Rose Floral Water- Ingredient Highlight

Rose water is created by distilling rose petals with steam. Rose water has been used for thousands of years. It’s thought to have originated in what is now Iran. Ancient Greeks and Romans used it for bathing. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, rose water was a popular remedy for depression, bathing and as a "handwater" for rinsing.

This clear, sweet-tasting, aromatic liquid has been used in perfumery, cosmetics, and medicine for many centuries. In Middle Eastern and West Asian countries, it has long been used as a flavoring in cooking.

Rose water not only smells good, but also comes with plenty of potential health benefits, both internally and externally. We are going to focus on the skin benefits of rose water.

1. One of the greatest benefits of rose water is its strong anti-inflammatory properties. These properties can help treat multiple ailments. It may even help soothe the irritation of eczema or rosacea. The anti-inflammatory properties can reduce skin redness and puffiness.

2. The antibacterial properties can help reduce acne.

3. Rose petals and rose oil contain a number of powerful antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage.

4. Rose water improves all different types of skin completions, including sensitive skin, by controlling sebum production, and allowing the outer skin barrier to heal and repair itself.

5. Rose water tightens the pores making them appear smaller.

6. It helps lighten hyperpigmentation over time with regular use.
