Ingredient list is available below:
Homemade rosewater & Face Toner
INGREDIENTS:
Homemade Rosewater: • 7 Organic Roses • 1.5 L Distilled water (enough to cover the rose petals)
Homemade Rosewater Face Toner: • 1 Tbsp. Pure Rosewater • 4 Tbsp. Distilled Water (or enough to fill your spray bottle) • 1 – 2.5 oz. spray bottle
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove petals from stems and run them under luke-warm water to remove any leftover residue. 2. Add petals to a large pot and top with enough distilled water to just cover (no more or you’ll dilute your rosewater). 3. Over medium-low heat bring the water to a simmer and cover. 4. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes or until petals have lost their color and are pale pink. 5. Strain the mixture to separate the petals from the water. 6. Discard petals and place water in a glass jar to store.
