White Rose Hydrosol, distilled from the fresh petals of Rosa alba, is one of the most elegant and ethereal floral waters in the world of botanical skincare and aromatherapy. Known for its purity, softness, and gentle sophistication, this hydrosol captures the delicate essence of white roses—flowers historically associated with purity, serenity, feminine grace, and spiritual balance.
This exquisite hydrosol is created through slow steam distillation, a process that gently extracts the aromatic molecules and water-soluble therapeutic compounds from freshly harvested white rose petals. Unlike synthetic rose waters or reconstituted hydrosols, this is a true, single-distillation hydrosol, completely free of preservatives, alcohol, or fragrances.
