The Mythological Rose 🌹
a flower ritualized and revered like no other in our history. She is the goddess of flowers.
The Rose Myth of Aphrodite:
Chronos cut Ouranus genitalia off into the sea and white roses appeared from the sea foam that dripped off Aphrodite when she was born. The white colour represented her innocence and purity. Later in her life, she bled on a white rose while trying to heal the wounded Adonis. This created red roses, representing passion and desire.
Ancient sculptor Pygmalion made a statue that was representing his ideal of womanhood and named it Galatea. (Galatea Sea Nymph, creator of sea foam) According to the myth, Venus the Roman goddess of love, s*x, beauty and fertility brought the statue to life.
The Greek Eros is also cited as the culprit behind the existence of a rose’s prickle (aka thorn). Eros loved his roses. One day, while leaning in to kiss his most beloved rose, Eros was stung by a nectar gathering bee hiding inside the flower. Aphrodite gifts Eros with a magical quill of arrows to help him settle the score, and the thorns are seen as the places where his arrows missed their mark.

Distillation is an act of magic. While we can explain the process – heat, evaporation, transpiration and condensation – in doing so we bring forth the essence of a plant. Molecules, previously held in and between the cells of its parts, reveal themselves to us in an alchemical mixture we know today as hydrosols.
Hydrosols are slightly acidic and mimic perfectly the skin’s natural PH, therefore they are an ingredient of choice to heal and regenerate any skin types and problems.
