What is Rose Water?

A fragrant liquid with a long history, it is a by-product of steam distillation used to extract rose essential oil. During this process, rose petals are heated with water, and the resulting steam is captured and cooled. This condensed vapour, infused with the delicate aroma and some beneficial properties of the rose, is known as rose water.

What can Rose Water do for your skin?

Hydration – with the ability to enhance skin hydration, it acts as a humectant, attracting moisture from the environment and helping the skin retain it. It is particularly good at treating dry and dehydrated skin.

Skin Soothing – rose water possesses anti-inflammatory properties. This can help reduce redness and soothe irritation, making it a welcome addition to skincare routines for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.1

Antioxidants – containing vitamins C and flavonoids that help to neutralise free radicals causing oxidative damage to the skin, these antioxidants can mitigate the signs of ageing. It can also help to brighten and balance uneven skin tone.2

Antibacterial – with natural antibacterial properties, rose water helps prevent acne breakouts and promote wound healing.3

Can you use Rose Water when you’re pregnant?

While rose water is generally considered safe for topical application, there’s limited research on its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Therefore, exercising caution is advisable for expecting or lactating individuals, especially at high concentrations. As with any new skincare product, a patch test is highly recommended before using rose water on a larger area. This helps identify any potential allergies. If you have any concerns about incorporating rose water into your routine while pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s always best to consult your healthcare provider. They can offer personalised advice based on your unique health situation.

How do you use Rose Water?

A natural ingredient known for its gentle nature, rose water can be incorporated into various skincare products – toners, serums, creams, mists, masks, and even eye creams – making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Beyond its many skin positives, rose water offers a delightful aromatic benefit. Its fresh, floral scent can contribute to a sense of relaxation and stress relief.4

While rose water is generally well-tolerated, it’s always recommended to conduct a patch test before incorporating any new product into your skincare routine. This helps identify any potential sensitivities.
