Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 There is very little scientific research on the hydrosol, but it has been used for possibly thousands of years. The most important uses are as a cooling anti inflammatory wash for damaged skin and sore eyes. It is ideal for babies bottoms when the skin is getting sore, or for other sore patches in adults around that delicate area. It is much better than essential oils where the skin is in a highly irritated state already, ie. psoriasis and eczema. This is all provided the hydrosol is bug free which certain suppliers can prove, but beware of those suppliers who do not test their hydrosols for contamination. Of course any claims such as rejuvenating the skin are just hogwash - yes you will come across that one! Like with lavender oil, there may be chemicals in rose hydrosol that aid regeneration of damaged skin cells but this is not the same as regenerating undamaged skin. Used as the water phase in a skin cream, it creates a lovely gentle soothing cream suitable for almost anything. There are of course many other uses for this hydrosol, at least it is one with sound traditional uses, unlike many others you will see being hyped on the internet.
