Rosa Gallica Flower Extract
Rosa Gallica Flower Extract is a gentle, natural ingredient derived from the petals of the French rose. Prized in British skincare for its delicate floral scent and soothing properties, it is commonly found in creams, toners, masks and serums. It delivers a touch of classic rose luxury while helping to comfort and condition the skin.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare formulations, Rosa Gallica Flower Extract functions primarily as a skin-conditioning and soothing agent. Rich in natural polyphenols, flavonoids and trace essential oils, it helps to soften the skin, reduce the appearance of redness and provide a mild astringent effect that can refine the look of pores. Its antioxidant nature helps protect the skin from environmental stressors while its subtle rose aroma is frequently used to fragrance products naturally without the need for synthetic perfumes.
