Rosa damascena mill L, commonly known as Damask rose, is known
as Gole Mohammadi in Iran. It is one of the most important species of Rosaceae
family. Rosaceae are well- known ornamental plants and have been referred to as
the king of flowers. At present time, over 200 rose species and more than 18000
cultivars form of the plant have been identified. Apart from the use of R. damascena as ornamental plants in parks,
gardens, and houses, they are principally cultivated for using in perfume,
medicine and food industry. However, R. damascena is
mainly known for its perfuming effects. The rose water were scattered at
weddings to ensure a happy marriage and are symbol of love and purity and are
also used to aid meditation and prayer.
Also known as hydrosols, floral
waters are actually a by-product of the steam distillation process used to
capture essential oils. During a normal essential oil distillation process, the
steam containing the oils is cooled to turn it into water, and the essential
oils floating on top are skimmed off and bottled. The remaining water is
considered floral water! Any floral water contains water, water-soluble
components of the plant, and trace amounts of the essential oil. This unique
composition lends each floral water a full spectrum of the essence and properties
of the botanical material from which it was derived. Though they are most often
called floral waters, hydrosols can be produced from any plant matter like
herbs, needles, leaves, woods, barks, and seeds.
Floral waters have many valuable
uses in beauty, skincare, haircare, and household products. At Venkatramna
Industries, we offer wide range of floral waters for a variety of product
applications. They can be sold as pure floral waters to be used as sprays and
spritzers, or they can be strategically blended with other ingredients to
create versatile consumer products.
