Overview

Organic Rose Hydrosol


Packaging Note: Sizes 1 oz through 4 oz are packaged in glass bottles. The 8 oz size and larger may come in BPA free plastic bottles depending on the season. Hydrosols can freeze and expand when temperatures drop which can result in bottle breakage. If you are experiencing extreme cold in your area, please contact us to ensure your shipment comes appropriately packaged.


Our exquisite Rose Hydrosol is a certified organic, 100% pure and natural product that does not contain any additives, preservatives or synthetic substances. This very special hydrosol, from the producers of our exceptional organic Rose Otto from Bulgaria, contains about 0.10% of Rose essential oil (aka Rose Otto) - a remarkably high percentage - as a result of a second distillation called cohobation. Rose oil acts as a natural preservative, and keeps the hydrosol stable for approximately 18 months from the date of production.1

The volatiles consist mainly of 2-phenylethanol, linalool, nerol, and geraniol, along with rose oxides and all other characteristic minor rose compounds. Phenylethanol is an important hydrophilic fragrance constituent that appears in the distillate of roses, but not in the distilled essential oil. It is only through cohobation, the redistillation of the hydrosol, that phenylethanol may be reclaimed.2

Strict quality control and the utmost care are taken at each stage of the labor intensive and time sensitive harvest-to-hydrosol production cycle. Once cohobated, the rose distillate (hydrosol) passes through a system of micron filtration, beginning with 1 micron and finishing off with 0.2 micron. This is a particularly effective tool to test for heavy metals including lead that, according to our domestic hydrosol supplier, can be a problem with some of the older European stills. Finally, at the producer's on-site laboratory, samples are taken from each batch of hydrosol to ensure it is stable and sterile.3

Among its many uses, Rose Hydrosol’s sublime floral aroma is perfect for refreshing bed linens, room environments, nurseries, and in the car or plane. Its cooling and mildly astringent properties are a gift for mature and sensitive skin. As a facial refresher, it adds and helps retain moisture in dry and aging skin. Rose Hydrosol may be used in masks and steams, in the bath, as a toner, and to moisten skin before application of facial oils. Botanical formulators find use for Rose Hydrosol in body lotions, facial serums, after-shaves, creams, gels and other preparations.

Our hydrosols are distilled using fresh plant material that not only allows capture of all the volatiles, but most importantly, the cellular water from the living plant. It is this cellular water, imbued with nourishing minerals and fatty acids, that make it dynamic and vibrant compared to using dried out material with a resulting loss of those important skin-refreshing and aromatic molecules.4 Aromatic hydrosols contain the water-soluble active principles of the plant. They retain a tiny amount of essential oil compounds (about 0.2 grams/liter5) - mostly the gentler, more hydrophilic aromatic esters and alcohols (like citronellyl acetate and phenylethanol) - and are subsequently unlikely to cause skin irritation.6

The gentleness of hydrosols is ideally suited in the delivery of their attributes for children, the elderly, and those with pronounced sensitivities. They are also a profound and delightful way to experience and appreciate the life force - with all its potentiality for wholeness - found in the aromatic waters of the plants.

  • Understanding Hydrolats: The Specific Hydrosols for Aromatherapy, Len and Shirley Price, 2004, pp. 135-7.

PLEASE NOTE: The hydrosols we offer are specifically distilled for the hydrosol, not as a co-product or even a by-product. The plant's cellular water and many components - normally lost under pressurized short steam runs for essential oil, or by using dried material - are what the producers specifically distill for by using only fresh plant material right from their farm or from local farms to ensure that the plant material is as fresh as possible.7


Aromatic Profile: The scent of fresh roses - sweet, distinctive floral, with a soft citrus highlight and a subtle, honeyed, coumarin-like undertone.


Stability/Shelf Life: We recommend using this hydrosol within 1.5 years from date of purchase. Please keep refrigerated to prolong freshness. If transferring to a different container, use containers (preferably glass) that have been thoroughly sterilized.


Use: Body / Skin care. Its pH generally falls in the range of (4.1 - 4.4).8


Safety Considerations: No known contraindications.

not good Review by

I bought 2 hydrofoils, Rose and rose geranium, both smelled skunky. I went ahead with one recipe using it for facial cleanser thinking maybe after it was all incorporated it would be ok, but it still smelled like skunk. I'll just have to toss out both bottles, what a waste of money.

Use it before placing oils on my skin Review by

I use this produce which they sent me one for free at first then I bought one. This is great for priming your face before you put on oils. I spray this lightly on my face let it slightly dry then apply the oil, usually prickly pear seed mixed with something else. People keep asking about my skin and what I'm doing. Works well as a presoak pretty much.

First off, thank you Eden Botanicals for adding this as a FREE GIFT in my last order! I LOVE this. I mist my face before applying my facial serum (that I make with Eden Botanicals EOs) and it is wonderful. I will be ordering this for my regular facial routine now!!

I got this as a gift and I was mind-blown with the quality. It smells divine and lingers on the skin for a while. It's my new nighttime perfume. Thank you Eden Botanicals!

I ordered this just for fun since the price was so good, and frankly I was expecting just another “rose water.” I was so wrong. This fragrance is truly spectacular. Subtle, gorgeous, rich rose. I cannot wait to gift this to others. L O V E.

This is a very lovely, high quality hydrosol. As an avid user of rose hydrosol in my beauty regimen, I am very pleased with the crisp aroma and potency. My hair looks great, and even better my scalp feels great after rinsing with it, and my complexion is nice and bright after toning with it. I will definitely buy it again.

Little rose smell Review by

Very disappointed, it smells green like they used foliage instead of flowers. I cannot smell but barely a hint of rose, I think rose water has more smell. What a waste I bought 4oz.

Eden Botanical's organic rose hydrosol is a treat for the nose as well as the skin. I tested my bottle (lot# 1) 2 months after opening and it came in at 5-5.25 ph. This makes it the ideal ph for my skin (and the results speak for themselves)! I've been using this mostly as a toner, but it's also useful as a wake-up spray, room spray, or hair perfume. You can also use a few sprays in a diffuser to humidify your house. The smell is gorgeous and very unlike most rose hydrosols I’ve come across. The aroma reminds me of rose otto, it doesn't have the typical phenyl ethyl alcohol dominant smell. I can’t quite put my finger on the constituents responsible, I’m guessing it has more citronellol or geraniol than most. The scent is citrus, floral, and fresh, it smells very much like a fine high end fragrance. I do detect a very slight undertone of honey, perhaps some phenyl acetic acid? The drydown won't be to everyone's liking but I happen to love a pungent rose.

This is rose hydrosol with a kick - it's soulful, fierce, and energizing. Whereas most rose hydrosols smell timid and linear, Eden's offering is complex and layered. I absolutely LOVE that it is distilled from fresh flowers, you can certainly smell the difference between this and any commercial rose hydrosol on the market. This product is profoundly therapeutic for my skin, and I'm certain it has other beneficial properties I haven't even discovered yet.

As always with Eden Botanicals, you're getting the highest quality rose hydrosol in production. The packaging is a gorgeous, sleek glass bottle with an incredible spray top that perfectly dispenses the right amount of hydrosol with even diffusion (sprayer only comes with the 2 oz and under sizes, but you can decant larger orders yourself). I would absolutely recommend incorporating this treat into your skincare routine. The benefits are endless and Eden's version is certainly the best I've come across. I am so pleased to find a rose hydrosol that doesn't just smell like cheap phenyl ethyl alcohol. This is the real deal, my friends. :)
