Wild Rose (Rosa canina or Rosa damascena) petals contain a rich array of volatile essential oils (including geraniol and phenylethanol), condensed tannins, and flavonoids. These active compounds provide a gentle, soothing astringent effect that calms red, angry skin conditions, reduces oil production, and tightens capillaries. Its beautiful, natural aroma acts directly on the limbic system to relieve anxiety and lift the spirit.
