Homemade Rose Water Toner

Homemade rose water toner is super easy to make! Be careful of those store-bought rose water toners, they may contain synthetic fragrances or fake ingredients. How about some real rose?!?

Made with real roses and real rose essential oil, this facial toner is a real treat. What a great handmade gift idea or simply a homemade product you want to make for yourself.

Homemade Rose Water Toner
What you need:

• 1/4 cup witch hazel
• 1/4 cup rose water (see below for recipe)
• 5 drops rose essential oil – Rose essential oil is expensive but amazing. You can substitute for another floral oil like lavender instead if you want. It takes thousands of roses to make a bottle of rose oil, so makes sense right?

For the rose water toner:

• 2 cups organic rose petals or rose buds
• 3 cups distilled water

Directions:

1. To make the rose water, bring the water and rose petals to a boil.
2. Reduce to simmer for 45 minutes.
3. Once cooled, strain the rose water using a cheese cloth or coffee filter.
4. Combine with the witch hazel and essential oil and store it a glass spray bottle or container. Products with essential oils do best in a glass.
