What Is Rose Water Good For? 12 Benefits of Rose Water

Rose water vs. rose infusions

Among newcomers to herbalism, there remains an element of confusion between rose water and rose infusions. While they're made similarly and with similar ingredients, there are a few key differences. Namely, rose water is a long-lasting fragrant liquid that contains the essence of rose. Unlike infusions, it is steam-distilled and colorless. By contrast, infusions are made by boiling, simmering, and steeping roses in water in the same way you would make herbal tea or other herbal infusions. It lasts only a few days, and has a dark color and lighter aroma.
