Product Description
Take your skin on an exotic journey to the Valley of Roses in Morocco with Rose Hips Damask Rose Ester-C Face Spritz. In the sun-drenched oasis valley of Kelaat M'Gouna, millions of roses are turned into soothing anti-aging rose water. Nowhere else in the world do damascene roses grow so fragrantly sweet. Rose Hips Damask Rose Ester-C Face Spritz is produced by a genuine women's cooperative in Morocco, which is certified and supported by the Moroccan government. To make just a few liters of this highly concentrated anti-aging water requires distilling thousands of fragrant damask roses, ensuring its luxurious potency. Unlike other rose waters on the market, our rose water does not contain any synthetic fragrance, color or alcohol. To further enhance the soothing and toning properties of this natural toner, we added rubignosa rose hips hydrosol, which help stop cellular damage, preventing signs of aging and speeding up skin repair. We added Ester-C, a non-acidic type of Vitamin C, to this beauty water. Vitamin C is necessary for the body to produce collagen and when applied topically, it also serves as a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals in the skin. Because Ester-C is non-acidic, it does not irritate the skin, which is such a breakthrough for skin care products.
Rose Hips Damask Rose Ester-C Face Spritz leaves skin silky soft as it tones and hydrates. Add Moroccan Rose Hips Damask Rose Ester-C Face Spritz to your favorite masks for added anti-aging benefits. It is great for tired eyes, dry skin, inflamed skin and so much more. You can soak a cotton ball and apply it on top of eyelids to soothe puffy eyes. During the day, it can be spritzed on the skin to keep it cool, hydrated & moisturized. Add a small amount to a mask along with yogurt to create a soothing and cell-plumping mask.

Rose Hips
Rose hips oil's healing properties are due to its chemical structure. It is one of the richest plant sources of vitamin C. It's also packed with vitamin A and anti-inflammatory fatty acids, such as trans-retinoic acid. This makes rose hips oi great at treating signs of aging and pigmentation, hydrating skin and repairing sun damage. Because of its skin regenerative effects, acne and scar sufferers have seen significant improvement with use of rose hips oil.
Since 2000, Shea Terra has been on a quest for natural beauty wisdom throughout Africa, exploring remote villages, trekking through miles of desert on camel back, and sailing into the depths of Nubia. Our journey has allowed us to tap into a wealth of indigenous knowledge and share these remote beauty secrets with the world. Through our diverse line of skin and hair care products, you can embark on this journey of beauty wisdom with us.
Hydrosol, More Than Just Beauty Water
Hydrosols, also known as Plant Water or Plant Distillate, are by-products of essential oil distillation. Basically, plants go through a steam distillation process to extract the plant's precious essential oils. During this process, vapor passes through parts of the plant and breaks the cells containing essential oil. If a significant amount of essential oil is extracted, the vapor condenses to water and this water condenses at the bottom of the essential oil. Having gone through the hot steam process, this water is sterile as no microorganism can tolerate the hot temperature. In the past, this water was discarded as it was considered a by-product. Nowadays it is packed and sold as floral water, fruit water, condensed water or herbal water for its many benefits. Its significance in the beauty product industry comes from its credential in holding similar beneficial properties as essential oils, albeit being less concentrated. The same cannot be said about teas, infused water, and condensed water as hydrosol is much stronger than these, although hydrosol is gentler than essential oils when it comes to potency and aroma. Plant distillates often have a subtle aroma compared to its pungent essential oil counterpart. However, while it is less potent than essential oil, sometimes it offers benefits that cannot be present in essential oils, such as water-soluble nutrients and components. Hydrosols can be considered safe and gentle for daily and frequent use compared to essential oils. They can also be used for a variety of purposes such as health, skincare, perfumes, and food additives.
Shea Terra is founded by Tammie Umbel, an enterprising super mom, who built the company while homeschooling 14 of her children. Shea Terra grew out of Tammie's vision to develop natural skin care treatments that would not only heal and beautify those who use them, but also empower and enrich the lives of many impoverished villages and families throughout Africa.
Since early 2000, Shea Terra Organics has been working with cooperatives and conservation groups to source natural, organic ingredients in a sustainable and ethical way that would create economic opportunities and preserve wildlife. We share these indigenous, time-tested healing ingredients through our breadth of product lines, which include facial care, body treatments, hair herbals and maternity & newborn remedies
