This simply means that when the petals are heated with water, the resulting steam is cooled to create a clear distilled liquid or hydrosol. Rose water is an antibacterial.

Using rose water for face and body care can prevent wounds such as burns and cuts becoming infected and it can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars when used in high concentrations. Because it can help heal wounds, rose water is a must-have ingredient to include in your daily routine if you have blemish-prone skin.
