Single Farm Hydrosol - California Rose

Description

Laurel Skin Care Single Farm Hydrosol - California Rose.  We love Rose for the multitude of benefits it provides for our skin. Roses are incredible for hydration, barrier repair, antioxidant activity, as well as plumping and firming the skin – to name a few things!

The scent of Laurel Skin Care Single Farm Hydrosol - California Rose smells fresher, like a rose garden after a rain, and less like an intensely floral perfume. The scent is more well-rounded and herbaceous. Earthy notes can be picked up alongside the intoxicating scent of rose petals.

For all skin types, 100% Whole Plant Organic, 1 Beneficial Active Ingredient

Size: 100ml

California Rose ethical practices

California Rose vs. Bulgarian Rose ethical practices: 

However, most of us are not aware that Rose is a beauty crop that is incredibly vulnerable to forced labor, unethical treatment, and unfair wages. Concerned growers have staged protests against distillery houses, demanding fair wages, yet Bulgarian Rose prices remain low. This points to unethical practices, and unfortunately, the Fair Trade Organization cannot keep up. As a company, Laurel Skin Care is responsible for close to 4 tons of fresh Rose petals annually, and we have been working on cultivating a source for California grown Roses for nearly a decade. While we haven’t yet been able to completely free ourselves from all the Bulgarian Rose supply concerns, we are thrilled to be able to offer this California sourced hydrosol in limited quantities again this year. While this single-farmed, artisan-distilled hydrosol is no doubt more expensive than its Bulgarian counterparts, here is what you are supporting with your purchase:

– The moral understanding that this is what Rose petal distillations cost, if not more. We are doing our best to raise awareness in the industry toward more ethical labor standards, and this is a part of that effort.

– The essential oil has not been removed from this distillation, ensuring potency and efficacy. One drop of Rose essential oil contains 60 roses, and is valued close to $40 per ml. You will feel the superior hydration from this rare type of distillation. 

How to Use

Shake product well with each use and mist directly and generously onto clean skin, prior to a Serum or Balm.

Store this product in a cool, dry, and dark place. Use within 6 months of opening and within the use by date noted on the bottom of the bottle.

Laurel Says:

Devotion to Slow Beauty: This hydrosol is special to me, because it’s something I’ve been working toward for years. It has long broken my heart at how well our California climate supports the growth of Roses, but I haven’t been able to source this ingredient here. The reason for that is because Rose is so labor intensive to grow, and growing it in the United States would out-price this ingredient from the beauty industry. So, before you ask why it’s so expensive for a Rose hydrosol, you should know that this ingredient would be double the price that it is now according to industry pricing standards! We chose intentionally to keep it as low as we possibly could in order to share it with you. I have communicated with this Rose farmer (or you could say ‘stalked’ or ‘hounded’ this Rose farmer/artisan distiller) for years now, as the Roses were just being planted when we first connected. I am honored to finally be able to share a Rose hydrosol with the world that I can say without any hesitation is good for the planet and good for all people involved.

Brand Bio

Laurel Skin Care is a flower and herb based facial care line, firmly rooted in mindful beauty rituals, taking purity and efficacy to a new level by using the highest quality, artisan ingredients. A 100% organic, raw, unrefined, whole plant line, Laurel Skin Care sources directly from bio-dynamic farms, handcrafting each product with love, integrity and unparalleled purity. Every formula is alcohol and water free, and made using the purest, most effective vibrant plants. Whether in spa or at home, Laurel Skin Care believes beauty should be a loving ritualistic practice that begins with nurturing self-care.

Our promise to our customers and ourselves is to never use parabens, synthetic fragrances, endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, GMOs, non-organically grown plants, or any toxic chemical of any kind. Laurel Skin Care WPO is committed to your health, well-being and your beautiful skin. It is a common misconception that putting toxins on your face is actually good for your skin – we beg to differ. A synthetic antioxidant in the presence of an abundance of carcinogens isn’t even remotely as powerful as pure antioxidants found in whole plants. Your skin can only handle so much harsh chemical treatment, before it starts to become harmful to your skin.

The Laurel Skin Care line is also about taking time to care for yourself. We are strongly rooted in the spa and resort industry, which has taught us that slowing down and taking time to have a cup of tea and take a bath, really does take years off for the mind, body, and spirit. Everything we do is done with love; from the season it takes to grow our plants, to the months our handmade blends sit steeping, to the minutes we spend bottling a batch. From the farm to the lab – the whole making process is done with love and care, and you will feel that when you use our products. Make your skin care routine something you take time to do for yourself and it will be that much more powerful.
