Organic Rosewater Recipe:
What is does:
Hydrates and purifies skin
Anti-bacterial
Stimulates circulation
Maintains PH balance
Calms acne, sunburn and eczema
What you need:
1 cup fresh or slightly fresh organic rose petals – you are only going to be using the petals (any color, I usually use red, but in this recipe I used yellow roses)
2 cups filtered water
2-4 Tbsp almond oil or any oil you prefer (jojoba oil is also very nice!)
Optional: Add 2-4 drops of CBD oil
*** Most roses sold in the grocery store are not organic. To keep the recipe organic check your local farmers market or use roses from your own organic garden.
How create the rosewater:
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in saucepan, turn down heat to low.
Add rose petals to water (if you are using slightly browned, select the best petals and remove the dry portion)
Use spoon to push the petals under the water, cover saucepan and let simmer until the rose petal loses its color. You will see rose oil floating on the top.
Allow mixture to completely cool, strain and put to the side.
***TIP: Store your extra rose water in the fridge! This will help keep it longer so you can use it to make more mist or other beauty products such as toner.
To create the rosewater mist:
Add 1/2 cup rose petal water to spray bottle
Add in 2-4 oil based on your skin type (For dry skin, use 3-4 tbsp, For oily skin, use 2 tbsp)
Shake well and it is ready to use!
***TIP: I also like to keep the rose water mist in the fridge. It does not spoil for months but this will give you a nice cool mist to use during those hot summer months. Pregnancy in the heat can be tough!
For this recipe, I reused an old glass spray bottle. You can find some great deals on Amazon or in stores like HomeGoods. A 4oz bottle is a great size to buy so you can take it along with you.
