How rosewater can change your skin for the better.

June 14, 2017 1 min read

Few natural ingredients have the ability to act as multi-functional skin fixers. Rosewater, however, has the ability to change your skin for the better in more ways than one.

Here's how: Rosewater is created by distilling rose petals with steam. It’s anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, has antioxidants and is extremely hydrating, which is why it’s so effective and can be used to address many different skin concerns. Vitamins A and C can help repair sun damage and hydrate drier complexions. It’s a gentler alternative to alcohol and effectively kills bacteria on the skin’s surface, which can treat and prevent acne. It’s excellent for balancing skin’s pH (read more about that here), and can be used to refresh the complexion throughout the day, or to set makeup. One word of caution when shopping for products with rosewater: it has the potential to be irritating if it’s mixed with alcohol or synthetic fragrances. So stick to products that are alcohol and fragrance-free. Experience the balancing and refreshing effect of Rosewater with our Clarifying Toner, $35.
