How to make Rose Water Toner using fresh Rose Petals

Beauty· Beauty recipes· Foraging· Skincare recipes

Instructions on how to make rose water toner using fresh rose petals. Use directly on your skin as a natural toner or blend it with oils to create creams and lotions

People have used rose water for generations as a natural yet gentle astringent. Probably long before we had commercially produced rose water, the average person would have used this very method to make soothing and cleansing skin toners. It’s just so simple! You apply it with a spray bottle or cotton pad and it helps to cleanse and tighten the skin and to reduce redness and inflammation. It’s also very sensitive and can be used on most skin types making it a great addition to creams and lotions.

True rosewater is made by distillation so this recipe is technically an infusion. However, an infusion of rose petals can provide just as much skin-loving therapy as some of the more expensive products. Rose absolute and rose hydrosol are beautiful skin therapeutic extracts but they can also be pricey. This recipe will give you a sweetly scented natural skin toner that you can make yourself for practically nothing. All you need is rose petals and distilled water.

Homemade rose water is great for cleansing and tightening the skin

Which rose petals to use?

At the end of the process, rose water should smell softly of roses. If you want even a little of the fragrance to remain then it’s best to start with old fashioned or wild roses. The more fragrant the roses, the more fragrant your rose water will be. Any rose petals will do though.

Another thing to consider is that the color of the rose petals will affect the color of the rose toner. If you use pink or red roses then it will be pink, white roses and it will be clear, orange roses and it will be yellow. I personally wouldn’t say that the color means that one is better than the other but I do prefer using pink or red roses.

Deeply scented old fashioned roses are excellent for making rose water

Wild Rose Petals

My favorite rose to use for this recipe is any of the wild roses. There are about half a dozen different types but the ones on my doorstep are rosa rugosa (beach rose) and rosa canina (dog rose). When foraging for wild roses, pick the petals direct from the flower, leaving the hip in place. It could already be pollinated and you could return in the autumn to pick them for rose-hip syrup or tea. With garden roses, place your hand over the flower and gently pull all the petals off. They tend to come off fairly easily if the flower has been blooming for a few days.

Rosa Rugosa and a white Rosa Canina – both are types of wild roses

Make Rose Water

To make rosewater, pick about three cups of rose petals. Leave them outside on a tea towel to allow any insects to escape. Give them around half an hour.

Next, put the rose petals into a saucepan. You can fill it up all the way to the top with rose petals if you’d like. Fill the pan with water (preferably distilled) until the petals are just covered. Place a lid on the pan and heat on low until most of the color has faded from the petals. It will take about twenty minutes and whatever you do, keep the water from coming to a simmer. Too much heat can destroy the flower’s beneficial properties and color.

Gently heat the rose petals with distilled water

Straining and using Rose Water for Skin

After the petals have paled considerably, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer and compost the remaining rose petals. Pour the rose water toner into a sterilized jar, allow it to cool, and then keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to use it. Kept this way, it will keep for about a week.

You can use rose water toner on its own with a cotton pad or as a face mist with a mini spray bottle. It provides immediate freshness, reduces redness and inflammation, and smells lovely. When you use it on a pad you’ll notice that it picks up a lot of grime and make-up too. Afterward, your skin feels squeaky clean and if the rose water is fragrant enough, you can smell roses coming off your skin.

Strain the rose petals out when they’ve lost their color

Using Rose Water in Lotions

If you’d like the rose water toner to last a lot longer, you can use it to make handmade lotions and creams. They’ll provide all the benefits of rose water plus the benefits of the oils you use. The preservatives you use in lotion-making will extend the life of your rose water too. Use homemade rose water in any of my lotion recipes by just substituting part or all of the water content with rose water.

      Never use roses from supermarket or florist bouquets in skincare or for edible flowers. Unfortunately, they’re sprayed with pesticides and other agents during their growth period. For this recipe you can use fresh or dried food-grade rose petals and/or roses you’ve grown yourself organically.

    I made some Rose Water today with the Wild English Roses I have growing in my garden. Who knew I could make my own Rose Water. I would like to make a large amount to last me all year round. The bush only blossoms in June every year. What I made today, I put in ice cube trays to freeze. I would like to use a safe natural preservative in the water so that I could give as gifts at Christmas. You mentioned in an earlier post to use Natural phenethyl alcohol. I have looked on-line for it but can’t find it. Where can I buy this. Thank you!

    When you boil tap qater, you actually concentrate the bad chemicals. Boiling only kills germs in contaminated water. Tap needs to be put through a filter that removes especially fluoride.

      Unfortunately, you shouldn’t use rose petals from the supermarket or florist flowers. Flowers grown for the cut flower industry are sprayed in pesticides and fungicides that are not safe for human consumption or cosmetics.

      Outdoor grown organic roses are the best source of rose petals for skincare. Greenhouse grown (aka supermarket roses) have almost no scent and may be sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, and goodness knows what else. Not the best way to start with making natural skin products. Best to use spring water or distilled water too. Tap water has all kinds of impurities and chemicals like fluoride and chlorine, not to mention heavy minerals in some areas.

      You could, however, it could invite bacterial growth since there wouldn’t be enough preservative in the original lotion to counter the extra water. I’d try it on the go rather than mix it all together in a pot.

      Personally I wouldn’t do it. You can use it in cold-process soap but it will likely brown. I wouldn’t advise using any water-liquid in m&p since it will likely seep with the glycerin out of the bars. Imagine wet and sticky soap.

        No, it won’t leave your skin pink. After a week the toner may begin to grow mold, especially if it’s left at room temperature. That’s the way things go if you don’t use a preservative.

    Now I have a dilemma, your rose water sounds lovely. But I only have so many rose petals and I was going to try and make Rose petal preserve this year.Having never tried either I am not sure which to try

    This is something we used to make as kids – is it any wonder that I have a divine complexion – ha ha!

    I thought it was some complicated extraction method of sorts, it looks simple!

      'Proper' Rose water that you buy in shops is extracted in a distilling process. You can hack the process of distilling at home but making Rose Water this way, using an infusion, is far easier.

    Rose water sounds lovely. I've got a many petalled rose in the garden, so I might try this one while it is flowering. Another great post Tanya, I'm looking forward to hearing about how you make the cream.

    Thank you for the post, I am going to have a go as I love rose water but have never dared try to make it myself xx

    Excited about your creams recipes too as most commercial creams irritate my skin.
