Morrocan Rose: Scent of the Moment

The soothing scent and conjurations of Mediterranean warmth and exotic lushness have made of Moroccan Rose essential oil a star ingredient in high-end body care products the past couple years. Two best-sellers are Ren's Moroccan Rose Otto body care line and Redflower's Moroccan Rose line.

Pretty factor: The Ren wash—an InStyle Best Beauty Buys winner for five consecutive years—contains Rose Otto Oil, whose gorgeous scent melts away worries and sadness. Additionally, geranium essential oil balances oil production and uplifts the mood, and panthenol (vitamin B5) conditions the skin. The Red Flower wash is also abloom with soothing and moisturizing ingredients. Honey, aloe, and evening primrose oil are a few.

Eco factor: Neither Ren nor Red Flower products contain petrochemicals, parabens, sulfates, propylene glycol, synthetic dyes or fragrance. No animal testing. Ren donates 2.5% of its profits to environmental organizations.

To buy: Ren: $27 each at Sephora stores and sephora.com; Redflower: $20 each at beauty.com.
