Fantastic or fake - the beauty trend Rosewater

by Leonie Poppe

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's always a bit dangerous to trust in one-size-fits-all 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 persists. 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.

To the product

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

Because what is Rosewater actually?

Rosewater is a hydrolate. This means that it is created during the production of essential oils through a process 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 is then 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, as 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. This makes Rosewater a super mild alternative to rose oil, especially for sensitive skin. You can find out more about the properties of Rosewater below.

Rosewater is not the same as Rosewater

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 a proportion of essential oils, others that are preserved or those that do without both but need to be used up quickly. So Rosewater is not the same as Rosewater! However, as we know, essential oils have a high allergy potential. And preservatives, such as alcohols, are not exactly good for our skin either .

THE JUNGLÜCK ROSEWATER

As already mentioned, our Rosewater is obtained 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!

To the product

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

To guarantee the best shelf life, 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 makes rose water so wonderful and mild at the same time. And for my skin, that of my friends and also 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?

Versatile Skincare

Rose hydrolate is particularly suitable as toner after cleanser. It regulates the pH-value of the skin and prepares it perfectly for the following care. This allows your skin to absorb additional nutrients well. Spray the Rosewater directly onto your skin or soak a cotton pad with it. Gently stroke the pad over your face. This removes the last traces of make-up, dirt and debris and soothes your skin at the same time.

Benefits for every skin type!

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

Rosewater-Eye compress

Our lovely Sophia's tip: "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 the eyes goes down and I can use the time for myself and relax."

Bye, bye Puffy Eyes!

Once from top to bottom please - Bodycare with Rosewater!

Not only to face, but also other parts of your body (upper arms, décolleté, back) can be irritated and prone to redness. A small spray of the cooling (kept in the fridge) Rosewater can quickly provide relief, reduce redness and significantly relax your skin. Even after shaving!

Shiny hair and soothed scalp with Rosewater

To give your hair a great shimmer, spray the wonderfully fragrant spray into your towel-dried hair.For soft lengths and healthy ends - the perfect leave-inconditioner.

Or do you have an itchy and irritated scalp? Perhaps you also suffer from dandruff? Thanks to the balanced composition of active ingredients in the rose, your skin's cell renewal is stimulated. Oil production is regulated without drying out and irritated scalps are noticeably soothed.

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, it's different with Rosewater , 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, Rosewaterhas become an indispensable 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. :)
