Description

I have been using the Organic Rose Toner this way for years, both at home and when travelling, re-using the same cotton wipes over and over again.

Perfect for even very sensitive skin. No harsh ingredients. Rose is cooling, soothing and complemented by the rest of the ingredients in our formula (read on for full ingredients and benefits).

Versatile, soothing and practical. Created to cleanse, tone and refresh both both face and body.

Eco-friendly and endlessly re-usable, these go hand in hand with our original Organic Rose Toner, which is the beautifully gentle, plant-powered liquid they are pre-soaked in and which can be used again and again to re-soak them with the refreshing goodness.

Uses & Directions:

Simply pull out a single wipe and use as required on face and/or body.

Please note that the Organic Rose Toner (and therefore the liquid soaking these wipes) is not completely clear, but slightly amber-tinted by the natural green tea and extracts with which the rose water is infused.

We recommend that you collect the used wipes in a delicates/mesh bag to protect them when washing. When dry, simply press them back into the tin and carefully pour the Organic Rose Water Toner over the top, to cover them, making sure you do not over-fill the jar, so that the lid can be screwed tightly shut.

Key ingredients/benefits:
BULGARIAN ROSE WATER (ORGANIC AND ALCOHOL-FREE): Beautifully timeless and refreshing, rose water regenerates, stimulates and hydrates the skin in a ‘softly softly’ sort of way, while its mild astringent quality helps tighten the pores. Suitable for all skin types and especially soothing for skin which is reddened, irritated, inflamed or bothered by acne. The natural and elegant fragrance of rose is also a classic aphrodisiac.

BENTONITE CLAY: Composed of aged volcanic ash, bentonite has an abundance of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, silica, sodium, copper, iron and potassium. Upon contact with water, its electronic charge changes, allowing it to bind with impurities and draw them away from your skin.

GREEN TEA: Calming, anti-inflammatory and full of potent plant antioxidants. The catechins in green tea are antibacterial agents that help fight acne-causing bacteria. See this page for a more lengthy run-down on the magic of tea.

ROSE GERANIUM ESSENTIAL OIL: Distilled from the flowers, leaves and stalks, and traditionally used by the Egyptians to promote radiant skin, this aromatic and sweet oil is rosy and uplifting, its aroma alone enough to earn its presence in this toner… But, just for fun, it is also said to improve circulation, balance sebum levels, help kill the bacteria responsible for acne, calm irritation and fade blemishes. Did I mention it smells beautiful?

ROSE QUARTZ: An extract of rose quartz is included in this toner, simply because it’s one of my favourite stones – I couldn’t resist! Rose quartz is said to be a calming, comforting stone, beneficial for healing emotional matters of the heart and for opening the mind to beauty and love. It’s ground to a powder and prepared with edible glycerin, water and xantham gum in order to drift delicately through the rosewater.

ALOE VERA: A well-known healing plant (a famous sun-damage diminisher!), aloe vera has all manner of brilliances; it helps reduce blemishes, it soothes, it moisturises (it’s decadently hydrating, plumping up skin) and it contains over 75 different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, anthraquinones or phenolic compounds, lignin, saponins, sterols, amino acids and salicylic acid. So now you know.

GENTLE PRESERVATIVE: Gentle preservatives are far less scary than what can happen to your skin if bacteria enters a water-based product & develops intosomething invisibly nasty, but even so, the preservative included in this recipe is lovely and gentle as well as effective. It consists of two naturally-occurring organic compounds, derived from natural ingredients (dehydroacetic acide & benzyl alcohol) and conforms to the requirements of COSMOS (Cosmetics Organic Standard) and ECOCERT.
