We incorporate certified organic Tasmanian rosemary essential oil into our vegan skin care soap. Rosemary is native to the Mediterranean region and its use dates back as far as 500 BC/E in Greece and Rome. It was known to stimulate and strengthen memory. The name ‘rosemary’ derives from the Latin "ros" (dew) and "marinus" (sea) – dew of the sea. Its skin benefits are that it:
- Fights acne: its powerful antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and astringent properties work together to clear-up and prevent acne, while its antiseptic properties may halt acne-causing bacteria;
- Unclogs blocked pores: it relieves skin congestion and helps to gently detoxify skin by purifying it from deep within the pores and driving out stale sebum, dead cells, dirt, grime, pollution and germs;
- Smooths fine lines and prevents wrinkles: its antioxidant properties actively fight age-promoting free radicals that steal oxygen from healthy skin cells to cause premature fine lines and wrinkles;
- Tightens and tones skin and minimises large pores: it has great astringent properties to make skin firm and taut – skin pores can contract and appear diminished. These properties also assist to reduce oily skin;
- Clears cellulite: it is a circulatory stimulant — it helps clear cellulite by stimulating the flow of wastes and toxins that sometimes clump up and form cellulite;
- Heals eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions: its anti-inflammatory properties may assist to heal skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and rashes. Its antibacterial abilities assist to keep skin free from germs and other irritants that further aggravate eczema.
The memorable scent of rosemary essential oil in our vegan skin care soap will delicately perfume your skin too!
