Rose water is a fragrant liquid obtained through steam distillation of rose petals, notably the Damask and Centifolia roses. Originating in the Middle East and Asia, it boasts a rich history in traditional medicine, culinary arts, and cosmetics. Its composition includes water and essential rose oils, and sometimes mica, rendering it prized for its calming effects on the skin. As a natural toner, it balances pH, minimizes pores, and reduces redness. Beyond skincare, rose water's aromatic presence graces perfumes, beauty products, and desserts (ours is not to be injested), adding a floral essence that encapsulates its enduring allure and versatility.
