What Is Rosemary Water?

Rosemary water is the hydrosol produced during the steam distillation of rosemary leaves. It contains the water-soluble antioxidant compounds of rosemary in a gentle, skin-compatible form.

The hydrosol provides antioxidant protection and has mild astringent properties. It helps tone and refresh the skin while protecting against environmental damage.

Rosemary water also has natural preservative properties that can enhance product stability.
