Ingredients

Rosa damascena  - 100% pure, organic and steam distilled

How is rose water made?

Our rose water is made by an award winning Moroccan women owned cooperative. From cultivation to final production, the emphasis at the coop is always on purity and consistency of quality year on year. The height of the rose season runs through April to May, when the rose bushes reach their peak and the whole valley turns pink as if it is a magical realm.  During this time, when the petals are fully opened and the atmosphere is warm and moist, the roses, at the peak of their vibrancy, contain their most intense aroma. From dawn until mid-morning, the ladies gather these sun ripened roses.

Next, the fresh petals are carefully sorted and they are placed in vats for distillation on the farm where they grow. The distillation begins within hours of the harvest. Once heated, the steam is collected, giving us the premium organic rose water, also containing the natural rose oils. Much of the rose essential oil is retained in the rose water, adding to the intense damask rose aroma, the potency and the longevity - without the addition or any preservatives. The cooperative produces food grade pure organic rose water, which we sell for cosmetic use.

This rose water is distilled from the damask rose specially chosen for it high levels of rose oil and to give the classic, timeless scent. With the reputed aphrodisiac qualities of rose water and gentle astringent action, means that it will always be more than a natural toner, cleanser and skin conditioner!

How to use rose water for the skin

Use rose water as the go-to cleanser toner for your skin. Increase the beneficial action of rose water on the skin by applying it with one of our specially selected facial sponges. Using a sponge massages the skin, helps remove dirt from the skin and helps the goodness of the rose water reach all parts of the skin. We recommend, a 1 or 2 inch silk fina sponge for cleaning the lips, a 3 or 4 inch silk fina sponge for cleansing oily skin, or a soft wedge or soft triangle sponge for dry, damaged or delicate facial skin. Soften and wet the sponge with warm water. Either add the rose water to the sponge and apply to the skin. Or spray the rose water on the skin and work it into the skin with the damp sponge.
