If you’ve ever wondered what “otto” stands for, it refers to the booming rose oil production during the Ottoman Empire, and rose otto is essential oil distilled from deeply fragrant Damask Rose petals.
This luxurious lotion could easily cost four times the price – it’s just £7.19 for a 200ml tube at Holland & Barrett. It absorbs fast, leaving a longlasting veil of rose-scented fragrance and we think it’s one of this summer’s real beauty bargains.
Feels: silky, rich but not cloying, hydrating, non-oily.
Star Ingredients: Rose Oil and Extracts, Aloe Vera, Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Liquorice Extract, Irish Moss, Geranium Oil, Passiflora, Lime Flower and Chamomile Extracts – and more. You won’t find a hint of a paraben or anything synthetic, it’s totally, 100%, natural.
