Rose & Caramel: Rosie Greenhalgh
Rose & Caramel, founded in 2010, is a British self-tan beauty brand. It all began for Rosie Greenhalgh when a medical herbalist who used to visit her salon regularly created Greenhalgh's very own tanning solution and offered to train her so she could also learn.
She ended up buying his business, which was essentially the knowledge of how to create skincare and tanning products she could retail in her salon. From there, she began making spray tan solutions which quickly became an obsession for her to create the best spray tan available on the market. When she had developed a cream-based spray formula, it was at this point that she launched the Rose & Caramel brand into a retail space instead of merely selling within her salon.
After a holiday to Vegas where she was frustrated that the cream she was applying was in a cream-based aerosol and was not able to be sprayed, she went home to formulate what she was looking for, from her kitchen. From creating the product to retail, it took two years. Greenhalgh spent a further 18-months locating a chemist who was able to get the formula into a factory.
Rose & Caramel’s first product was a clear spray tan made from a cream base. Following this, Greenhalgh then started to make tans that matched various skin tones. She is an advocate for self-confidence. She knows that when women find the right colour, that’s when they will get the perfect finish, which will result in them feeling confident and flawless. Rose & Caramel’s best selling product is their Purity Bubble Bath, which removes any self-tan brand and is alcohol, perfume and colour free meaning it’s perfect for sensitive skin.
Another bestseller is Velvety, which is their darkest tan. It lasts 7-10 days with the correct aftercare. Greenhalgh recommends their Purity - Prep & Protect spray, which is an oil-free hydration mist which maintains your tan for longer. Her passion is to educate as many people on application and self-care. She teaches all her customers about their skin, how to prep their skin and how to address aftercare.
Rose & Caramel can be purchased from PrettyLittleThing, Justmylook, Feel Unique & Love Lula.
