Enhance Your Glow With Honey & Roses

Founded by a nutrition therapist and an award-winning herbalist, R.L. Linden & Co. offers eco-friendly beauty products crafted from wild-crafted, plant-based ingredients. This refreshing toner contains organic rose extracts, aspen tree bark, and extracts from sweet-smelling flowers pretty face and morning glory. In addition to beautifying your skin, the toner’s floral notes reduce anxiety.

Get your day off to a rosy start with a fragrant, luxuriant shower. Rose extracts don’t just smell amazing – they’re super hydrating, and will leave the skin feeling soft the whole day. This bar soap forgoes the typical ingredients – like sodium hydroxide and tallow (more commonly known as rendered beef fat) – for a rich blend of botanicals. It’s like bringing the garden into your bathtub.

In the wake of mass-produced skincare, the extensive apocatherical empire of the late, famed Austrian chemist Rudolf Hauschka has developed a cherished reputation as one of the world’s most beloved organic skincare lines. In addition to waxed rose petals and rose hips, their best-selling Rose Day cream contains shea butter and avocado oil for optimum softness. Aside from being a great daily-use product, Dr. Hauschka’s Rose Day Cream helps to reduce redness, hide wrinkles, and repair visibly broken capillaries.

If you lack the patience – or the funds – to procure honey-based beauty products, you can always make your own mask from plain organic honey. Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, the bees’ bounty provides a surprisingly strong defense against acne and clogged pores; the waxy part of the honey, meanwhile, helps to moisturize. Europeans are lucky to be blessed with Seusing Honey (a local company which produces varieties infused with floral extracts and other goodies), but you can find the good stuff at just about any farmer’s market.

Another standout product from R.L. Linden & Co., The Bee Charmer is an exfoliant suitable for use as a daily cleanser, or if left on longer, a facial mask. Besides honey and roses, it’s loaded with organic cacao extract (a great weapon in the war on wrinkles), poppy seeds, and essences including arnica and buttercup.

This non-aerosol deodorant spray is designed to work with your body’s natural detoxification process to fight odors (as compared to conventional antiperspirants, which use dangerous nanoparticles that can be absorbed into the bloodstream). The organic rose extract neutralizes body odor and softens skin with each sweet-smelling spray.

Royal Jelly is, quite literally, the foodstuff of royalty: bee royalty, that is. This super-nutritious secretion is manufactured by worker bees, and it does wonders for the skin. This face peel, developed by the Beverly Hills-based organic beauty company Evolue, soothes where other peels sting. Simply apply it to the face, rinse it off after 45 minutes, and you’ve got the skin of a queen.

Weleda’s Rose Plant soap offers a luxe, creamy lather that’ll leave you smelling like you just wandered through a rose garden. A medley of essential oils helps to soften skin while offering a gentle cleanse. As an added bonus, it’s suitable for use on the hands and face, as well as the body.

Founded in2009 by pharmacist Sabine Zeeck , this apothecary celebrates the herbs and plants that have been enhancing peoples’ beauty for centuries. For a superb soak that’ll calm your nerves and nourish your skin, check out their impressive array of bath salts. This blend, fashioned from dried rose petals and other flowers, transforms your bathwater into a soothing elixir that’s perfumey and pampering.
