Use in Skin Care and Remedies

What do we associate with the rose? It is strong but also soft, resistant but tender, thorny and at the same time velvety, upright and yet enticing. Only a queen such as the rose can combine these contradictory characteristics, without mixing them up, carrying them side by side and yet governing them and still reflect the purest beauty and harmony in its appearance. It is the harmonious centre of the plant kingdom, an expression of the greatest harmony and in this a queen, not only of the rose family but of all flowers. And this is what makes the rose a reflection of man, what has always attracted man to the rose, so that it has accompanied human culture from time immemorial, suffused its songs and myths, its medicine and its poetry. It shares the art of finding harmonious balance as a healing plant for man.

On account of its harmonising power, the rose can be found as essential rose oil, rose water, rose wax or rose petal extract in almost all the Dr.Hauschka Skin Care range, including the decorative cosmetics. In preparations such as Rose Day Cream, Rose Day Cream light, Firming Mask, Rose Body Moisturizer, Rose Body Oil, Rose Body Wash and Deodorant floral it is paramount, in all others it reigns in secret.

In WALA Medicinal Products the rose is found in fortifying preparations, such as, for example, Rose Iron/Graphite, Globuli velati*, and in varoius Eye drops. Its healing effect on chapped and inflamed skin is displayed in WALA Rosatum Ointment*.
