ORGANIC BULGARIAN ROSE HYDROSOL (ROSA DAMASCENA)

This is such a beautiful flower hydrosol, expertly distilled from certified organic Rosa damascena ~ the legendary Damask rose of Bulgaria's Rose Valley, where the finest roses in the world have been grown and celebrated for centuries. The roses are organically cultivated there, then carefully distilled in France by specialists with generations of expertise in botanical distillation. We import this hydrosol directly ~ completely preservative-free, pure, and undiluted ~ so what arrives at your door is the real thing, just as nature intended.

Rosa damascena is perhaps the most beloved and storied botanical in all of skincare history, and for good reason. Its hydrosol ~ the fragrant flower water captured during steam distillation ~ delivers the plant's water-soluble active compounds directly to your skin in the gentlest possible form. Bulgarian Rosa damascena hydrosol is naturally rich in citronellol and geraniol ~ plant-derived compounds known for their antioxidant, calming, and skin-conditioning properties. And with its regenerative action and antioxidant properties, it helps limit premature cell aging while bringing radiance and luminosity to the complexion.

So if your skin is feeling dull, dehydrated, easily irritated, or simply in need of a moment of botanical luxury ~ this hydrosol may be exactly what it's been asking for.

Cosmetically, this rose flower water is refreshing, purifying, cleansing, balancing, revitalizing, soothing, and toning. Research on organic Bulgarian Rosa damascena hydrosol has demonstrated significant improvement in skin hydration, sebum regulation, and anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. It prepares the skin beautifully for the serums and moisturizers that follow, acting as a conditioning prep step that helps your other products absorb more effectively.

Why Bulgarian rose is especially beautiful for mature and perimenopausal skin: Rose hydrosol is one of the most time-honored botanicals for mature skin ~ and there's real science behind the tradition. Studies show that organic rose hydrosol from Bulgarian Rosa damascena provides meaningful anti-aging effects, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and supporting skin elasticity. As skin loses moisture and resilience during hormonal shifts like perimenopause and menopause, a daily misting of rose hydrosol offers gentle, consistent replenishment ~ hydrating, protecting, and encouraging a luminous, balanced complexion with every use. And the scent itself is rich, floral, and deeply calming.

This hydrosol is a wonderful toner for all skin types and all ages, including those with very sensitive, dry, mature, oily, and combination skin. The aroma uplifts, balances, relaxes, and calms the emotions ~ making it as nourishing for the mind as it is for the skin. A versatile botanical mist, it can also be used as an aftershave, added to bath water, or enjoyed as an aromatherapy room, body, or pillow spray.

This amazing hydrosol is preservative-free, distilled at low temperatures, completely natural, pure, and undiluted, with no additives.

Available sizes: 2 oz frosted clear glass bottle or 4 oz amber glass bottle (both sizes come with a mister top).

Ingredients: Certified organic Rose Hydrosol distilled from Rosa damascena flowers organically cultivated in Bulgaria (pure and preservative-free). Distilled in France.

Please note: Hydrosols are delicate and preservative-free ~ to extend shelf life, store in a cool, dark area away from direct light and heat, which can reduce effectiveness over time. Freezing warning: hydrosols can freeze and expand in cold temperatures, causing glass bottles to break in transit. If your region is experiencing temperatures of 32°F or below, please wait until temperatures warm before ordering.

How to use: First, wash and dry your face with water or a gentle facial wash. Mist with 1~3 spritzes of hydrosol. If you'd like, you can gently rub the hydrosol into your face. Allow to air dry or gently pat dry with a soft washcloth. Finish by applying a facial serum or moisturizer. Use twice per day (morning and night). For best results, apply while skin is still slightly damp to seal in hydration and enhance absorption of the products that follow.

Psst ~ Bulgarian rose and bakuchiol are an incredible pairing. Mist this hydrosol first, then follow with our Bakuchiol Botanical Facial Serum for a luminous, age-defying routine your skin will love.

To extend the shelf life, store in a dry, cool, and dark area. Direct light and heat will reduce the effectiveness and shelf life of the product.

FREEZING TEMPERATURE WARNING: Hydrosols can freeze and break in cold temperatures. If you live in an area which is experiencing freezing or cold temperatures (32 degrees or lower), please do not order hydrosols until the temperatures warm up in your region.
