The Damask rose is a highly fragrant flower with a decidedly captivating color ranging from light pink to a more intense shade. It is a very ancient type of rose that was initially cultivated only in the Middle East, hence its name “Damask or Damask rose,” while today it is grown mainly in Eastern Europe, specifically in Bulgaria, and in Africa, namely Morocco, where precisely because of the presence of this flower there is an area called the “Rose Valley.”

It is considered the queen of roses for its characteristic yet very delicate scent and stands out not only for its very distinctive pink color but also for the number of its petals, which are about 36.

It is a flower that has always been linked to numerous legends and stories, such as the one that defines it as the typical flower of the Roman goddess Venus due to the beauty and grace common to both; also in Christian culture, this flower has a symbolic value as it represents death on the cross of Jesus Christ, chastity, purity, and even entry into Paradise.

Since antiquity, this particular type of rose has been used for a dual purpose: on the one hand, to perfume spaces with its intense scent, composed of over 400 different aromatic substances, and make them more welcoming thanks to its delicate colors; on the other, for its properties and its countless uses in cosmetics, which make it one of the most used flowers in research aimed at body care.

The Damask rose, therefore, is a panacea in the field of cosmetics due to its many properties. It is used:

• to soothe the skin after a sunburn,
• as an anti-inflammatory to alleviate certain skin conditions (such as acne),
• to prevent the formation of blackheads,
• as an anti-aging agent in creams or serums to fight signs of aging and free radicals,
• as a vasoconstrictor to treat redness of the skin on the face and body,
• as an elasticizing and toning agent for the skin to prevent or limit stretch marks.

It is ideal for all skin types, from dry to combination and oily, thanks to its moisturizing, balancing, and purifying properties. It is extremely useful even for pregnant women thanks to its ability to elasticize and regenerate the skin. Furthermore, its active ingredients can be found in creams, serums, masks, oils, and lotions of various types.

Use

Suitable for burning on a heat-resistant saucer with charcoal or in an incense burner with a sieve. The combustion process in an incense burner with a sieve is slower than with charcoal. The incense can easily be mixed with other varieties of incense.
