Rosemary has a clear, refreshing herbal smell and the main constituents are a-pinene, borneol, ß-pinene, camphor, bornyl acetate, camphene, 1,8-cineole and limonene and has analgesic,astringent, diuretic, rubefacient, stimulant and tonic therapeutic properties in skincare. It is a great ingredient to use in anti-aging creams, as it has excellent toning and binding effects on loose, sagging skin, while at the same time increasing blood flow with its rubefacient action, which in turn promotes proper skin function. It helps to relieve skin congestion and the diuretic attributes help to reduce puffiness andswelling, resulting in firmer skin and better skin tone. It promotes a healthy-looking complexion. Most people normally see rosemary as only of use in hair care products, but in fact it has many outstanding properties that have great value in skin care cosmetics. Since blood circulation is improved with this ingredient, nutrients are carried more effectively to the cells and waste materials from the cells are effectively removed, resulting in a cleared complexion.
