The FACE Cream

Ingredient Descriptions

Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil)

A light, nourishing oil that softens and moisturizes the skin, making it ideal for daily facial care. It absorbs easily and supports smooth, comfortable skin. It is rich in vitamin E, fatty acids, and anti-inflammatory compounds and helps soothe dry, itchy, or inflamed skin, making it a great base for all four of the following herbs.

– Rose Petals (Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract)

• Hydrating and soothing—great for dry or sensitive skin.
• Rich in antioxidants, especially vitamin C, which helps support collagen production and brighten the skin.
• Gentle astringent properties can help reduce redness and refine pores.

– Helichrysum (Helichrysum Italicum Flower Extract)

• Potent anti-inflammatory—fantastic for irritated, inflamed, or mature skin.
• Supports skin regeneration and scar healing (excellent for aging or damaged skin).
• Rich in flavonoids and antioxidants to protect from environmental stressors.

– Hibiscus (Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract)

• Known as the “Botox plant”—contains natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) that promote gentle exfoliation and improve skin tone and texture.
• High in antioxidants (anthocyanins) that help with elasticity and fight signs of aging.
• Brightens dull skin and helps reduce hyperpigmentation.

– Rose Hips (Rosa Canina Fruit Extract)

Rose hips (the fruit of the rose plant, typically from Rosa canina or Rosa rubiginosa) are packed with skin-regenerating nutrients, particularly when infused into oil. Rosehips are known for the following:

1. Rich in Vitamin C Precursors

• Boosts collagen production
• Helps fade hyperpigmentation
• Brightens dull skin

2. Provitamin A (Beta-carotene)

• Supports skin renewal
• Can help improve skin texture and reduce signs of aging

3. Antioxidants & Flavonoids

• Protects against free radical damage
• Improves skin tone and elasticity

4. Mild Astringent & Anti-inflammatory

• Calms inflammation and supports healing of acne-prone or irritated skin

5. Fatty Acids (in trace amounts from fruit)

• Seedless hips retain a bit of linoleic and linolenic acid, which help nourish and repair the skin barrier

Rosehip Oil (Rosa Canina Fruit Oil) – A lightweight oil rich in essential fatty acids, rosehip oil helps support a healthy-looking complexion and contributes to a more even, radiant skin tone.

Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera Biennis Oil) – Known for its smooth, silky texture, this oil helps hydrate and condition the skin, leaving it feeling supple and soothed.

TMS-50 (Emulsifying Wax Blend) (INCI: Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20) – A gentle, plant-based emulsifier that blends oils and water together into a smooth, stable lotion. It also contributes to a soft, creamy skin feel and easy spreadability.

Stearic Acid – A fatty acid derived from plant oils that helps thicken the lotion and improve texture. It also creates a soft, protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture.

Glycerin (Glycerin) – A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, promoting lasting hydration and helping to maintain a smooth, plump appearance.

Rose Hydrosol (Rosa Damascena Flower Water) – A gentle floral water that adds light hydration and a subtle, refreshing scent. It enhances the overall sensory experience and helps the skin feel calm and refreshed.

Dry Flow Powder (INCI: Silica) – This ultra-fine, cosmetic-grade powder helps give the lotion a smooth, silky feel and a soft, non-greasy finish. It gently absorbs excess oil without drying out the skin, leaving it feeling fresh and velvety. The type of silica used in skincare is very different from industrial forms — it’s specifically made to be gentle, safe, and effective for cosmetic use.

AHA – Lactic Acid (Lactic Acid) – An alpha hydroxy acid used in low cosmetic concentrations to gently smooth the skin’s surface, improving overall texture and promoting a fresher-looking complexion.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – An antioxidant that helps support the skin’s appearance while also preserving the freshness of the oils in the formula.

Silk Amino Acids (Silk Amino Acids) – These lightweight, water-soluble proteins help condition and soften the skin, enhancing smoothness and providing a luxurious skin feel.

Optiphen Plus (Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid) – A broad-spectrum, paraben-free preservative that keeps your lotion fresh and stable while being gentle on the skin.

Rose Absolute Essential Oil

2. Anti-Aging & Cell Regeneration

• Rich in antioxidants (like citronellol and geraniol) that help fight free radical damage, one of the leading causes of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Supports skin regeneration, which makes it valuable for improving skin texture, tone, and reducing fine lines.

3. Calming & Redness-Reducing

• Excellent for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or inflamed skin.
• Its anti-inflammatory effects help reduce redness, calm irritation, and even out blotchy complexions.

4. Enhances Skin Tone and Radiance

• Rose absolute has subtle astringent properties that help tighten pores and brighten the skin.
• Leaves a natural glow and radiance to dull or aging skin.

5. Emotional Benefits (Bonus in Skincare)

• Rose absolute is known for its uplifting and heart-opening scent—great for a facial product because emotional well-being also impacts the appearance of the skin.
• Can add a luxurious aromatherapy dimension to your product.

Adding Rose Absolute Essential Oil to the combination of rose hydrosol, infused sweet almond oil with rose petals, helichrysum, hibiscus, rose hips, and lactic acid (AHA), complements this lotion beautifully by:

• Reinforcing the rose-based theme (petals, hips, hydrosol)
• Adding depth of fragrance and gentle astringency
• Enhancing the soothing, anti-aging, and regenerative profile of the lotion.
