Rosemary - The Best (Unkept) Secret in Beauty

       Ever since we can remember, rosemary has been present in haircare and skincare, thanks to all of its wonderful properties. There are more than a few reasons why rosemary has been a staple of so many beauty routines for centuries, and it's why we’ve included it in our formulas.

     Rosemary has been used in traditional beauty and medicinal practices since around 5000 BCE by Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans. By the time the Middle Ages rolled around, rosemary was being used for everything from preventing hair loss to treating eczema, and even sharpening memory. Greek scholars used to don garlands of rosemary to remain alert during their exams. Once in Europe, it soon spread to the Americas throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. Drought-resistant and growing all over the world, rosemary contains several antioxidant compounds that make it perfect for haircare and skincare.

     Rosemary protects both the hair and skin from premature aging and damage, and anti-inflammatory properties make it extra useful for people with skin sensitivities. When it comes to haircare, rosemary improves circulation in the scalp, is a natural astringent and has antimicrobial and antifungal properties. As a result, rosemary promotes hair growth, balances an oily scalp and tones the skin while keeping blemishes at bay. The cherry on top is the invigoratingly refreshing scent that is both soothing and stimulating, and is used in many aromatherapy treatments, massages and steam rooms.
