Real and quality flower waters are 100% natural or organic and don't contain chemical additives or preservatives. They are aqueous solutions, they are products of the distillation of herbs and plants. They are produced during the production process of the essential oil, where together with it the water of the plant is extracted. During the distillation of the plant, the volatile aromatic oils become essential oils, while the aqueous aromatic distillate that remains gives us the flower water. Flower waters keep a significant part of the essential oils of the plant from which they come, which is why they are particularly beneficial for the skin.

Precautions instructions
Flower waters are for external use only. It is recommended not to take flower water by mouth. Although flower waters are perfectly safe for topical use, every skin type is different. So if you have any allergy or sensitivity to any of the plants, test on a small spot of your skin before applying.
If you are pregnant, have epilepsy, have liver damage, cancer or any other serious medical problem, first discuss your situation with a doctor or certified aromatherapist. Flower waters have a long shelf life, because bacteria and germs are very difficult to live in their acidic environment. If stored properly and in a dark, cool place away from atmospheric air, they can be kept for more than two years. If their aroma changes or if the water becomes cloudy it is best not to use them.
