Where does this lotion go in my routine?

As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a lotion goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract and not three changes at once.

Does this lotion contain fragrance?

Yes. The ingredient list names Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene and Linalool. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this lotion is not the one.

What else is on the list besides Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract?

Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Hydrogenated Polydecene, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter.

How it works

The Vitalizing Rosemary ALL-IN-ONE Lotion 300ml (Refill) is a 300ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The plant extract it is built around is Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, named thirteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the lotion format rather than by the list alone. AROMATICA sells this Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract lotion in Korea, and this is that version.

Key benefits

Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, the plant extract this lotion is built around
Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables on the same list, a barrier lipid
Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract on the same list, a plant extract
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Hydrogenated Polydecene on the same list, emollients
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter further down the same list
Ethylhexyl Olivate and Arginine further down the same list

How to use

Pat a small amount into skin with warm hands after toner, allowing full absorption before the next layer.

1 of 3

34 of 38 explained

Water solvent: Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
Dipropylene Glycol humectant: Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
Glycerin humectant: Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate emollient: Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is a synthetic ester used as a dry-feeling emollient. It spreads easily, leaves a silky rather than oily finish, and helps disperse pigments and UV filters evenly.
Hydrogenated Polydecene emollient: Hydrogenated Polydecene is a synthetic hydrocarbon emollient used in place of mineral oil. It is stable, has no scent, and gives a cushioned slip without oxidising.
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil fragrance component: Rosemary Leaf Oil is an essential oil carrying camphor and cineole. It scents a formula and is a stronger aromatic than most.
Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil fragrance component: Eucalyptus Leaf Oil is an essential oil carrying eucalyptol. It scents a formula sharply and gives a cooling sensation.
Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil fragrance component: Atlas Cedar Bark Oil is a woody essential oil used to scent a formula.
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil fragrance component: Lavender Oil is an essential oil carrying linalool and linalyl acetate. It scents a formula, and linalool is one of the fragrance components EU labelling requires to be named separately.
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Oil fragrance component: German chamomile essential oil, deep blue from its azulene content. It scents a formula as well as conditioning it.
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract plant extract: Rosemary Leaf Extract carries rosmarinic and carnosic acids, both effective antioxidants. It is often there to keep the oils in a formula from going rancid.
Polyacrylate-13 thickener: Polyacrylate-13 is a pre-neutralised thickener that gels instantly and holds an emulsion together, so a formula can be built without heat.

22 more explained

Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate emulsifier: Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate is a sugar-derived emulsifier known for a light, non-soapy feel. It builds gel-creams that do not read as rich.
Betaine humectant: Betaine is a sugar-beet-derived humectant that cells use to hold water. In a formula it hydrates and takes the edge off cleansers and acids, which is why it often appears alongside them.
1,2-Hexanediol humectant: 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
Glyceryl Stearate emulsifier: Glyceryl Stearate is glycerin joined to stearic acid, and one of the most used emulsifiers in skincare. It holds oil and water together and thickens the result, and it softens skin at the same time.
Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster: Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene emollient: Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a stabilised synthetic hydrocarbon used in place of mineral oil. It is an emollient that leaves a smooth, cushioned film.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter emollient: Shea Butter is the fat pressed from the shea nut, rich in oleic and stearic acids and unsaponifiable plant sterols. It is a heavy emollient and partial occlusive, which is why it sits in balms and night creams rather than in essences.
Butylene Glycol humectant: Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer thickener: This is a carbomer relative with fatty side chains, so it thickens and stabilises an emulsion at the same time. It gives a light gel-cream body rather than a heavy one.
Arginine amino acid: Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster.
Cetearyl Alcohol fatty alcohol: Cetearyl Alcohol is a waxy solid, not the drying kind of alcohol. It is a blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohols used to thicken a cream and keep oil and water from separating, and it softens skin as it does so.
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate emulsifier: Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser, mild enough to be a standard choice in Korean essences. It dissolves small amounts of oil into water without any tightening feel.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate emollient: Ethylhexyl Palmitate is a palm-derived ester used as a light emollient and a solvent for pigment. It gives a smooth, non-greasy slip.
Illicium Verum (Star Anise) Fruit Extract plant extract: Star Anise Fruit Extract carries aromatic plant compounds. It is used as a conditioning extract and contributes scent.
Sorbitan Isostearate emulsifier: Sorbitan Isostearate is a mild emulsifier that holds water into oil, the direction a cleansing balm or an oil-based cream needs.
Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables barrier lipid: The fraction of olive oil that will not turn into soap, which is the sterols, squalene and vitamin E, concentrated and hardened. It is a rich barrier lipid.
Xanthan Gum thickener: Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.
Disodium EDTA chelator: EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
Limonene fragrance component: Limonene is the citrus-peel aromatic. It appears here because EU labelling requires 26 fragrance components to be named individually rather than hidden inside "fragrance", and it is one of them.
Linalool fragrance component: Linalool is a floral aromatic found in lavender, bergamot and coriander. It is one of the 26 fragrance components EU labelling requires to be declared by name.
Benzyl Benzoate fragrance component: Benzyl Benzoate is a faintly balsamic aromatic that also acts as a fixative, holding a fragrance on skin longer. It is one of the 26 declarable fragrance components.
Benzyl Alcohol preservative: Benzyl Alcohol is an aromatic alcohol that occurs naturally in jasmine and ylang ylang. It is a preservative and a solvent, and it is also one of the 26 declarable fragrance components.
