Rose oil is produced by extracting it from Rosa Damascus. Researchers have found that it contains several therapeutic compounds known to promote healing in the body: Although plant essences have been used to preserve mummies as far back as Ancient Egypt For the first time in history, only Avicenna managed to obtain pure essential oil. In addition, we are talking about one of the most valuable essential oils - rose! This small feat became possible thanks to the fact that Avicenna relied on Persian teachings (it is believed that it was the Persians who invented distillation) and improved the alembic. Since that time, aromatherapy has been included in all the healing advice that Avicenna gave in his medical treatises. 10 centuries ago, a Persian princess used Rose essential oil to preserve her beauty and youth. Nowadays, its valuable properties are used in cosmetology, pharmaceuticals, medicine, perfumery and even in the food industry - for the manufacture of confectionery products. Rose is the first flower from which Avicenna himself obtained essential oil! However this...

Bulgarian rose oil is known all over the world. The first Bulgarian rose oil was distilled around 1655. In 1820, the first rose trading house, Doncho Papazov, was built in Kazanlak, and the city became the center of rose production in Bulgaria. Bulgaria has more than 350 years of tradition in the production of rose oil. Bulgarian oil is recognized as the most high quality worldwide. It's forever. Konkum rose oil, produced in the 1940s, now costs over $20,000 and is hard to find. The demand for oil is still greater than its supply. It takes more than 30 roses to extract one drop of oil, and one kilogram of oil yields 3,000 to 4,000 kg of rose flowers. Origin The first roses were brought to Thrace, bringing back the soldiers of Alexander the Great. Roses were imported into the region from Kashan, Persia via Damascus, Syria. Humidity and cloudiness contributed to the production of roses with high essential oil content. Over time, people began to use double and repeated distillation. Thus, for the first time, rose oil became the main product of distillation, and...

Hydrolates and facial tonics are aqueous solutions or colloidal suspensions (hydrosols) of essential oils obtained from steam distillation of aromatic plants. They are different from essential oils because the distillation process creates the essential oil and condensed water at the same time. Depending on the distillation method, much more hydrolate from the aromatic plant is obtained than the essential oil that forms on top. During distillation, the essential oil is extracted from the plants, leaving behind water vapor, which turns back into water when cooled. This water also contains a small amount of essential oil - approximately 1–2%. It is this aqueous solution active ingredients plant origin and is called hydrolate or hydrosol. Because in hydrosol percentage Because there were far fewer active substances than in essential oil, it was long considered a simple by-product of distillation. This was the mistake! Citrus fruit hydrolates (for example, lemon) do not exist, since the essential oils from them are not extracted by distillation -...

This is definitely Wow! Or rather WOW!!!
This is not just rose-scented water, but a wonderful essence of beauty.

Damask rose hydrolate- rose water obtained by steam distillation of water through plant material.
Through those very selected & high-mountain petals of the Damask rose.

When water vapor passes through the petals, they are saturated with valuable water-soluble components - essential oils, bioflavonoids, vitamins and other valuable substances. Steam extracts valuable substances from the plant, while various “ballast” substances - salts, dyes, etc. - do not get into the hydrolate, so the effect of the hydrolate is effective and harmless.

Essential oils are contained in the hydrolate in a concentration that is optimal for use in pure, undiluted form.

I use it as a tonic - apply rose water to cleansed skin of the face and body, moistened with a cotton swab, in the morning and evening before bed.

It is great for the final stage of skin cleansing!
And after cleansing foams and especially after leave-in milk to cleanse the skin.
And it goes very well for wiping the face after two-phase washing according to Lazlo's menthod.

And if you pour it into a spray and use it as thermal water, your skin will be happy and fresh as a rose;)))
This spray is good for moisturizing the skin.
And rose hydrosol will perfectly complement any homemade mask.

Why is she good?
Rose hydrolate gives the skin firmness, freshness and elasticity, eliminates dryness, flaking, a feeling of skin tightness, irritation, and inflammation.
It is a natural, aromatic antiseptic, regular use will help keep your skin young and beautiful for many years.

Rose water compresses help to dissolve bags under the eyes, eliminate dark circles and relieve tension from tired eyes.
Applying hydrosol to the skin before applying serum or cream will help the skin stay hydrated and improve skin color.

Important!
This product is sensitive to light and heat. Must be stored in the refrigerator. If you pour it into a spray bottle, it’s better not all at once (what if you have a spray bottle for 355 ml), but a little at a time.

It is also taken orally, used in food and made into tea. I haven't tried that.

About the taste to the color (in in this case by smell).
The very first review on the site about this water says that it stinks and was thrown away. Honestly, I'm shocked. Although it depends for what purpose the author bought it.
I bought this water specifically for my face, not because of the smell, but because of the properties. But the smell is good too! It smells very pleasant to me, like roses, but a living rose smells different.
The main thing is action.
I will buy it constantly, despite the fact that this is not a cheap product. It can't be cheap. To obtain high-quality rose water, its quantity is limited in proportion to the amount of raw materials used.
But in Russia it’s still more expensive! And I seriously doubt the quality of what you can buy from us.

And more reviews about different tonics

I will continue the topic of non-tonic miracle waters for the face.
I’m dragging here my own post written a long time ago about real rose hydrosol;)

Essential oils are contained in the hydrolate in a concentration that is optimal for use in pure, undiluted form.

I recommend!

Can you make rose oil at home?
Yes, of course you can. For this, petals of bright red and fragrant roses are used. The oil is prepared on the basis of olive.
This is done like this - in olive oil, heated to 50-70C, pour pink petals, as many as will fit. The volume of the container with oil depends on the volume of petals that you can use to prepare the oil.

Keep in a warm place for two days. Then the petals are squeezed out and a new portion of petals is poured in. And this is repeated 10-15 times. The resulting oil is stored in a tightly closed container.
This oil can be used for medicinal and cosmetic massage, for the manufacture of eau de toilette and perfumes, it is added to face and body creams.

You can prepare Essence from rose petals.
This essence of rose petals serves to effectively cleanse and improve the tone of dry and normal facial skin.
To prepare it, 3 cups of dry red rose petals are poured with almond or other vegetable oil so that the petals are completely covered, and keep in a water bath until the petals are completely discolored. The essence is stored in a tightly closed glass bottle in the refrigerator.
The face and neck are wiped 2-3 times a day, which gives the skin a healthy, elastic appearance.

According to psychologists and specialists in the field of herbal medicine, rose oil greatly influences the charm of a person, just like bitter orange, hyssop, and neroli. It also relieves stress and nervous tension.
Gives a person self-confidence.

How and when to collect rose petals
You probably understand that you cannot use purchased roses, as they undergo chemical treatment. You should take garden or wild roses.

Roses should be collected for making oil only at dawn, preferably before sunrise.
This time is due to the fact that the maximum amount of essential oil is concentrated on the not yet heated rose petals.
The optimal “season” for picking roses is within 2-4 days after the bud opens. So the flower has not yet had time to “use up” all the aroma.
You should choose roses with a strong scent and bright red shades.
