Description
Rose water (org) is a hydrolate: a water-based extract of rose, for use in cosmetics and fragrance products.
Not intended for use in food, vape liquids or other internal use.
Keep cool, dry, dark and out of the reach of children.
The extract is made in the production of rose essential oil. The water that is released during this process is collected, filtered and preserved. As a result, it has a longer shelf life and waste is limited. The roses from which our rose water is made are organically grown and can come from all rose oil producing countries in and around Europe (Bulgaria, Morocco, Iran and Turkey).
The preservatives used are benzyl alcohol (just over 0,5%) and dehydroacetic acid (less than 0,1%), preservatives that are usually considered acceptable in natural cosmetics. The rose water itself consists mainly of water, it contains less than 1% fragrance, most of which is phenylethyl alcohol.
The use of synthetic preservatives ensures a longer shelf life, which prevents waste. Nevertheless, these are substances from non-renewable sources.
