Rock rose

Rock rose (Cistus ladanifer) is a creeping herb with hairy white flowers native to the eastern Mediterranean, especially the Greek islands. The Latin name is derived from the Greek word “kístē” (box) for the specific distribution of their seeds. Did you know that this aromatic treasure also known as “labdanum” was mentioned several times in the Old Testament?! Rock rose or labdanum flower water tightens mature skin and smoothes fine lines. The sweet warm herbal-musky aroma of the essential oil helps when we need to calm and comfort. It belongs to luxury ingredients, especially in oriental cosmetics and perfumery.
