Aqua Rosae — Formula Harmoniae

I. Description
A soothing floral hydrosol from Rosa damascena, crafted to comfort delicate skin and harmonise the emotional heart.
A gentle companion for sensitive complexions and tender moods alike.

Rosa damascena — hydrating, harmonising, anti-inflammatory, heart-restorative.

Dry, reactive, or mature skin; emotional fragility; grief; exhaustion; hormonal imbalance.

IV. Materia Medica Notes
Rose water holds trace phenethyl alcohol and citronellol — compounds linked to anxiolytic and skin-soothing effects.
From Persian apothecaries to Victorian perfumers, Rose has been medicine for both complexion and soul, its scent said to “open the heart and steady the spirit.”
Inhaled or applied, it cools heat — both physical and emotional — and invites quiet equilibrium.

Mist gently over face, neck, or room space to restore hydration and inner harmony.
Can be layered with other hydrosols to build a personalised aromatic ritual.

VI. Safety
For external use only. Keep sealed, stored below 25 °C, away from direct light. Use within 6–9 months.

Apothecary’s Summary

A water of tenderness —
balancing complexion and emotion,
bringing grace where the heart feels thin.
