Rose Extract

Rosa Damascena Flower Extract · Rosa Damascena Flower WaterSoothing

Flower extract or distilled rose water. Mild humectant; the marketing claims usually exceed the evidence.

What it does

Rose extract is most often the distilled rose-petal water rather than a concentrated active extract. It contributes a small humectant effect and a recognizable scent. The 'rose for aging concerns' claims are generally not well-supported. Rose extract can be a fragrance allergen for some users — citronellol, geraniol, and eugenol from rose are on the EU's 26-fragrance-allergen list.

Also known as

rosa damascena, rose flower extract
