What is Rosa Damascena Flower Extract?
Rosa Damascena Flower Extract—commonly known as Rosewater—has been treasured for centuries as a beautiful botanical skincare ingredient, beloved for both its delicate floral scent and its gentle, skin-loving properties. Steam distilled from fresh Damask Rose (Rosa Damascene) petals, this aromatic water is often used in rosewater skincare to refresh, hydrate and soothe the skin, making it a natural go-to in toners, facial mists and calming treatments.

Rosewater Skin Benefits
Rosewater skin benefits are rich and refreshing, with rosewater for skin providing a luxurious hit of soothing hydration and antioxidant goodness. Naturally rich in vitamins A, C, D, E and B3, Rosewater offers natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support to skin.
The Rosewater Hydration Moisture Boost Day Cream-Gel and Rosewater Hydration Moisture Recharge Night Cream-Gel showcase these benefits beautifully, helping to restore daily hydration while strengthening the skin’s barrier against environmental stressors.
The comprehensive rosewater benefits also include diminishing dullness and supporting a healthy-looking glow. Refreshing and hydration-boosting, it can be particularly helpful for softening and rebalancing skin that feels sensitive, dry or reactive.
How Rosewater Works
Rosewater’s mild astringent properties are also said to help refine the appearance of pores and tone the skin, without stripping away natural moisture. One of Rosewater's key appeals is its ability to instantly revitalise.
A spritz of the Rosewater Hydration Drench Mineral Face Mist or the Aromatherapy Rosewater & Chamomile Gentle Skin Toner delivers instant comfort and hydration—perfect as post-cleanse care or for a midday refresh.
Rosewater in Skincare Products
Rosewater cosmetics are frequently used to enhance the absorption of other products in a skincare routine, creating a dewy, receptive base for hydrating serums or moisturising oils. The Rosewater Hydration Antioxidant Serum and Rosewater Hydration Gentle Cream-Gel Face Cleanser are prime examples of Rosewater enhancing and amplifying broader skincare results.
Thanks to its calming nature, Rosewater has also found a place in wider wellness traditions. Products like the Rosewater Hydration Rosewater and Magnesium Relaxing Bath Soak and Rosewater Hydration Moisture Rich Hand & Nail Cream connect skincare with soothing self-care rituals, making Rosewater a holistic choice.

Whether used as a toner, a facial mist or simply for its sensory pleasure, Rosa Damascena Flower Extract continues to offer a beautiful, botanical way to care for the skin—bringing with it the timeless luxury of the rose, in its most delicate form. From targeted treatments like the Rosewater Hydration Antioxidant Micellar Cleansing Water to indulgent Rosewater Hydration Moisture Gel Sleeping Mask, Rosewater remains a cherished daily ritual for skin health and wellbeing.
