Today, many 'flower waters' are made from synthetic compounds that smell quite pretty but posses absolutely no healing properties! In fact, quite the opposite - they can cause skin irritation.

Another common way to produce “Floral water” is by adding essential oils or absolutes to water by using alcohol or some other type of dispersant or solvent. This may appear to be perfectly acceptable, since the finished product contains essential oil and has a pleasant fragrance similar to natural floral water. However, this type of reconstituted product lacks the wealth of vital healing properties present in true floral water.

Remember, many of the plant constituents were dissolved into the water whilst extracting the oil, so they were never present in the essential oil in the first place! Therefore adding an essential oil to water will never create a product with the same range of healing benefits as true floral water. There is simply no substitute for a true floral water, so don't let anybody try and fool you.

Some highly recommended uses of floral water

• Use Floral water to mix your powdered scrubs and mask instead of tap water that may contain potentially hazardous chemicals
