In the world of skincare and botanical wellness, few ingredients hold the timeless appeal of rose water. But not all rose waters are created equal. At Akita Rosewater, we’ve dedicated our craft to producing what we believe is the most potent, pure, and naturally therapeutic version available: non de-oiled rose water. Below, we explore what sets this rare formulation apart—from its intricate production process to its unrivaled aroma and potency. 1. What Is Non De-Oiled Rose Water? Non de-oiled rose water is a single-distillation, full-spectrum extract of Rosa damascena petals that retains its natural rose oil within the water. Unlike traditional methods where rose oil is separated out during distillation for separate commercial use, this type of rose water preserves all the beneficial aromatic compounds, vitamins, and essential oils directly in the bottle. This approach is not just about purity—it’s about preserving the complete botanical fingerprint of the rose. 2. A Rare and Precise Production Method Creating non de-oiled rose water requires deep botanical expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitmen...

It was the spring of 2013 when we attended a natural product expo at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre. The energy was fresh, the crowd was curious, and I was so excited to introduce something special from the heart of Turkey — Akita Rosewater. One woman approached our booth with interest but also a bit of hesitation. “What is this rosewater really like?” she asked. I smiled, gently picked up the bottle, and said: “Would you like to try it?” She held out her face and I sprayed our pure rosewater onto her skin — eyes wide open. Surprised, she asked, “It’s safe for the eyes?” I nodded. “Yes, it’s that natural. You can even taste it if you'd like.” 😊 She smiled, dabbed her face gently, and after a moment of calm silence, said: “I’ll take one… and three more for my sisters.” That moment happened over 10 years ago — and it was the beginning of a beautiful customer story 🌹 💌 A Decade of Trust and Natural Beauty Since that day, this lovely customer and her three sisters have been using Akita Rosewater regularly. For the first few years, they ordered dire...

Choosing a gift has never been more difficult. Most of us can easily access the things we need, and many gifts are quickly forgotten. But some gifts are more than just physical items—they carry meaning. Rose water is one of those gifts. Even before I became a rose water producer, I believed this. But now, I understand the true value of each drop more deeply than ever. The Meaning Behind Rose Water Giving rose water is not just about offering something that smells nice. It’s a way of saying to someone you care about: “You are special. I wish you a beautiful life.” To me, one of the most meaningful messages behind gifting rose water is the wish for a beautiful life. Imagine living your entire life in a rose garden... Picking fresh roses each morning... Walking among them, breathing in their scent... It’s not just a dream—it’s a heartfelt wish: “May your life be like a rose garden.” A Wish for a Rose Garden Sometimes I want to say to my loved ones: “I wanted to give you a rose garden. A place where every corner holds beauty and every breath brings peace.” As soon as rose scent f...

In recent years, the search for natural ways to support healthy aging has gained momentum in both science and wellness communities. Among the many plants studied, Rosa damascena, known as the Damask rose, stands out for its potential antioxidant effects. Traditionally used in herbal medicine and now backed by growing scientific interest, this fragrant flower may help reduce the impact of aging and age-related diseases. In this article, we explore how Rosa damascena works as a natural antioxidant, the science behind its benefits, and how it might help slow down aging. We also highlight findings from Prof. Dr. Erdem Yeşilada’s book İyileştiren Bitkiler (Healing Plants) to understand how this plant is being recognized in modern research. Understanding Aging and Oxidative Stress Aging is a natural process influenced by both our genes and environment. Over time, our bodies experience damage at the cellular level, which can lead to health problems such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis. One major cause of this damage is oxidative stress—when harmful molecules called free radicals (also known as reactive oxygen species or ROS) build up and harm our cell...

There’s something incredibly special about crafting rose water the traditional way. When we began our journey, we discovered a crucial detail often overlooked: most rose waters on the market come from roses that have already had their precious oils extracted. This process removes the heart and soul—the true essence—of the rose. This prompted us to ask ourselves: What if we did things differently? What if we created authentic rose water from fresh roses that retained all their natural oils and minerals? And so, our rose water journey began. Why We Chose the Traditional Path For us, creating rose water quickly became more than just a business—it transformed into a deeply meaningful and joyful experience. Imagine waking before sunrise during the peak rose season, walking through gardens bursting with blooming Damask roses, and gently handpicking each flower. It’s a practice that fills our hearts and connects us deeply with nature. Being in the garden, surrounded by the calming fragrance of fresh roses, then carefully carrying them to our distillation room and lighting the copper still—these steps form a beautiful ritual. When we place the ros...
