Escentia Rose Floral Water - Food Grade is a preserved, standardised rose floral water made from a water-based extract of Rosa damascena oil. It is used in skincare, body care, and formulations where a soft rose scent and a light, refreshing water phase are wanted. This is not a pure hydrosol, but a prepared floral water with added food-grade preservation for stability and consistency. Its gentle rose character makes it especially useful as a toner, skin refresher, make-up remover, and formulation water.

♡ Why we love it: This is one of those beautifully versatile rose waters that feels just as at home in a simple daily skincare routine as it does in a more creative DIY blend. It brings a soft floral touch, a freshened skin feel, and the kind of easy usefulness that makes it a lovely staple to keep on hand.
