About cistus herb

Cistus is not a rose, but a separate plant genus in the rockrose family. The leaves have a spicy aroma and are known from traditional cosmetic and household applications.

Use

Because cistus is classified as a novel food in the EU, we do not sell this herb as food or tea. Our organic cistus herb is intended for cosmetic use, for example as a bath infusion or as an infusion for external skin care after cooling.

Properties

Cistus is a strongly branched Mediterranean shrub. The leaves have a resinous, spicy scent reminiscent of vanilla, rosemary and fir. Our cistus herb is dried and cut for easy handling.

Origin and quality

The herb comes from controlled organic cultivation. Filling and laboratory checks are carried out in Germany.

FAQ
