Organic and Pure Rose Water: From Akita’s Organic Rose Gardens to Your Skin What makes rose water truly organic and pure? “Organic rose water” and “pure rose water” are often used as if they mean the same thing. In fact, they describe two different qualities. Organic refers mainly to how the roses are grown and how the agricultural process is managed. Pure refers to what is inside the finished bottle. A rose water may be produced from organically grown roses but still contain added fragrance, preservatives or other ingredients. Conversely, a product may contain only rose distillate without holding an organic certification. This is why Canadian consumers should look beyond the words printed on the front of the bottle. The rose species, growing conditions, production method, ingredient list and supporting documents all matter. Akita Non-De-Oiled Rose Water brings these elements together: Rosa damascena flowers grown in Akita’s organic rose gardens are distilled without separating the naturally occurring rose oil from the water.

Akita’s Non-De-Oiled Rose Water, produced from Rosa damascena flowers, has been made using a distinctive approach since 2003. Rather than producing rose water as a secondary water fraction after separating the essential oil, Akita’s process is designed to retain the distillate without separating the volatile oil fraction. The INCI name associated with this ingredient is: Rosa Damascena Flower Distillate INCI Application No.: 2025-14613 But what exactly does “Flower Distillate” mean? And why is the distinction between conventional rose water and a non-de-oiled rose distillate important? To understand the difference, we need to look beyond the familiar name “rose water” and into the science of distillation. First, What Does INCI Mean? INCI s...
