Ever noticed how your skin changes when you’re stressed?
That’s not a coincidence. Cortisol, known as the body’s natural stress hormone, plays a key role in how your skin looks and feels.
Studies have shown that stress can impact your skin.
The Clinical Science Behind Rare Rose
Rare Rose was designed with this connection in mind, with a skincare range that supports both visible results and emotional wellbeing. At the heart of these formulas is our exclusive rose duo, Jurlique Rose and Intense Rose, grown and hand-harvested on our biodynamic farm5. Using an innovative Supercritical CO₂ extraction method, our Rare Rose Face Oil captures the purity and potency of Jurlique Rose, unlocking new benefits.
The range features a rosy, 100% natural origin fragrance2, clinically tested at POLA R&M facilities with proven results. Studies show that simply experiencing the Rare Rose fragrance helps lower cortisol levels3, reducing the negative effects of stress on the mind3.
This sensorial experience offers a moment of pause, a calming skincare ritual that encourages you to slow down, breathe deeply, and relax. With Rare Rose, skin is not only hydrated, but supported through a more holistic approach to wellbeing.
The results are both felt and experienced, reinforcing the powerful link between scent, emotion and skin. In our trials, 100% of consumers agree that the fragrance helps them relax and inspires a sense of wellbeing4.
