DIY Creme De la Rose Moisturizer

Crème De la Rose

My recipe for Crème De la Rose is for a sumptuous all-purpose thick and rich moisturizing cream that can be used on your face, body, hands and feet.  You can even massage a tiny bit into your split ends! I added in rose hydrosol which is wonderful for all skin types.  Both macadamia nut oil and medowfoam seed oil are highly prized for being wonderful at helping the skin regenerate.  These oils are highly protective and easily absorbed into the skin leaving it silky, supple and moisturized. Rosehip seed oil is extremely high in essential fatty acids and works to hydrate skin and protect it from dryness.
