A long-standing symbol of delicate beauty and gentleness, this flower only blooms once. Opening its bloom in the morning and receding as night falls. However, the bloom never wilts, even if plucked from its stem, helping the Hibiscus to symbolize immortality. Often used as an accessory to accentuate a woman as the "Perfect Bride,” fruitful, of beauty and one with god, the bloom demonstrates the immortality of an ever-lasting love found in marriage. When worn behind the left ear, the blossom helps to promote a woman as eligible, while adorning the right ear with the bloom warns potential suitors that the woman is spoken for.
Hibiscus Extract boasts high levels of Vitamin C and other antioxidants, such as flavonoids, in addition to anti-bacterial properties that can be capitalized upon for cosmetic use. Vitamin C has been shown to promote anti-aging and antioxidant properties required for collagen production. Collagen is essential in maintaining healthy-looking, young skin. In addition, Vitamin C is involved in the regeneration and maintenance of many tissues. Hibiscus oil has been shown to improve the elasticity of the skin, which can potentially be attributed to the high concentration of Vitamin C in the flower. In preliminary research, flavonoids have indicated to potentially modify allergens, viruses, and carcinogens, and therefore may be biological "response modifiers”. Flavonoids found in Hibiscuses may be responsible for the flowers demonstrated ability to heal sores and wounds. In addition to promoting the health of the skin, hibiscus has also been shown to increase circulation, which can also enhance the appearance through improving elasticity.
