Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Day Cream Reviews

Review of Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Day Cream
By Nicky Boyd

Packaging: Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Day Cream comes in a glass jar with white plastic lid.

Application: A light, silky cream which sinks quickly into the skin.

Ingredients: The Anti-ageing Day Cream contains rosa mosqueta, an oil pressed from the hips of a wild rose that grows in the Chilean Andes. South American women have used this oil for many years as beauty oil. Rosa mosqueta contains a very high concentration of Essential Fatty Acids, used to combat signs of skin ageing plus trans-retinoic acid – a naturally occurring compound related to vitamin A - which is why it’s so great for damaged skin. The cream also contains argan oil which is produced from the nuts of the argan tree from Morocco (a very resistant tree which can live from 150 to 200 years). Argan oil has anti-ageing and natural anti-wrinkle properties. The cream also contains collagen-boasting coltsfoot (crushed flowers which are said to cure skin conditions), horsetail (an herb used in cosmetics for rejuvenation) and lady’s mantle (an herb used for toning skin). Most of Barefoot Botanicals Products contain these ingrediants.

Results: I was worried that as it’s an ‘anti-ageing’ cream it would leave my skin dry but actually my skin feels moisturised as well as toned. It dries quickly to a matt finish so it’s perfect for putting my usual mineral powder on top of it before I head off for the day. It also smells wonderful which is really important.

Pros:
Vegan
GM free
Cruelty free
100% plant origin

Cons:
None

Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Day Cream (£22.95) and Barefoot Botanicals Products are available at naturisimo.com
