Penny Frances Apothecary
Imagine blooms opening, their velvety petals glinting with drops of dew that reflect in the morning sun. Let this beautiful rose polish transport you to where the lilting boughs of coconut palms sway across the white sands of a remote tropical beach.
This delicate rose-scented facial polish softens, plumps, and hydrates while bringing a gentle toning action. Rose-infused cane sugar is a natural source of glycolic acid that gently buffs the skin, encouraging cell turnover, while restorative Shea butter, and tropical oils of hibiscus and coconut work in tandem leaving your skin beautifully radiant, refreshed, and renewed.
Rose Centifolia, also known as Rose De Mai, Rose Morocco, Rose Maroc, Provence rose, and cabbage rose possesses a deep, rich, rosy-spicy, honey-like aroma and is a tender, uplifting, and beautifully soothing oil. Used throughout history for its evocative, delicate fragrance and visual beauty, roses encourage feelings of ecstasy and contentment and are esteemed for being metaphorical heart openers.
Bulgarian Rose Extract also known as attar of roses, and one of the most revered oils on the planet is an alluring and truly seductive oil. It is extracted via gentle steam distillation and comes from the Damask rose (Rosa Damascene) producing a sticky, pale yellow, or olive green oil with an intriguing, complex, warming, and beautifully sensual scent.
Organic Coconut Milk Extract has naturally soothing, comforting properties that replace moisture in dehydrated skin. It has a beautifully fresh coconut aroma and has rich, fatty, milky nourishment to soothe and condition inflamed areas of the skin.
Hibiscus Extract is abundant in vitamin c and antioxidants that help heal damage to our skin from pollution and sun exposure. It's a natural source of alpha_hydroxy acids (AHAs), which have the ability to unclog pores and treat oily skin. The AHAs found in hibiscus, specifically malic acid and citric acid, gently exfoliate and brighten the skin. They can also help with hyper-pigmentation and skin clarity.
French Pink Clay hails from France and is an exquisite rose colour. This particular clay has specific benefits to the skin with its gentle exfoliating and polishing properties, detoxifying and bringing a fresh, rejuvenated, glowing complexion.
Ritual Use this polish as a skin-softening facial mask while relaxing in the bath- a calming experience for every sense. Dampen your skin with warm water then apply a teaspoon of rose polish to your face, lips, neck, shoulders, and décolleté. Gently massage into skin, using delicate circular motions, then let it rest for at least 10 mins while the botanicals work their magic. When you're ready, place a warm, steamy face cloth over your face and inhale the fragrant flower aromas. Gently wipe away and rinse until your face feels clean, fresh, and reawakened. Complete with Penny Frances' Rose Geranium Hibiscus Botanical Mist.
