Rose Water has soothing properties that help relieve inflamed, irritated or dry skin. It is proven to safely treat more serious skin conditions such as acne, eczema, rosacea and minimize the appearance of scars. Rose Water transforms your skin’s texture by providing exceptional hydration while treating hyperpigmentation and promoting collagen production. Versatile Rose Water is perfect for all skin types, but because of its superior emollient properties, it is especially beneficial to mature, dry or sensitive skin.

Our roses are harvested in the valley near Kazanlak, at the foot of the Balkan range. Considered the most prized of all roses, the Bulgarian rose valley extends over 80 km and is home to fields of Damask roses that have been growing there for over 300 years. Once the rose bushes bloom, which happens once a year from May to June, the flowers are then harvested in the early mornings by hand and steam distilled within 24 hours. Our Rose Water is 100% natural and doesn’t contain any additives, preservatives, synthetic substances, or fragrances. Sustainably grown and processed.

The word hydrosol is derived from the Latin hydro, meaning “water,” and sol, for “solution.” Hydrosols, also known as hydrolates and plant or floral waters, are produced using the same process as essential oils, the distinction between the two is in the chemical make-up of the end product. During the steam-distillation process, essential oils will float to the top of the distillate where it is removed, leaving behind the watery distillate - the hydrosol. While some manufacturers add essential oils to purified water and call it a plant water, that is not a hydrosol! We use only true hydrosols made from the steam-distillation of fresh plant materials. We never use additives such as synthetic fragrance or preservatives. The hyrdosols are the condensated water produced from the steam. Not only do they hold essential oil molecules, they carry the fluid that was coursing through the plant cells (cellular water) when the plant was gathered. Hydrosols contain between 0.02 –0.05% of the hydrophilic parts of an essential oil, producing a softer fragrance and offering a much milder alternative to essential oils.

Lactobacillus is a powerful broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anti-fungal alternative to synthetic preservatives. It has self-preserving cosmetic actives which make it an effective, consumer-friendly alternative to harmful, synthetic chemicals in the preservation of a wide range of cosmetic applications. Lactobacillus helps maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria on the skin and supports the skin’s microbiome. Lactobacillus ferment is also an effective moisturizer and leaves skin feeling smooth and hydrated. It provides a barrier of protection against harmful bacteria while improving skin density.

Our lactobacillus ferment is a powerful probiotic-based ingredient that originates from the United States and is derived from the fermentation of Lactobacillus acidophilus. The original strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus was isolated from non-GMO corn and soy and has been maintained under laboratory conditions. Since then, it has been cultivated and grown in test tubes or petri dishes as a means to create an abundance of the species. Lactobacillus also produces novel antimicrobial peptides, known as bacteriocins, that are capable of providing broad spectrum antimicrobial protection. During the manufacturing process, lysozyme is added to the ferment filtrate to facilitate a controlled cell lysis to ensure the release of the antimicrobial peptides for maximized activity. Sustainably cultivated and processed.

Vegetable Collagen is a vegan alternative to animal derived collagen, while delivering the same benefits. Binding together the protein fibers produced by corn, soy, and wheat produces an innovative, naturally derived vegetable collagen equivalent with anti-aging power. Corn, soy, and wheat plants are plentiful in nature and provide an easily accessible path to mimic the amino acid composition of animal collagen. Vegetable Collagen imitates the structure of collagen and provides a functional equivalent that supports the elasticity and suppleness of skin while improving skin density and hydration.

Our Vegetable Collagen is derived from non-GMO corn, wheat, and soy, which are sustainably grown, harvested and processed at different times, throughout the United States. Vegetable Collagen is obtained through an enzymatic hydrolysis (breaking down with water) of the protein from soy, corn and wheat, resulting in 20 amino acids, the primary being hydroxyproline, glycine, proline and arginine, then filtered and concentrated utilizing low temperature evaporation and spray dried to maintain all their beneficial compounds. Sustainably grown and processed.

Tremella also enhances the skin by improving elasticity, brightening the complexion, and it slows the ageing process by promoting cell turnover and encouraging collagen production. When applied topically, Tremella creates a film on the surface of the skin that locks in hydration and helps relieve dryness.

Our Tremella Mushrooms are sustainably grown in the Shandong Province of China, and harvested year-round in a greenhouse using tremella spores on the medium for planting. Tremella polysaccharides are produced by the maceration of dried tremella mushrooms in water. The macerates are then purified, filtered, dried and crushed into powder.

One hectare of land can produce 3.5 to 5 tons of flowers, enough to produce about 1 kg of oil. Bulgarian rose is still considered the most prized of all rose oils. 4,000 kg of flowers yields only 1kg of rose oil. It takes 10,000 roses to fill a single 5ml bottle.
