Rosa Damascena Flower Water
Rosa Damascena Flower Water, also known as rose floral water or rose hydrosol, is a gentle, fragrant ingredient distilled from the petals of the Damask rose. It is widely used in UK skincare and beauty products for its delicate rose scent and soothing properties, making it a favourite in toners, mists, creams and serums.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Rosa Damascena Flower Water functions primarily as a natural fragrance component, skin-conditioning agent and mild astringent. It helps to refresh and tone the skin while providing a light, pleasant aroma that enhances the sensory experience of a product. Because it is a hydrosol, it also contributes a small amount of water-soluble rose constituents that can help maintain the skin’s moisture balance without the heaviness of oils.
