ROSEMARY

Rosemary, with the scientific name Rosmarinus officinalis, is a very common aromatic plant on the Mediterranean coast that can reach up to 2 metres in height.

It has been used in traditional medicine since ancient times, due to the multiple functions it has dedicated to history. The external applications are the best known of all. However, the current interest in this fragrant plant lies in the strong antioxidant effect of some of its components.

It has many benefits in skin and hair care. It is noted for its moisturising and nourishing properties. It is a powerful antioxidant, ideal for treating acne-prone skin and redness.

It stimulates hair growth and gives it luminosity. It is widely used in dandruff and oily hair treatments.

Rosemary oil has a series of components (such as caffeic acid and flavonoids) that make it a good antioxidant. It nourishes and moisturises the skin and is anti-inflammatory. It is also indicated for hair care. It is antibacterial, controls acne thanks to its healing properties, as well as helping against dermatitis.

Rosemary helps as a photoprotector, in the protection of hair colouring, in the stimulation of hair growth and in the regulation of sebaceous secretion. It is particularly suitable for people with greasy hair, as it regulates the production of sebum on the scalp.

Rosemary essential oil has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties due to its great power to stimulate blood flow and rapid recovery from contractures and muscular pain. It moisturises, softens, protects and helps to leave the skin supple and silky.
