English Rose Hydrolat
English Rose Hydrolat is a delicate, fragrant floral water distilled from fresh English rose petals. It offers a gentle, alcohol-free way to tone, hydrate and refresh the skin with a soft rose scent that many find calming and uplifting.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, English Rose Hydrolat functions as a mild astringent and soothing agent that helps balance the skin’s pH after cleansing while delivering light hydration. Its fine mist is ideal for use as a facial toner, setting spray or ingredient in creams and serums, where it lends a subtle natural fragrance and helps calm the complexion without stripping natural oils.
