Welcome to Autumn, and to Spring for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere. We are pleased to report that our new Sea Buckthorn Night Cream is already helping hundreds of people in the first two months since its introduction. It was developed with great care over quite a period of time, and from the letters we are receiving, it has fully achieved our expectations. You may send for a sample if you haven’t previously tried it.

And now in the last stages of testing are a pair of wonderful new products, our Gentle Linden Shampoo and Gentle Linden Conditioner. Linden Extract (Tilia Cordata) is a natural ingredient derived from the flowers of a tree grown in Europe and the United States. Linden bark extract has traditionally been used to treat blemished skin. The extract from the fragrant linden blossoms is soothing to irritated skin and also has valuable hydrating properties. Look for our announcement of the release date of these exciting new products.

We welcome your questions or comments, which can be emailed to info@rosaceacare.com

MEET HEATHER

POMEGRANATE

Pomegranate, hailed as a superfruit because of its extraordinary antioxidant qualities (three times as rich in antioxidants as red wine or green tea), is being talked about as if it’s the newest discovery of our time. It’s a popular designer color, a liqueur (grenadine), an ice cream, an energy drink, and even the name of a well-known rock band. But pomegranate has a long history of use. It originated in Persia and has been cultivated in Black Sea and Mediterranean regions for centuries. One of the most famous cities in Spain, Granada, is named for the pomegranate, and in fact a pomegranate appears in the Spanish Coat of Arms and the Spanish flag. The French name for the fruit is “la grenade”, and if you’d like to think that the popularity of pomegranate has just exploded on the modern scene, the same word applies to a hand grenade.

At any rate, the many wonderful skin protective properties of the pomegranate are featured in our moisturizing Night Cream, and it also gives the Cream its lovely, all natural fragrance.

WHAT’S IN A NAME

Sea Buckthorn, the remarkable soothing and healing ingredient in our new Night Cream, also has a history that goes back many centuries. It has been used as a healing agent in Eastern medicine for well over a thousand years, and in fact it can be traced as far back as ancient Greece, where it is said to have had a most unusual additional application. The leaf of the Sea Buckthorn was fed to race horses where it was found to improve their health and impart a gloss to their coats. The latter property explains the Latin (and INCI) name on our label of this unique plant: Hippophae Rhamnoides – “shiny horse.”

In other languages, the Sea Buckthorn name is more closely linked to the appearance of the plant. In German, it is called Sanddorn (sand thorn) and in Spanish, Espino Armarillo (yellow briar). It is Finbar in Swedish, Argousier in French, Oblepikha in Russian, and – in case it comes up at your next dinner party – the Mongolians call it Yashildoo Chatsargana.

Let’s keep in touch!
