If you’ve been to the Mediterranean this summer, you may have come across a red rockrose bush.

This ‘new’ superfood, used since the time of the botanist Theophrastus, a disciple of Aristotle, is truly a remedy for all ills thanks to its countless benefits. It is considered an ally for our health but also for our beauty routine. And unlike other superfoods, it does not come from exotic places but from the Mediterranean.
