VERY ROSY in a historical context!

NOTE: This listing is for PERFUMED Cream of Roses, not Natural/ Regular Cream of Roses. For those wanting the original formula. Please note that the scent is more potent than our natural Cream of Roses, but likely not as strong as modern versions of bath and beauty products with their intense scents. Also, it will smell more rosy once applied to warm skin. This is highly perfumed in the historical context.

If you like highly perfumed products and want to smell like a bouquet of roses, then this is your chance. This cream would be perfect for an all-over body moisturizer. It is perfumed, so it will keep you smelling rosey all day long. It’s strongly scented with synthetic Rose Fragrance oil. I was curious to see the difference, so I made a few for funsies. They smell amazing. These are a limited Edition, so if you like them, grab them now. Our cold creams list 6 -12 mo.

General Cream of Roses Description:
Cold Cream has been used throughout history. It was used to clean and soften the skin and keep it clean. The term “Cold” came from the feeling it left on your skin when applied. From the 18th century to the Regency period- cosmetics changed drastically, and yet in a few ways didn’t change very much at all. There was a continued push towards natural products and a very natural look. The white and red were still popular, but they were pushing women away from face paint- even though it was still used by many.

They focused their attention on the younger women in the hopes of getting them hooked on skin creams and face powders. Early in the 19th century was the first time in history that the term “Cosmetics” actually separated into its own category. (we had cool info but had to take it out here- Email us for more info)

Taking care of the skin became the most important step in a ladies’ regime. This is why you started to see a variety of products, such as “Cream of Roses” and different astringents and face washes. The shelves were filled with skincare products. Of course, makeup and cosmetics were still available and could be used, but the amount applied varied throughout the regency time frame.

Cream of Roses was a staple on every woman’s toilette. It was essential (removed). In fact, Cold Creams were used regularly up until the 1960s. We want to change that and bring Cold Cream back. Once you use it, you can’t live without it. It will benefit your complexion and soften your skin.

Question: How is this cold cream different from the 1901 Rose Cold Cream?
I figured we would get this question, so I should address the differences.
Answer:
– This cold cream (Cream of Roses) is an entirely different recipe than its Victorian counterpart. This 1822 cold cream does not have Organic Vegetable Glycerin. Also, this recipe is mostly made from Jojoba Oil which is not in the 1901 Cold Cream recipe. Hopefully, this helps. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

In the warmer months- all of our creams may change consistency- they only need to be put back in the fridge and given a stir. We follow the original recipe, so unlike modern creams- ours may become soupy or even separate… This is normal and nothing to be worried about. Cool them down and give them a stir. 🙂
