What are the effects and functions of rose water?

Rose hydrosol is a common skin care product in life. This product solves many skin problems of women. If you use rose hydrosol frequently, it also has the effect of whitening, moisturizing and hydrating. The nature of rose hydrosol is very gentle and generally has no irritation to the skin. It is very popular among female friends. If rose hydrosol is used to maintain the skin, the effect is very good.

Rose hydrosol, also known as rose water essential oil, is made by stirring freshly picked rose flowers with salt to seal in the fragrance, then putting them into a distillation tank to separate the oil and water. Rose hydrosol dissolves in water and has the effects of replenishing moisture, moisturizing, quickly reducing inflammation, anti-allergic, relieving itching, and delaying aging.

Rose flowers picked from rose planting bases must be processed immediately to avoid the volatilization of effective aromatic substances and reduce the amount of essential oil extraction. The method used is to stir with salt to seal the flowers to release their fragrance, and the sealed flowers can then be distilled. Flowers are placed in a distillation tank, where they are heated and pressurized for distillation. The steam after distillation is cooled and condensed to form distilled water, which then enters an oil-water separator. The oil-water separator is at low temperature with essential oil on top and distillate on the bottom. The separated essential oil is extracted and enters the essential oil storage container, and the distillate below circulates into the distillation tank to continue heating and evaporation. Because this part of the distillate contains essential oils that have not been extracted. This cycle is repeated until the essential oil is extracted. The remaining liquid is the hydrosol. Hydrosol is finally produced in the form of nearly colorless distilled water. This kind of hydrosol can be regarded as true 100% hydrosol.

During the distillation process, the salt originally added is precipitated in the tank and the liquid in the tank cannot be completely evaporated. These liquids that have not been finally evaporated cannot be added to the pure water. Once added, the salt will inevitably be mixed in, and the color of the pure water is transparent and colorless.

1. Distillation extraction.

Fresh rose petals are collected and distilled to extract the active ingredients. By using pressure extraction method, the original ingredients can be maintained.

2. Steam distillation

The roses are placed in a vacuum-sealed boiling water, which is then heated until steam forms, and then the steam is cooled until it becomes liquid. The speed is slow and the effective ingredients in the hydrosol are difficult to maintain.

odor

Rose water is extracted by distillation. After high temperature and high pressure, it has a slightly sour taste. The product blended with essence has no herbal taste. Everyone feels differently about the smell of hydrosol. What some people feel smells good may not smell good to another. This is because of the problem with the human olfactory system. It is much more difficult for people to describe olfactory sensations than visual sensations. Therefore, everyone's smell perception is different. One thing in common is that if you feel that the smell of this hydrosol is bad, if you keep using it for a few days, you will find that the smell seems to have changed and is not so bad. After a few more days, you will probably feel that it smells very good. Naturally, hydrosol becomes a part of your life and you can't live without it.

Some professional hydrosol distiller will make different rose hydrosols according to different rose varieties. Emilia in the French flower town divides rose hydrosol into French rose hydrosol and Damascus rose hydrosol. French rose is also called Thousand Leaf Rose or Perfume Rose. It is the main raw material for making high-end perfumes in France. This kind of rose has a pleasant fragrance and its price is higher than that of Damascus rose.

effect

Rose hydrosol is pure rose extract without any fragrance, moisturizer, preservatives, etc. It is a truly natural product, so it is particularly gentle and safe. Rose hydrosol contains a large amount of volatile aromatic components of rose flowers. These aromatic components are divided into two parts. The part that is insoluble in water is rose essential oil, and the part that is soluble in water is rose hydrosol. It also contains large-molecular aromatic ingredients, and the composition is particularly complex, with about 300 kinds of ingredients, mainly alcohols, aldehydes, acids, esters, ethers, etc. These ingredients all play their own unique roles, so rose hydrosol has a comprehensive balancing effect. For neutral skin, it can enhance skin luster; for oily skin, it can balance oil secretion; for dry skin, it can quickly replenish moisture; for sensitive skin, it can eliminate red blood streaks and reduce sensitivity; for grayish and dull skin, it can enhance skin vitality. Almost all people with different skin types can use rose hydrosol to achieve extraordinary beauty effects.

The effect of rose hydrosol comes from its ability to directly penetrate into the cells, which is something that ordinary water-soluble products cannot do. Therefore, its moisturizing effect does not stay on the surface of the skin, but quickly replenishes the moisture of the cells and increases the water content in the cells, fundamentally solving the problem of dry skin. This is why rose hydrosol does not rely on moisturizers to achieve excellent moisturizing effects.

Don’t think that the effect of rose water ends after replenishing the water in the cells. On the contrary, it has just begun. Its active ingredients act directly on the inside of cells, relying on enhancing the activity of capillaries closely connected to the cells to achieve the effects of nutrient supply, toxin elimination, and balancing blood vessels and oil secretion.
