Powerful, but sensitive this beautifully fragile flower has a hidden strength – revitalizing stressed and imbalanced ecosystems. Rock Rose is the first plant to reemerge after a wildfire and has been used in meditation to invoke transcendence, reduce anxiety, and as a healer for stressed skin.

Our Rock Rose extract is wild harvested and processed in a zero-waste facility.
