The verdict
Superhero
Superpower
The fragrant water left from steam-distilling rose petals, with a soft, natural rose scent.
Rose water's government name is Rosa Damascena Flower Water. It's been made for well over a thousand years, by steam-distilling rose petals and collecting the scented water.
Superhero or supervillain?
Superhero. Its superpower is scent. It carries a light, natural rose aroma, much softer than rose essential oil.
What it does in my skincare
Rose water is a facial mist. A quick spritz feels cool and refreshing on the skin and leaves a gentle hint of rose.
