Rose has been known to be a fantastic toner for all skin types for many generations. Along with having antimicrobial and astringent properties, Rose Floral Water adds and retains moisture, making it perfect for healing dry, mature and aging skin. It is a good choice for anti-aging and anti-wrinkle formulations and is also known for its ability to help cool sunburn. As an ingredient in lotions, creams and other skin care products, Rose Hydrosol adds a soft, floral aroma as well as many skin healing properties.

Emotionally and energetically, Rose Damascena Hydrosol is both invigorating yet calming. Suzanne Catty, author of Hydrosols: The Next Aromatherapy, states that rose has an affinity with the heart and the emotional spheres of the mind, body, and spirit. It is known to promote emotional balance and a sense of well-being. It is also a good choice for women’s blends intended to help balance the hormones and combat the symptoms of PMS, menopause and menstrual cramping.
Rose Hydrosol can help heal the heart during times of great despair, bringing to the surface increased feelings of love. Rose Hydrosol can also help ease shock and grief during times when one is experiencing deep loss.

PLEASE NOTE: Our range of Hydrosols, Hydrolats or Floral Waters are 100% pure and free from preservatives, alcohol and emulsifiers. These are the most genuine form of hydrosols (obtained by steam distillation of the plant parts): no infusion, no blend of essential oil and water; and no condensed water. These superior quality hydrosols are 3 to 5 times more concentrated when compared to other commercial grade hydrosols available in the market.

Our hydrosols are specifically distilled for the hydrosol, not produced as a by-product or even a co-product. These hydrosols are distilled using fresh plant material allowing us to capture not just all the volatile components of the plant, but more importantly, the cellular water from the living plant. This cellular water is usually lost under the conventional high pressurised steam runs for essential oils, or by using dried plant material. It is this cellular water, imbued with nutritious minerals, phytosterols, antioxidants, and countless other natural botanical chemicals, that imparts the hydrosol with the water-soluble aromatic and therapeutic properties of the plant.

Our exquisitely scented hydrosols therefore have a different make-up to their essential oil counterpart though they retain a small fraction of essential oil compounds (about 0.05 to 0.2 grams per litre) – mostly the gentler, more hydrophilic aromatic esters and alcohols. This is one of the reasons that makes hydrosols quite safe for children, the elderly, and anybody with pronounced sensitivities.

Our hydrosols are very versatile in use as:
Facial Cleanser: Moisten with a cotton pad and swipe across the skin of the face to cleanse.
