CORTAS Rose Water (300 ml - 10 fl oz)

For years I paid ridiculous amounts of money for small quantities of rose water as a facial cleanser, despite knowing how cheap and easy it is to make rose water in my country of origin. I finally decided to look for rose water from the Middle East, even if it's the kind that's added to deserts etc. because it's exactly the same thing. So, I was delighted to find this outstanding product because of how good (yet subtle) it smells, the great price, and how much I enjoy using it on my skin. I use it twice a day, every morning and evening and I'm not sure whether it's making a "difference" to my skin, but I enjoy the ritual of it and it makes me feel good.

You have to read the ingredients before you get rose water. Some of them are just purified water with rose essence. This is pure quality rose water. I use it as a toner and it's very good for the skin.

Ok so this is by far the best value for money rose water ever. I use it for so many things. I mix in with face masks, use as cleansers, it helps with my dry eyes/lips, I use it to soothe minor cat scratches and for helping with acne. I've also used it for helping with a scratchy throat as i sometimes get throat infections and this helps, I've used it to sooth tooth/gum pain when combined with a clove or two as well as for cleaning newly pierced ears and mixed in hair masks/arctic fox hair dye. Oh and I have used it as part of my Wicca practice so all in all really reccomend this product for a variety of things! Value for money please support this brand as they know what they are doing! Note on flavour, definitely rose and not fake sweet rose, I suggest if you plan to drink itnornuse it in food that you add a sweetener as this is a bit bitter and earthy as rose should be. Strong scent too but I love it! Diy Face mask (please note these are estimate measurements) 1 desert spoon Zinc powder ( for acne and to reduce inflammation) 3 desert spoons pink clay ( to cleanse ) 1 desert spoon rose water ( antibacterial, anti inflammatory, softening, hydrating) 2-3 desert spoons of normal water ( mix to desired consistency) store in clean, airtight jar in fridge and monitor . Should have enough for 4-8 applications depending how you mix it. When mixing it may clump but keep mixing before thinking about adding more water as sometimes it miraculously turns into the perfect consistency when you keep going. When spooning mix don't have huge heaps of powder but not quite flat. Leave on till dry or for 10 minutes. Whichever you like. Wash off with warm water (though i like to buff it off dry with my hands like a mad women)

I bought this to make rose creams. On opening the bottle I was struck by the lovely rose scent, however I needed far more than the recipe stated to get any rose flavour. This made the mixture too wet, but I couldn’t add more sugar because that would make the flavour weaker. In the end I piped the mixture into rosettes and am hoping that the texture of the finished sweets will be ok. I think this rose water will be more useful for skincare. Update - the texture of the sweets was wrong, the rose scent vanished after a day and there was no rose flavour. I would not use this rose water for food preparation again. I have since ordered a concentrated rose flavouring and will keep this for skincare.

Lovely flavour and smell, also works really well as skin toner

Probably the best rose water I have used to date.

Why did you choose this product over others?: Pure rose water is great for the skin, this is the best as you can use it in cooking. Really good value, will be buying again. Smells beautiful of course.

If you like baklava you probably know what this is for, and it works wonderfully.
