The white rose, botanically known as Rosa alba, is a hybrid species belonging to the large Rosaceae family. It is native to the temperate and subtropical regions of the northern hemisphere. Since ancient Greek times, it has symbolized purity and innocence, when it was the flower of Aphrodite, the young goddess of beauty.
Organically crafted White Rose Hydrosol is steam distilled from the beautiful flower petals of Rosa alba by expert distillers who specialize in cultivating, harvesting, and extracting this delicate flower. With beautiful rosy notes that are soft and delicate, this hydrosol offers a lighter floral scent than the Rosa Damascena Hydrosol.
White Rose Hydrosol is especially known for its therapeutic skin regenerative properties. It is a popular single ingredient facial toner for all skin types and is often seen in formulas for dry or mature skin. With a rosy, fresh, sweet and sensual scent that is associated with love and the heart, Rosa Alba Hydrosol promotes closeness and emotional balance. It makes a rich base for room or linen sprays, adds rosy floral notes to water-based perfumes, and can be used as a water substitute in body care and skin care formulations.
Emotionally and energetically, White Rose Hydrosol is treasured for helping to comfort emotional issues and relieve tension and agitation. It is very comforting to the mind, especially in cases of feeling alienated. White Rose Hydrosol may even help with insomnia, night sweats, and heart palpitations.
White Rose Hydrosol
Hydrosols are specifically distilled for the hydrosol, not produced as a by-product or even a co-product.
These hydrosols are distilled using fresh plant material allowing us to capture not just all the volatile components of the plant, but more importantly, the cellular water from the living plant.
This cellular water is usually lost under the conventional high pressurised steam runs for essential oils, or by using dried plant material.
It is this cellular water, imbued with nutritious minerals, phytosterols, antioxidants, and countless other natural botanical chemicals, that imparts the hydrosol with the water-soluble aromatic and therapeutic properties of the plant.
