Rose Hydrosol or Rose Water is the delicate, aromatic water produced during the steam distillation of fresh rose petals. Softer than essential oil and more refined than a simple infusion, it carries the living intelligence of the rose — cooling, calming, and harmonising in nature.
Traditionally used across food, medicine, ritual, and daily care, rose hydrosol is considered both nourishment and medicine, both comfort and refinement.
