you're home.
