Damask Rose Water. 100 ml | 3.40 fl oz 100%
 
Natural. Minimally Processed. Damask Rose Water is the hydrosol or hydrolat of the Bulgarian Rose, also known as the Damask Rose or Rosa Damascena. Very simply stated, hydrosols or hydrolats are the natural waters that are collected when plants are distilled to extract their essential oils. The heated steam and gentle pressure cause active chemicals from the plant to be released into the steam. The steamy vapor then flows through a condenser which cools it down and turns it back into liquid form � yielding a layer of oil and a layer of water. Some of the chemicals released from the plants are non-water soluble and repel water � giving us the layer of oil which is known as �essential oil�. The water-soluble chemicals dissolve into the layer of water and this is what is known as the hydrolat or hydrosol. The common misconception is that hydrolats are �just� a by-product of the essential oil production process. This is wrong: pure hydrolats are also produced as they have their unique purpose and are valuable therapeutic products in their own right! Our bodies are made up of mostly water, so it makes sense that hydrolats have a great affinity for supporting us. In other natural therapies, such as homeopathy - which argues that the more diluted a substance is, the more therapeutic it can be - there is support for the idea that �less is more,� which highlights just how impactful hydrolats can be! Likewise, often, the higher the dilution, the gentler the action, making hydrolats particularly suited to sensitive situations that require gentle care. Having a perfect pH, and because they are already diluted (unlike essential oils), you can simply use them as they come, and even apply them directly on the skin to gain the maximum benefit.
