Beware! I have been guilty of using and enjoying this product until I took the time to read the label that says they are Occult and they perform rituals on their products. I would not have chosen or used this product knowing this information. Great example of why reading is important.Their site also says:Our signature Vor-Mag™ water is vortexed and magnetized to promote higher vibrations and energy. We also use crystals in our formulas which are cleansed in the ocean under a full moon, and set with an intention for maximum spiritual effect.These details are not provided in the Amazon description. (Why?) This is important information for people who do not want to take part in Occult practices.

This is specifically for Heritage Rose Water. I decided to write a review here after coming across some unintentional inaccurate information regarding rose HYDROSOL. The review that pops up complaining about not being "real" rose water. It Is not rose hydrosol and never claims to be.I will first tell you how much I adore heritage ROSE WATER - purified water with Rose Essential oil added -no artificials- so although this is not literally from the distillation of roses, it is still wonderful.I appreciate that Heritage does not mislead by labeling with words like "distilled" , unlike SOME brands do. When some brands have the word distilled etc on the label, when in fact it is referring to the rose oil that was added to the water was distilled from "origin XYZ" roses. So many "rose water" products can be mistaken for literally hydrosols.Anyway, now to Heritage rosewater it'sself :I have purchased many bottles of it over a span of two years now. I first tried a bottle from an organic style store. I. Loved. It.It's the ony 'liquid' including water, that doesn't sting my face when I have a rash or irritation on my skin -sensitive skin. Sometimes plain water will sting, but when I sprayed this on instead and took note that it was so so gentle- it became a staple for me.I now just get a bottle from Amazon whenever I can/need more. I don't really label it as a "toner" , I call it a "refresher and moisture that cannot clog pores" type of spritz. I use micellar water as a toner quite often. I spritz rosewater on my face and or body when I feel heated , it's like a comfortable "splash of water " for me to help me wake up in the mornings. I literally will just use it any time i feel like it ... so although it is labeled as a toner, it totally can be for more sensitive skin, but keep in mind it's literally highly purified water and true rose oil - so why would it be able to grab up the leftover makeup dirt and grime ?I also spritz it before and after face masks. One thing I will mention about the moisture aspect - I also have acne prone skin so I literally have to utilize a moisturizing cleansing routine instead of applying actual oil or lotion or "moisturizer"... So when I spray this, It can add a bit of moisture but in no way something that would could clog a pore since it's aqueous with no random additives.Now, I also will say I have never tried rose HYDROSOL. I would LOVE to soon!! Rose HYDROSOL is the actual water left over where one has distilled the petals for making essential oil of rose. I think the hydrosols are not shelf stable. So I do like the ability to keep my rosewater in my purse or whereever I go.Heritage rose water is a wonderful floral water, has zero artificial flavor or fragrance, & is edible literally. It is also extremely gentle on irritations, even more so than tap water.. it is not going to clog your pores, and the majority of its uses are going to vary with each and every one.The aroma -which is from nothing more but the rose essential oil drops added to the purified water- is a nice rose scent that is the opposite of 'cloying' ... it does not linger, and i love the smell but it doesn't hang around for long so I don't specifically use for aroma only. The rose oil itself is believed to have many skin healing abilities and yes there is a noticeable difference with using this vs spray bottle full of water.

Up above I asked before buying: "Can this be used to make rosewater lemonade?" No one knew, apparently, but I took the plunge anyway-- and the answer is an emphatic "YES!". This rosewater is absolutely edible, and adding it to lemonade gives you a delightful Middle Eastern/Indian-style beverage (I think I first discovered this flavor at a "Persian" food stall or restaurant).You don't need to add much to your lemonade-- err on the side of caution, then slowly add more for a stronger taste. (Note: the rose-smell is a lot stronger in your drink than the actual TASTE once combined; you still don't have to use a lot of rosewater, but if you find it's too cloying for your palate, just add more lemonade.)Other wonderful uses: This stuff works AMAZINGLY as a face-mist/hydrating toner with a few other ingredients. In a two-ounce spray bottle, add about enough rosewater to cover the bottom up to about an inch. Then add distilled/spring water (not tap, eww) so it's not QUITE full (about half an inch+ space remaining). Then add: 4 drops of REAL (not synthetic!) lavender essential oil, and 3 drops (REAL!) clary sage essential oil. Shake vigorously, then spray it right on your (dry or mostly-dry) face after washing/exfoliating/using astringent. The smell is beautiful-- not at all over-strong, but so uplifting and refreshing. The scent dissipates pretty quickly, so don't use it as perfume-- but for someone who can't stand lingering fragrance, this is perfect (I'd even tell masculine-type folks to use it-- I promise, you won't smell like flowers for the rest of the day.). Using it after the tea tree oil astringent I've made, I'm noticing definite improvements in my skin/complexion.In short: Great buy, great quality. The bottle has some silly spiritualist stuff printed on the label ("Vor-mag water that has been vortexed and magnetized to raise its energy to a higher vibration!" "Recommended in the Edgar Cayce Readings!"), but if that's not what floats your boat, it still works perfectly well for mundane use. (If that IS what floats your boat, then, uh... Enjoy your higher-vibration magnet-rosewater, I guess?)

Does what it says,my second request from same company. I use mine on my hair as a softener,detangler and to help lock in moisture. Spray directly on hair and rub to scalp. Works for me. Less breakage, something about that rose water(real rose water). That is what I seek this company delivered.
