Rosemary Extracts as functional additives in Cosmetics.:

Rosemary, with its forest-fresh scent and lovely flowers is quintessential in any herb garden. The ancient Latin name rosmarinus, meaning "sea-dew," comes from its habit of growing close to the sea and the dewlike appearance of its pale blue flowers at a distance.

 Rosemary is a shrub that originated in the Mediterranean region and is now widely cultivated throughout the temperate areas. It is richly steeped in myth, magic and folk medicine. Connected with the Christian faith is the story that rosemary will grow for 33 years, the length of Christ's life and then die.

 With a reputation for strengthening the memory, it became the emblem of fidelity during the Elizabethan times. The wedding couple wore or carried a sprig as a sign of love and faithfulness.

 Rosemary, known for its antiseptic properties, was burned in sick chambers to purify and freshen the air. Branches were strewn in courts of law as a protection against jail fever (typhus). During the great plague, rosemary leaves were carried in neck pouches to be sniffed when traveling through questionable areas.

   Rosemary is used today in many herbal shampoos and has a long standing reputation as a hair tonic. An antiseptic solution may be added to the bath to promote healthy skin. Boil a handful in 16 fl.oz. of water for 10 minutes. Rosemary is renowned for its anti-depressive properties and helps to relieve psychological tension.

 Rosemary can, with great care be grown from seed. However, the most reliable method of propagation is from cuttings of softwood ( new growth) in the spring. Cut lengths of approximately 6 inches and place in potting soil. Keep water to a minimum. In the summer months, rosemary also lends itself well to layering, especially if the branches are already hanging down.

   Rosemary requires a well-drained soil in a sheltered, sunny spot. It is frost hardy but in certain cold areas prefers to grow against a south or south-west wall. If the plant is young, it is worth a little extra protection. "Arp" is a new cultivar that can withstand more frost than other varieties.

 As rosemary is evergreen, you can pick fresh leaves all year round. If you desire a large quantity, it is best to pick in the summer and dry or use in oils or vinegars to preserve. Rosemary does well in pots, and is the preferred way to grow in colder areas. Most upright varieties look very attractive and benefit from the extra protection offered by a container. Make sure the potting soil is very well drained. Do not overwater, and feed only after flowering.
