Water Jasmine
Water Jasmine is a delicate floral extract derived from the fragrant blooms of the jasmine plant, prized in British skincare for its gentle, soothing and beautifully scented profile. It brings a touch of natural elegance to cleansers, toners, mists and creams, offering a light, refreshing alternative to harsher synthetic fragrances.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare Water Jasmine functions primarily as a conditioning and aromatic ingredient that helps to soften and calm the skin while imparting a subtle, sophisticated floral scent. Its natural compounds assist with hydration and provide a mild astringent effect that can leave skin feeling fresh and balanced without stripping natural oils.

Where it comes from
Water Jasmine is obtained from the flowers of Jasminum officinale, a climbing shrub native to the Himalayas and widely cultivated in temperate gardens across the UK and Europe. The delicate white blooms are typically steam-distilled or solvent-extracted to produce the fragrant floral water or absolute used in cosmetics.
