Today I went to The Russian River Rose Company in Healdsburg, CA on the Classic Perfume Harvest Tour. I watched freshly picked rose petals being distilled into Rose Water (also known as Rose Hydrosol). Their rose water is divine. Rose water makes an excellent facial toner. It is gentle, non-drying and moisturizing for the skin. It can be used in a formulation for a luxury facial cream.Pick perfume roses in their garden of over 650 rose varieties.

This sounds like a place I'd like to visit. I love roses!
Hi Michelle,
Roses are one of my favorite flowers. I use rose hydrosol as a toner and facial mist most of the time.
