^{Bulgarian Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) and why it's so important to buy only a genuine Rose Water?}

^{When you are looking for Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) there are several things you should look for.}

^{1) Check if the Rose Water you are about to purchase 100% Pure and Natural. If it's not clearly stated on the label that the Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) is 100% Pure and Natural, chances are that you are buying a cheap imitation without any therapeutic value. There are numerous companies that would like to make a quick buck and capitalize on the popularity of the Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) among health and beauty oriented customers. The problem is that a large amount of these so called Rose Waters are either based on artificial essences or are highly diluted and the content of Rose Water is 10% or less therefore losing all or most of its qualities.}

^{2) By buying only genuine 100% Natural Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) you will get the most of this precious commodity. Otherwise you are exposing yourself to the danger of buying a synthetic product with Rose essence which will not benefit you at all but will damage your skin with the time. The fact that you are buying your Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) from a well-established natural foods and cosmetics store does not mean that the Rose Water they are selling can't contain chemicals.}

^{3) On your next trip to the health store ask for a 100% Natural Rose Water and read the label carefully. If you see complicated words that do not make sense to you or the meaning is not explained, simply don't buy it.}

^{4) Another important moment when buying a Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) is to find out how the Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) has been produced. There are many ways for Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) production. For example, if you run to the nearest store and buy three dozen roses and put them in boiling water, will you call that Rose Water? The answer is: No and Yes. No because the Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) which you are going to make in this way will not have the therapeutic and healing properties of the genuine 100% Pure and Natural Bulgarian Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol). Yes because the liquid which you are going to make will consist of water and will smell at least a little like roses (in the best case scenario).}

^{So how then the 100% Natural Rose water is produced?}

 ^{There are a few ways for making genuine Rose Water. The best technique used for making 100% Natural Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) is called steam distillation. Fresh rose petals are picked and steam under pressure is used to extract the valuable ingredients. By using steam under pressure the extracted ingredients are preserved in their original form. In this way the therapeutic and healing properties of the essential Rose oil and the other precious ingredients are preserved and carried into the Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol). Another method for Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) production is water distillation. This method is slower and inferior. Basically, the roses are put in boiling water in a vacuum-sealed container. Then the roses are heated until a vapor is formed, then the vapor is cooled until it becomes a liquid. Here we have to mention that for producing a real genuine Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) only the Rose petals are used, NOT a by-product of ROSE OTTO production.}

^{The Rose petals should be picked in the early morning hours between and processed immediately (never stored for later processing). Why? Because during these hours the concentration and quality of the Essential Rose Oil and the other nutritious and healing ingredients is at its peak. As you can see it's not so easy to produce the best Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) with the most therapeutic and healing properties.

Here are the top three( ranked by quality and popularity) Rose species used for the production of the best Essential Rose Oil( Rose Otto) and Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol): Rosa Damascena( grown predominately in Bulgaria in the Valley of Roses) Rosa Centifolia( mainly grown in Morocco) Rosa Gallica( A native of Southern Europe) Now after you know how to choose the best Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) on the market let's talk about the Bulgarian 100% Pure and Natural Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol).
