Although the rose water commonly available from chemists is more frequently made with synthetic fragrance extracts, not real roses, genuine rosewater is available from herbal and aromatherapy suppliers. What’s more, it contains up to 20% pure essential oils. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities of rose water means that incorporating this fragrant flower into our beauty regimes can also help our complexions bloom.
