Synthetic scented water vs. genuine therapeutic floral hydrosol
Walk into any cosmetics aisle and you will find numerous bottles labeled 'Rose Water'. However, a closer look at the ingredient labels often reveals a startling truth: many cheap commercial alternatives are simply demineralized tap water mixed with synthetic rose fragrance oils, alcohol, and harsh preservatives.
Authentic Rose Water (Rosa damascena hydrosol) is an entirely different product. At Surele, our rose water is produced through slow, low-temperature steam hydro-distillation. As pure steam passes through thousands of fresh, handpicked rose petals, it vaporizes the volatile aromatic micro-droplets. When the steam condenses into copper coils, it yields pure hydrosol carrying natural water-soluble plant nutrients and trace rose essential oil.
Pure steam-distilled rose water contains zero added alcohol or artificial colors. It imparts a delicate, authentic floral fragrance with mild astringent and calming properties.
