Rose hydrosol is produced through the steam distillation of rose petals. Although it is a byproduct of rose essential oil production, it has a wide range of applications in the cosmetics industry. For more information, visit https://www.phenome.eu/pl/blog/rozany-rytual-dla-zdrowia-i-urody
As a rule, rose hydrosols are made from the petals of the Damask rose (Rosa damascena) or the hundred-petaled rose (Rosa centifolia). Both have wonderful properties for dry, oily, and all skin types in between. While a high concentration of essential oils is ideal for dry skin care, hydrosol contains the same properties but in a lower concentration, so it does not irritate the skin. Hydrosol is also distinguished by its light texture, which easily delivers nutrients. This is why rose hydrosol is such a valuable base for daily facial care products.
Rose hydrosol is invaluable for all skin types, as it has regenerative properties and deeply moisturizes the skin. Another undeniable benefit is its beautiful, stress-relieving scent.
Rose hydrosol refreshes tired, dry skin and deeply moisturizes it. It will give your skin a healthy glow and make it smoother and softer to the touch.
If you have sensitive skin, rose hydrosol will soothe it and reduce redness.
Rose hydrosol is also a godsend for sensitive skin, as it strengthens blood vessels and minimizes discoloration.
What’s more, people with mature skin should incorporate rose hydrosol into their skincare routine, as it gently tightens the skin and is a source of antioxidants that protect against free radicals.
On the other hand, it is beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which help fight acne and soothe the skin.
However, its properties enhance the effects of other active ingredients, making it ideal as a base for cosmetics—from creams and masks to toners. Studies show that replacing plain water with hydrosol significantly boosts the effectiveness of all cosmetics. That is why at Phenomé we use only hydrosols as the base for our cosmetics.
Hydrosol is another name for rose water. So it’s safe to say they’re one and the same! However, don’t confuse it with scented water, because its beautiful fragrance is entirely natural.
Since ancient times, rose hydrosol has been considered a “cure-all” and a miraculous beauty product. Although it has a similar composition and properties to rose oil, it is much gentler, making it ideal for sensitive and even allergic dry skin.
Rose hydrosol is a great solution after winter, when dry skin needs to be hydrated and nourished. It’s also packed with ingredients essential for anti-aging skincare, such as flavonoids and vitamins A, B, C, and E. Thanks to these, it gently tightens the skin and evens out skin tone. Meanwhile, its content of geraniol, citronellol, linalool, phenethyl alcohol, and nerol helps refresh problematic skin, combat acne, and normalize oily skin. It is also used in products for matte skin.
It is successfully used as a base for toners because it helps maintain the skin’s proper pH balance and effectively yet gently moisturizes the skin.
Its cleansing and soothing properties, on the other hand, make it ideal for use in micellar water.
It’s a good idea to apply it to your skin in the morning and at night, which is why your skincare cream should contain it. It can therefore be used by people of all ages for any type of skincare routine.
