Gentle Rose – Refreshing Hydrating Facial Serum
Lightweight serum with rose hydrosol, pentylene glycol and hyaluronic acid
Gentle Rose is a lightweight water-based serum for skin that needs extra hydration, comfort and freshness. Rose hydrosol gives the formula a delicate floral character, hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture, and pentylene glycol works as a humectant while improving skin feel.
In this updated version, chamomile essential oil has been omitted because it cannot disperse evenly in a water-based serum without a solubiliser. Cosgard has also been added to provide proper preservation.
The serum is particularly suitable for:
- dehydrated skin,
- dry and sensitive skin,
- skin that feels tight,
- dull and tired-looking skin,
- morning and evening skincare.
Ingredients for 100 g
- 89.2 g rose hydrosol
- 5 g pentylene glycol

- 0.6 g Cosgard
Method
Combine the rose hydrosol and pentylene glycol.
