ROSE WATER AND ITS BENEFITS

ROSE WATER HOW TO OBTAIN?

It is known that people discovered rose water by boiling rose petals in water in order to use the beautiful scents of roses that bloom in May-June every year throughout the year. In time, with the invention of the distillation method, rose water began to be obtained in the most accurate way. Distillation can be defined as the distillation method with water vapor. Freshly collected rose flowers are placed in distillation tanks with some water and boiled. The evaporated flower essences are distilled with a special cooling process and both rose water and rose oil are obtained.

There are approximately 13,500 varieties of roses in the world, including hybrids. But the most special variety is the Rosa Damascena variety, known as the Isparta rose in our country. Rosa Damascena rose is especially preferred due to its intense scent and high oil yield. This very delicate flower blooms only once a year and in the spring months with the warming of the weather. The flower, which remains on the branch for a few days without being picked, immediately falls off under the effect of the heat. For this reason, it should be picked early in the morning and urgently.

Approximately 2,000,000 Rosa Damascena flowers yield 1 kg of rose oil. During this process, approximately 2,000-2,500 kg of rose water is obtained. Rosa Damascena flowers, which are very laborious to process, are a calming and balancing natural tonic suitable for all skin types.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND NATURAL ROSE WATER?

To understand the right product, first of all, the ingredients section of the label information should only say Rosa Damescena Flower Water. The product should be pure. Real, natural and pure rose water has a unique, sharp rose scent. Like every natural product, it may show slight variations depending on the product collected in that season. It does not always smell the same and does not resemble perfume. Today, many rose waters sold under different brands in the sector have perfume added to them. Synthetic perfume scents can be easily distinguished by those who know natural rose water.

The absence of preservatives indicates the purity of the product you will purchase. In order for a natural rosewater to be defined as Isparta Rosewater, it must contain at least 0.05% rose oil. In special series rose yeasts, this rate can increase to 0.20-0.25%.
