ROSEMARY OIL
Steam-distilled from the flowering tops of Rosmarinus officinalis, rosemary oil is concentrated in cineole, camphor, and rosmarinic acid derivatives that stimulate circulation, invigorate dull skin, and deliver potent antioxidant protection. It supports clarity, strengthens tissue, and enhances vitality. Energetically, rosemary is sharp and clarifying, awakening both skin and spirit with alertness and strength.
How it works on the skin
Circulation and oxygenation: Cineole stimulates microcirculation, improving nutrient and oxygen delivery to skin cells. This heightened blood flow brings clarity and vibrancy to dull or congested complexions.
Antioxidant protection: Rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid scavenge free radicals, shielding the skin from oxidative damage caused by UV exposure and pollution. This slows the appearance of premature aging and helps maintain firmness.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Rosemary’s compounds regulate inflammatory mediators, calming swelling and irritation while supporting the recovery of sensitive or reactive skin.
Sebum-balancing action: Camphor gently astringes and refines pores, making rosemary helpful in oily, blemish-prone, or combination skin types.
Tissue strength and resilience: Clinical studies highlight rosemary’s ability to support fibroblast activity, encouraging collagen and elastin preservation for firmer, more resilient skin.
Purification and clarity: Its antimicrobial action helps clear surface congestion and rebalance the microbiome, minimizing breakouts without stripping essential moisture.
The sensory effect
Rosemary’s crisp, herbal scent is both clarifying and fortifying. On a neurosensory level, cineole enhances alertness, focus, and mental clarity, while reducing feelings of fatigue. This stimulation of both skin and mind makes rosemary a true ally in awakening vitality.
Energetic signature
Within Forrestine’s philosophy, rosemary embodies sharp clarity and strength. It awakens, energizes, and fortifies, cutting through stagnation and confusion—both in the skin and in the spirit. Rosemary is the essence of clear air and clear thought: brisk, invigorating, and brimming with vitality.
