Organic Rosewater

In ancient times, roses were the ultimate display of opulence and beauty, and, as the centuries went on, royals began to make use of the flower for their skin-beautifying treatments Organic rose water is traditionally extracted from the Damask Rose which is also known as Rosa Damascena. To make rose water, organic roses are first harvested by hand. The highest quality organic rose waters are made from roses that were picked just after blossoming in the morning, but before the harsh afternoon sun dries up the moisture from the petals. From there, the oil and essence of petals are extracted in one of two methods: simmering or distillation. A natural hydrator and brimming with antioxidant properties, rose essential oil (10-50% in rose water) has shown to inhibit stress, thus strengthening the skin’s barrier function; which when working well, prevents water loss at a cellular and transdermal level. Although essential oils of Rosa Damascena are considered to have more potent moisturizing benefits, rose water has been shown to exhibit antibacterial properties against certain organisms as well as healing properties for open scars, cuts, or wounds.
