What Is Rose / Rose Petals?
What It Is
Rose is a botanical material rather than one universal cosmetic ingredient identity. Cosmetic materials may include whole rose flowers or petals, extracts, oils and other preparations, each of which can have a different INCI identity.
What It Does
Depending on the preparation, rose materials can contribute botanical character, sensory qualities, fragrance and skin-conditioning functions.
How It Functions in a Formulation
In bath products, rose may be used as dried botanical material, an extract, an oil or another preparation. The formulation behaviour therefore depends on the physical form and the exact raw material supplied.
Safety and Tolerance
Safety and tolerance should be considered for the specific rose preparation. The source does not support assuming that all rose materials have identical cosmetic properties or that rose automatically provides therapeutic effects.
What the Source Supports
The source supports rose as a family of botanical cosmetic materials whose identity and function depend on preparation. Therapeutic anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing or medicinal claims require evidence for the specific preparation and finished-product use.
