Skincare ingredients

Why have we chosen Bulgarian rose as the main ingredient in our skincare?

Bulgarian rose (Rosa Damascena) is one of the world's most exclusive and sought-after flowers, known for its unique fragrance and exceptional skincare benefits. It is grown in Bulgaria's famous Rose Valley and distilled into an essential oil – often called "liquid gold", as it takes thousands of roses to extract just a single drop.

With over 300 active nutrients, Bulgarian rose is a true beauty ingredient that deeply moisturizes, protects, and soothes the skin. It is rich in antioxidants and helps maintain healthy, radiant skin. At the same time, its aromatherapeutic properties have a stress-relieving effect, lift the mood, and create a sense of well-being.

Bulgarian rose is more than just a flower – it is a holistic experience of luxury, beauty, and well-being.

Allergic Reactions

Rose ingredients can potentially cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Although they are natural and often used for their beneficial properties, some people may experience skin irritation, redness, or other allergic reactions. We always recommend performing a patch test before using our products on the face to ensure that no allergic reaction occurs.

Damask rose is also known for its calming and relaxing effect on the mind and can help reduce stress and anxiety. Due to its unique aromatherapeutic properties, rose is used in many skincare products to achieve beautiful and healthy skin.

Steam Distillation

is a technique used to extract essential oils from plants. It involves heating plant material in a sealed container using steam, which releases the essential oils, which are then collected in a separate container. The steam is then passed through a cooler, where it condenses into water and the oils are separated from the water. Steam distillation is one of the most common methods for extracting essential oils, and it is a gentle process that preserves most of the natural properties in the extracted oils.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our body, responsible for retaining moisture in our tissues and skin. It is a type of glycosaminoglycan, which is a molecular compound composed of sugars and amino acids.

In skincare, hyaluronic acid is often used as a key ingredient in hydrating and anti-aging products. Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to bind moisture to the skin and maintain a healthy moisture balance. This makes it a popular ingredient in facial creams, serums, masks, and other products aimed at improving skin hydration and elasticity.

Hyaluronic acid can help reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles and give the skin a firmer and more youthful appearance. It can also help soothe and relieve dry and irritated skin, as it has a refreshing and softening effect.

Hyaluronic acid can be found in various molecular weights, and some products contain low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, which is able to penetrate deep into the skin to deliver moisture and improve skin texture and radiance.

Squalane

Squalane is a popular ingredient in skincare, known for its ability to provide moisture and protection to the skin. Plant-based squalane is a vegetable alternative to traditional squalane, which is typically extracted from shark liver oil.

Squalane is often made from sugar beets, olive oil, rice, or other plant sources. It has a chemical structure similar to the natural squalane found in our skin, and therefore it is easily absorbed by the skin and can help maintain a healthy skin barrier.

It helps reduce transepidermal water loss while adding moisture and smoothness to the skin. It also has an antioxidant effect that can protect against environmental stressors, such as pollution and UV rays. Plant-based squalane is especially useful for people with dry and sensitive skin, as it can help reduce dryness and irritation.

Squalane is often found in the form of serums, facial oils, and moisturizers. It can be used alone or in combination with other ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid or ceramides, to improve skin hydration and protection.

Ceramide

Ceramides are an important ingredient in skincare that helps maintain a healthy skin barrier and protect the skin from environmental stressors.

Ceramides are a type of lipid (fat) found naturally in our skin. They play an important role in maintaining the skin's moisture barrier by sealing water and nutrients into the skin and protecting against dehydration and harmful environmental influences. A healthy skin barrier is crucial for maintaining a healthy skin condition, as a weakened skin barrier can lead to dry skin, irritation, and skin problems.

In skincare, ceramides are often used as a key ingredient in hydrating and protective products. Ceramides can help rebuild the skin's natural lipid barrier, which can improve skin hydration and elasticity and reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. Ceramides can also help protect the skin from environmental stressors and irritants that can damage the skin barrier.

Ceramides are often found in the form of creams, serums, and masks formulated to improve the skin's moisture barrier and protect against external influences. They are suitable for all skin types, but especially for those with dry and irritated skin or those exposed to harmful environmental influences, such as pollution and sun damage.
