Rose Flower Water (Rosewater)
Rose flower water, or Rosewater, is highly regarded for its soothing and gentle effect on the most delicate of skins. Rosewater is the water that is recovered from the distillation of the essential oil of rose produced when the flowers of roses are steam distilled to produce the essential oil. The steam carries the precious oil from the petals and is then condensed where the oil forms on the top of the water. The rosewater is the delicately rose-infused water that remains. It is soothing and a very gentle astringent suitable for all types of skin, but more especially for dry or sensitive.
