It feels like there is a new beauty trend every year. An oil, an active ingredient or a water that seems to solve every beauty problem and, when used, turns you into the next Angelina Jolie. After all, she uses this "insider tip" too and just look at her!Yes, sometimes it's difficult to tell what's really as fantastic as it sounds and what's just fake.

But they do exist. The products that can really help. And they can be different for everyone. Of course, it is always a bit dangerous to trust miracle cures. Because what works for one person doesn't necessarily have to be right for you. However, not every beauty trend becomes a myth, but remains one. And for one simple reason: because it works.

THE TREND THAT STAYS: ROSEWATER

A "trend" that started a few years ago. And looks back on several hundred years of history. I can confirm from my own experience and from the feedback from all those around me that this is not just talk.

 However, there are some voices that speak against it. Who express concerns. Because not all Rosewater is the same. And there are a few things you should know and bear in mind.  

Because what exactly is Rosewater ? 

Rosewater is a hydrolate. This means that it is created during the production of essential oils by what is known as steam distillation. One kilogram of freshly picked Rose petals (in our case Damask rose) is distilled into one kilogram of water. The resulting water vapor condenses on a cooler and becomes liquid again. The result: a pure distillate (hydrolate) without any additives. In this case, the non-volatile phase produces the rose oil and contains the rose's fat-soluble ingredients. 

A real win-win situation, because no solvents are required in this manufacturing process and virtually no waste products are produced. Rose oil and Rosewater are used in equal measure. And the content of essential oils in Rosewater is usually negligible. Rosewater is therefore a super mild alternative to rose oil, especially for sensitive skin. You can find out more about the properties ofRosewater below. 

Not all Rosewater is the same 

If the rose hydrolate has been distilled several times and no longer contains any essential oils, it is also more sensitive to germs and must be preserved. If a Rosewater still contains a significant concentration of essential oils due to insufficient distillation, these must also be listed in the INCIs. Otherwise the product may not appear on the market. If no essential oils are listed, then the proportion is so low that it is not sufficient for preservation.

As a result, there are different types of Rosewater. Some with essential oils, others that are preserved or those that do without both but need to be used up quickly. So Rosewater is not just Rosewater! However, as we know essential oils have a high allergy potential. And also Preservative, such as alcohols, are also not exactly good for our skin. 

As already mentioned, our Rosewater is made from Damask roses - medicinal plant of the year 2013. They are grown in the famous Valley of Roses in Bulgaria. Naturally certified organic! Bulgaria is the second largest exporter of rose products in the world after Turkey. Centuries of knowledge combined with perfect geographical and climatic conditions. It could hardly be better!

Thanks to multiple distillation, junglück Rosewater only contains such a small residual amount of essential oils that they have no irritating effect. This gives us a well-tolerated, natural and vegan Rosewater rosewater bottled in glass.

To guarantee the best shelf life, it is best to store the Rosewater in a cool, dark place.

But how does Rosewater work? 

Even if there are those who believe that rose hydrosol has a rather low content of important ingredients, I believe thatthe many positive experiences that go back many years speak for themselves. Perhaps this concentration of valuable antioxidants, vitamins (B and C), tannins and pectins is precisely what gives rose water its great and at the same time mild properties . And for my skin, that of my friends and that of many customers, Rosewater seems to be just right. 

I wouldn't want to miss the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effect of the spray in my daily routine. Romy will also be doing a podcast episode on this topic in the near future. She is also totally enthusiastic about the soothing and regulating effects of the all-rounder.

How do I integrate Rosewater into my daily routine?  

Benefits for every skin type! 

The tannins Treat inflammation and are ideal for blemish prone skin. The formation of new pimples is prevented and pimple marks are reduced at the same time. Pectins help to bind water. dry skin enjoys an extra portion of moisture. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C Protect your skin from free radicals and environmental influences. This naturally puts a stop to skin ageing! Rosewater is therefore also ideal for mature skin suitable. And even very sensitive skin (including couperose, rosacea and neurodermatitis) can be soothed thanks to Rosewater .
The spray is also often recommended for setting and refreshing make-up. 

Rosewater

A tip from our lovely Sophia: "When my eyes feel tired, I sometimes use refreshing eye compresses. I soak a washcloth with junglück Rosewater and put it on my eyes for about 10 minutes. Afterwards, the skin around my eyes feels fresh and soft. Puffiness around my eyes goes down and I can use the time for myself and relax."

Bye, bye Puffy Eyes!

Aromatherapy with Rosewater

In addition to the beauty and skin benefits of rose water, there's one thing I shouldn't forget to mention: the great fragrance! I have to admit that I'm not really a big fan of rose fragrances. It's always been too heavy and too sweet for me. But strangely enough, Rosewater is different, on the contrary: it's fresh, super light and almost fruity. I'm now a real fan.

In aromatherapy, rose is preferably used to relax and calm the body and mind. It is also used in the treatment of headaches and sleep disorders.

And finally, as you may already know, Rosewater has become an integral part of the kitchen. Indian, oriental and even French specialties rely on the unmistakable aroma of the miracle flower. 

See for yourself. Maybe Rosewater is your new beauty favorite!

Here's to rosy times and even rosier skin. :)
