After the last post about oily cleansing gels, I received a lot of e-mails; your interest in this soap-free cleanser product has exceeded my expectations and frankly I am so happy that you have started making your own oleogels! Mostly, I was glad you modified it to your skin type and your age group from 15 to 65 years old.

My obsession with roses is well-known and while we are in the heart of winter, I decided to make a rich and pink moisturizing lotion with an airy and velvety texture. It leaves the skin soft and hydrated and is suitable for hands and body.

what a rose can say?

Greek mythology is full of stories about our beloved rose, love stories, stories of mystery and passion; legends or reality? it doesn’t matter. All have said and written to honour the majesty of the king of flowers. Not unfairly.

The rose of Venus which became also a symbol for rebel movements, is grown in Greece since the  Bronze Age, while in China and Persia exist at least for five thousands years. Reports about rose we can find in Herodotus, in Theophrastus and Pliny, while “paved streets with rose petals” can be found in the history of Romans, Egyptians and Persians.
