Rosemary Extract

ROSEMARY EXTRACT

The extract is from rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis Linn.), a common household plant that has 

grown in the Alps since the Middle Ages, and is now found throughout the world. According to 

folklore, rosemary takes its name from the Virgin Mary, who draped her cloak on a rosemary bush, 

and then placed a white flower on top of the cloak. The flower turned blue overnight, and the plant 

became known as the “Rose of Mary.”
