Why it’s in a formula
It gives a mist or serum a soft, fresh feel and a light rose scent.
- It carries the rose's scent, so we don't count pieces that contain it as fragrance-free. If fragrance bothers your skin, treat it as a fragrance.

Questions
Is rose water a fragrance?
It isn't listed as “fragrance”, but it is scented, and scented plant waters can bother reactive skin. We count it as a scent.
Is rose water good for skin?
It is gentle and refreshing for most people, and mostly adds feel and scent rather than doing heavy lifting.
