Rosa damascena L.

Origin :
European in origin, it grows spontaneously in the Mediterranean basin.

Description :
This vigorous little bush develops flowers with numerous pinky red petals and grows particularly well at the foot of mountain ranges in sandy and rocky soil.

Properties :
Rose essential oil helps to boost the synthesis of Collagen 3 and thus acts on the elasticity of the skin. Its genoprotective and anti-free radical properties help to protect DNA. This essential oil also has an antiseptic and softening role.

History :
The Rose symbolises vital energy and passionate human or divine love. In the East and later in Europe, Rose was long attributed with quasi-miraculous actions and was prescribed for all kinds of afflictions.
