Review of Flower Water Rose/Glycerine w/Atomizer 4 FL Oz Heritage Products

Ahhhh ..... first you take the wonders of rosewater (which are many) and then you add some nice skin moisturizing vegetable glycerin to it ... and you have one of the nicest body sprays around.

Especially in the winter time when skin (mine at least) gets so dry from the indoor heating, layers of clothing, and biting cold air outside.
It is also pretty soothing and calming on sunburned skin that is starting to get itchy before it peels ... REALLY nice on the skin then.

The scent is uplifting and the soothing properties of the rosewater and of the glycerin make it a real treat. Hertage Rosewater is made from all natural essential oil and water, so it is pure and healthy. Free from preservatives and artificial fragrances it is an all natural super lightweight moisturizer and refresher.

I can't say enough about it, one of my all time favorites!

The description above says to use it on linens, but I disagree, if you want to use something on your linens get the plain flowerwater, NOT the flower water with vegetable glycerin added. The glycerin has the potential to possibly leave spots on fabrics, and I would hate to be turned off from such a great product because it was not properly used.

I recieved further questions on this product and I am posting them here for everyone to see!

Since this contains glycerine, is it a thicker version of the rosewater?
It is not noticably thicker. It is very very light.

Does it spray?
it sprays very well, I have never had it gunk up the sprayer like many spritzer type moisturizers.

Do you have to rub it into the skin, and does it absorb easily?
You can rub it in, but I never do. Usually I spray it on after toweling off--especially on my back and legs...because I do not have the ability to get to my own back or the time to moisturize my legs. And I simply spritz it on and let it air dry whilst combing and drying my hair or picking out clothes.

Is it at all greasy?
No. Not that I have ever experienced. Although, in the summertime I do not use it on my face, I use plain rosewater because I do not want the extra oils on my face with the sweat. But I have never ever found it to leave a greasy residue on my skin.

Review of Flower Water Rose w/Atomizer 8 FL Oz Heritage Products

Rosewater, and I do mean real Rosewater like the Heritage makes, is a wonderful treat. Both for the skin and for your kitchen. When I say real rosewater, I mean that the Heritage uses real rose essential oil, not a chemical fragrance. It is listed as food grade which means you can cook with it worry free!

If you are thinking to yourself..."What in the world? Why would I cook with it?"....I understand, I myself did not know how many different recipes use rosewater until fairly recently. But after finding out that my favorite Indian restaurant uses it in both their rice pudding and their delicious lassi drinks I was inspired to find out more. It is used around the world in everything from baking, to drinks, to ice cream, and even as a replacement for red wine and other alcohols in Muslim cooking.

I have started using it myself and have found that it lends a delicious, light, and very individual flavor to whatever I cook with it. But--and this is important too--it is not an overwhelming flavor / scent, it is a subtle flavor that is unmatched by other spices, and impossible to replicate with fake additives.

Now, for the body, this makes a wonderful after bath splash, or an addition to the bath, or as an addition to witch hazel for a fantastic facial toner. I think that the fact that it is made with pure and natural essential oil makes the difference. It is romantic and heady without being too strong and "perfumey." Oh! And I also like to get the spray version of this and use it on my linens and around the house as a light air freshener.
