Formulating cosmetic and skincare products is an ancient art. Originally these products contained simple, naturally found ingredients mixed with oils. Over the years, the application of natural oils and rosewater became a part of beauty regimens and these products are now commonplace in daily skincare. Rosewater is an essential floral water, also known as a hydrosol, which comes from organically steam-distilling rose petals. Pure rosewater contains only two ingredients: rose petals and water. Adding anything other than these dilutes the purpose. However, many cosmetic products, even those that are prepared from natural ingredients, are packed with unnecessary chemicals that could do more harm than good. You really need to know what you are putting on your skin, as your skin absorbs these ingredients like a sponge and the effects can be seen - long term.

Purvari’s rose petal mist is 100% natural and clearly marked, “Steamed Distillate Rosa Damascena,” which lets you know that it was made by steam-distilling pure rose petals. The time-intensive process of distilling the rose petals results in a product rich in the potent natural properties of the petal itself. Locking in the beneficial nutrients of the rose, it contains essential nutrients that keep your skin healthy and glowing. We ensure that there aren’t any synthetic additives that could harm your skin.

While selecting rosewater for daily skincare, also be aware and beware of what you are applying on your skin. Here are a few pointers:

Packed with Vitamin A, C, D and B6

Rosewater is packed with nutrients that are essential to shed dead cells, stimulate cell renewal and give your skin a fresh and bright glow. It is a rich source of antioxidants and is jam-packed with Vitamins such as A, C, D and B6 which are known to lower inflammation and clear away acne-causing bacteria. Furthermore, it adds back the lost moisture if applied to dull and dry skin daily.

No harmful parabens

Parabens are essentially chemical compounds that are used as preservatives in cosmetics. Although they are added to keep bacteria away, they do have some harmful effects on your skin. They can cause skin irritation and a variety of reactions and allergies depending on your skin.  

No harmful sulphates

Sulphates are added to many cosmetics as cleansing and foaming agents. However, they may clog pores and irritate your skin even further.

Geraniol gives rosewater its natural aroma

Rosewater contains 0.9 - 7% geraniol. It gives a subtle and natural aroma to rosewater. This makes rosewater soothing, harmonizing, anti-depressive and consoling. Rosewater does not require any extra additives or scents and ensures that you buy fragrance-free products.

Packed with Antioxidants and polyphenols

Polyphenols possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. They restore skin health and help fight aging. They can also be exploited for the prevention of a variety of skin disorders caused by excessive exposure to solar UV rays.

100% alcohol-free and cruelty-free, Purvari’s Rose Petal Mist is a good addition to your daily skincare routine. While it’s a good decision to switch to known, age-old skincare techniques, using all-natural ingredients, it’s essential to check what you are actually applying on your skin - it absorbs most of it!
