Ingredients
Damask rose water
Damask rose water is the hydrolat captured when rose petals are steam-distilled — a by-product of rose oil production used in Moroccan kitchens and skincare for generations. Gentle and aromatic, it is now a staple toner, facial mist, and formulation base. We supply cosmetic and culinary grades, microbiologically verified and lot-traceable, in food-grade and aseptic packaging.

Sourcing approach
Sourcing approach
Damask rose water is sourced from our vetted producer network across Morocco’s primary ingredient regions. We visit suppliers in person, verify every certification against the issuing registry rather than the copy on the wall, and attach a lot traceability record to each shipment that links the source to the containers you receive.
Because it is a water-based distillate, microbiological verification through our Casablanca lab partner is part of how we release it, and the results are appended to the documentation pack. Specific producer identities are disclosed under engagement, never published.
Frequently asked
Common questions
What is the difference between rose water and rose hydrolat?
They are the same thing. Rose water is the hydrolat — the aromatic water that condenses when rose petals are steam-distilled for their essential oil. It is a true distillate, not water with added rose oil or fragrance, and that distinction shows up on the COA.
How do you prevent microbiological spoilage in rose water?
Rose water is water-based and therefore vulnerable to microbial growth. We screen each batch microbiologically through our Casablanca lab partner and ship in food-grade or aseptic packaging. Your formulation's preservative system and storage conditions then govern in-use stability.
What grades are available for cosmetic versus culinary use?
Cosmetic grade for toners, mists, and formulation bases, and culinary grade for food and beverage use. Both are steam-distilled hydrolat; the grade and its documentation are confirmed on the COA.
Which certifications are available?
ECOCERT, USDA Organic, and Halal, verified against the issuing registry before shipment. Certification copies travel with the documentation pack.
What is the typical minimum order quantity?
From a single 5 L food-grade can, with 25 L and 200 L drums for industrial buyers. The workable minimum for your grade and packaging is confirmed on the discovery call.
How is rose water shipped to keep it stable?
In food-grade cans, drums, or aseptic bag-in-box, palletised for sea, air, or express freight. Because it is water-based, packaging and transit are specified to protect it; lead times and Incoterms are confirmed per shipment.
