Today I am going to introduce you to something new and unique… Something that hardly anyone in the USA has heard about… Will start with an interesting story about a very precious flower making my home country famous for years and then will go all the way to natural cosmetics and how to take care of our skin without destroying it with chemicals and artificial products. I hope to enjoy the article and if you read it all you will learn not only about a small and beautiful country called Bulgaria, but also how to protect your natural beauty.
Bulgaria is one of the biggest producers of rose oil in the world. The reason is hidden into the high quality of the Bulgarian Kazanluk rose (“Kazanlashka roza”), a special type, that was cultivated in our country after many years of production and development.The Bulgarian roses are inheritors of the so called Damascena rose, that was brought here ages ago. The rose oil is called “the liquid gold” of Bulgaria as it is a very expensive product, used mainly for making perfumes, natural skin products, chocolate, liqueur and jam. The rose oil is 3 times more expensive than real gold. Two pounds of rose oil can be extracted from 6000 pounds of roses. This means – for one gramme of rose oil are used more than 1300 rose blossoms! Every flower is picked by hands and preserved carefully for distillation. More than 2000 people are occupied in the harvest every year. The period of the harvest lasts only 20-25 days. No other cultivation method has been able to preserve the unique character of the rose almost unchanged for over three centuries. This fact explains why there were no attempts of cultivating other rose varieties in the Rose valley near Kazanlak. It has established itself as a stable, independent type of rose, different in its anatomy and physiology from the oil-bearing roses cultivated elsewhere. One of a kind, beautiful and expensive…
Now after you learned why a little country that nobody in the USA has heard of can be so important, let me present you a famous Bulgarian cosmetics company taking care of women’s beauty for years. Their name is Refan and they offer natural beauty products without chemicals or parabens or any other substances bad for your body and skin.
