Transform your evening routine into a moment of pure indulgence.
Rose Cold Cream is where The Lovely Rose Apothecary began. It was the very first product I ever sold, and when that first order arrived, I didn't have the rose otto to make it, so I drove an hour to an apothecary, arrived just before they closed, and went home to make that very first jar. Every jar since has been made with that same care.
Based on an authentic 1904 recipe, it melts away makeup, cleanses, and moisturizes in one luxurious step, leaving dry and mature skin soft, nourished, and comfortable by morning. It's everything your skin needs at night, and nothing it doesn't.
It's the evening step of the Rose ritual: Skin Tonic and Vanishing Cream in the morning, Cold Cream at night.
Best for: Dry skin · Mature skin · Removing makeup gently
Handmade in small batches · 4 oz

How to Use
If you wear makeup, double cleanse:
Massage a walnut-sized amount over your dry face and neck, right over your makeup. The cream melts as you massage, lifting makeup away. Remove it with a warm, damp cloth.
Follow with a quarter-sized amount to cleanse your skin. Remove it with the warm cloth, and gently pat in whatever remains as an overnight treatment. There's no need to rinse.
If you don't wear makeup: Massage a quarter-sized amount over your dry face and neck, remove it with a warm, damp cloth, and pat in whatever remains.
Key Ingredients
Jojoba Esters: Similar to the skin's own natural oils, they help the cream glide on and leave skin soft without feeling greasy.
Sweet Almond Oil: Gentle and rich in fatty acids and vitamins, it softens and conditions dry skin.
Rosehip Seed Oil: Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, it helps skin look smoother, more even, and more radiant.
Rose Hydrosol: Deeply hydrating and gently softening, a classic for dry and mature skin.
Rose Otto Essential Oil: Distilled from fresh rose petals, it softens and refreshes the skin and gives the cream its delicate scent.

Full Ingredients
Jojoba esters, Beeswax, Sweet almond oil, Rosehip seed oil, Rose hydrosol, Borax, Rose otto essential oil, Linatural (natural preservative).
About borax: Borax has been part of cold cream recipes since 1883. It works with the beeswax as a natural binder, keeping the oils and water together in a smooth, stable cream, and it also helps preserve the cream naturally. We choose this time-honored ingredient over synthetic emulsifiers and preservatives.
