Scientific data on the shelf life of de-oiled rose water produced during rose oil production—and the difference of Akita Unde-oiled Rose Distillate Rose water is often considered a natural product that can remain stable for many years. However, scientific research shows that not all rose waters have the same composition, production method, or storage stability. To understand the shelf life of a rose water product, we should first ask an important question: Is it the aromatic water remaining after rose oil has been separated, or was the rose distillate produced as the primary product without removing its naturally occurring rose oil? This distinction matters because the production method may influence the product’s chemical composition and behavior during storage. How Is Rose Water Produced During Rose Oil Production? When Rosa damascena flowers are distilled with water and steam, volatile compounds from the flowers travel with the steam. After cooling, the vapor condenses back into a liquid. The resulting distillate may contain two phases: An aqueous phase A volatile rose oil phase In traditional rose oil production, the primary objective is to obtain rose oil....
