Few ingredients evoke the elegance and beauty like rose hydrosol.

At 'Ohana Organics, we are passionate about harnessing the power of herbs to offer you skincare solutions that elevate your beauty ritual naturally. Join us as we explore the world of rose hydrosol and uncover the benefits it brings to your skin.
Hydrosols have a long history dating back to ancient civilizations. They were valued for their therapeutic properties and used in various rituals and ceremonies. In the Middle Ages, distillation techniques became more refined, leading to the production of floral waters or hydrosols as a byproduct of essential oil extraction. These aromatic waters were prized for their skin-loving benefits and became an essential part of skincare and beauty rituals.
Hydrosols are produced through a process called steam distillation, where plant materials are placed in a still with water. As the water is heated, steam passes through the plant material, carrying its volatile compounds. The steam is then cooled, condensing back into water along with the aromatic and therapeutic properties of the plant. The resulting liquid is known as a hydrosol or floral water, containing trace amounts of essential oil as well as water-soluble compounds from the plant.
Rose hydrosol is a natural humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to the skin, helping to hydrate and plump the complexion. Its lightweight texture allows for quick absorption, leaving the skin soft, supple, and radiant. Rose hydrosol also acts as a gentle astringent, helping to tighten pores and restore the skin's natural pH balance. Regular use can help refine the skin texture, minimize the appearance of pores, and promote a smoother, more even complexion.
The gentle, floral aroma of rose hydrosol has a calming effect on the senses, making it an excellent addition to your skincare routine for promoting relaxation and stress relief. Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated or sensitive skin, reducing redness, inflammation, and discomfort. Rich in antioxidants, rose hydrosol also helps protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals. By neutralizing these harmful molecules, rose hydrosol helps prevent premature aging and keeps your skin looking youthful and radiant.
Rose hydrosol emerges as a true gem in the world of natural skincare, offering a multitude of benefits for your skin's health and vitality. At 'Ohana Organics, we believe in the power of rose hydrosol to nurture and rejuvenate your skin from within. Experience the beauty of radiant skin with 'Ohana Organics and embrace the nourishing embrace of rose hydrosol. After all, in every drop of rose hydrosol lies the essence of timeless beauty and grace.
