Derived from the Angelica plant, this extract is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help nourish and protect the skin. The hydrating properties of Angelica leaf extract make it particularly effective in treating dryness, as it works by retaining moisture in the skin, ensuring it remains soft and supple. Plus, its anti-inflammatory qualities help soothe irritated skin, reducing the redness and discomfort commonly associated with dryness.
Product Spotlight: Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner
Adding a facial toner to your cleansing routine is particularly beneficial for those with dry skin, as it can help restore the skin's pH balance to replenish moisture levels. Our Rose Hydration Toner not only delivers a plethora of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to your skin with Angelica leaf extract, but it is also formulated with hyaluronic acid and glycerin to attract and maintain moisture.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is celebrated in the realm of skincare, particularly for its ability to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. Known for its remarkable capacity to retain up to 1,000x its weight in water, HA effectively quenches dry skin, ensuring it stays moisturized. It works by attracting and holding moisture in the skin cells, creating a cushioning effect that smooths out fine lines and wrinkles. Gentle and suitable for all skin types, HA is an ideal addition to skincare routines focused on combating dryness.
Product Spotlight: Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Moisturizer
Moisturizer is essential to dry skin, and our best-selling Rose Moisturizer works all day to strengthen the skin’s barrier while infusing deep hydration for dewy, plump skin. Formulated with a duo of high and low molecular weight HAs, as well as a trio of rose extracts, this science-backed moisturizer uses time-release technologies to deliver long-lasting hydration for all-day comfort and care.
Sourced from the Yarrow plant, this extract is known for its healing and soothing properties, which are essential in treating and alleviating symptoms of dryness. Yarrow extract is rich in flavonoids and tannins—compounds that offer antioxidant benefits and help maintain the skin's natural barrier, which has oftentimes been compromised in the case of dry skin. Its ability to promote better circulation makes it effective in reducing dryness and improving skin texture. It also has anti-inflammatory and astringent qualities, which help calm irritated skin and reduce redness.
Product Spotlight: Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Emulsion
Dry skin can sometimes present as oily, as the skin works to restore moisture levels by overproducing oils. In this case, a lightweight emulsion is your best friend. The Rose Emulsion instantly hydrates skin with its weightless, non-comedogenic formula. With soothing yarrow, hydrating HA, and balancing rose flower oil, enjoy a more refined look and hydrating comfort, without the greasy finish.
Derived from squalene—a naturally occurring substance in the body—squalane is a hydrogenated, stable version that is commonly sourced from olives, rice bran, or sugarcane. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it an excellent moisturizer, capable of deeply penetrating the skin without clogging pores. Squalane mimics the skin’s natural oils, providing intense hydration and creating a protective barrier to prevent moisture loss. This makes it exceptionally effective in treating and preventing dryness. Additionally, squalane’s non-comedogenic nature means it doesn't contribute to breakouts, which can be a concern with heavier oils.
Product Spotlight: Rose Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum
The fastest way to dewy skin? Our new oil-infused serum! Balancing oil and water in two phases, Rose Serum nourishes and softens skin for a plumped effect. Squalane and other lightweight oils provide a silky feel and up to 24 hours of hydration.
This succulent plant is renowned for its powerful hydrating properties, owing to its high water content and the rich array of polysaccharides it contains. It's also packed with vitamins and minerals that help protect the skin barrier, and its anti-inflammatory properties make it incredibly effective in calming irritated skin and reducing redness. The cooling sensation of aloe vera provides immediate relief from the discomfort often associated with dry, flaky skin. This is especially beneficial for those with dry skin, which is prone to irritation. Finally, aloe vera aids in improving the skin's overall texture and elasticity, leading to a smoother and softer complexion.

This extract is deeply hydrating and offers a multitude of benefits for maintaining healthy skin. It contains a rich array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that work synergistically to nourish the skin deeply. Vitamins A and C, in particular, help to bolster the skin’s natural barrier, locking in moisture and preventing dehydration.

Have a big day ahead? Rose Sleeping Mask will treat your skin overnight. The 2-step formula features a cooling gel essence to instantly replenish moisture, as well as a silky cream mask to lock it in.

Rosewater, a byproduct of the distillation process used to extract rose essential oil, has been employed in skincare for centuries, celebrated for its gentle yet effective properties. One of the foremost benefits of rosewater lies in its natural ability to hydrate and revitalize the skin. This makes rosewater an ideal touch-up mist, as it can minimize pores while simultaneously providing a burst of hydration.
Rosewater is also rich in antioxidants, which play a crucial role in protecting the skin from environmental aggressors and oxidative stress. Antioxidants work to neutralize free radicals that can damage skin cells, preventing premature aging and the exacerbation of dryness. By safeguarding the skin, rosewater ensures a healthier, more resilient complexion.
Product Spotlight: Rose Pore-Minimizing Hydration Mist
Dry skin girlies know the struggle—your skin soaks up the products from your morning routine, but feels dry and lackluster just a few hours later. This is where a hydrating mist comes in handy. A gentle spritz before or after makeup, and anytime you need a refreshing touch-up, will infuse your skin with a soothing rose scent and calming rosewater for lasting softness.
Cucumber provides an instant hydrating effect, helping to replenish and maintain skin moisture levels. This natural hydration helps combat dryness and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and revitalized. The soothing properties of cucumber extract can help alleviate irritation and redness associated with dry skin. Its calming effect makes it an excellent choice for those dealing with sensitive or reactive skin conditions. Moreover, cucumber extract's ability to cool the skin provides immediate comforting relief, promoting a calmer and more balanced complexion.
Product Spotlight: Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream
The eye area is particularly prone to signs of dryness as the skin is much thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face. Treat your eyes to a rush of hydration with the cooling gel that provides continuous moisture that lasts up to 30 hours. With cooling cucumber extract, nourishing rose oil, and antioxidant golden root extract, your eyes will enjoy instant illumination.
