Storage

Hydrosols are sensitive to pollution. As our Aroma-Zone hydrosols are fresh, pure products with no preservatives, we strongly recommend storing them in the refrigerator and using them within six months of opening. When using them, always ensure your hands are clean and that all utensils and bottles that come into contact with the hydrosols are disinfected when preparing your homemade cosmetics. If you notice any change in appearance or smell, stop using the hydrosol immediately.

Rockrose is a shrub typical of the garrigue landscapes around the Mediterranean. There are several species, with flower colours ranging from pink to white. Its distinctive five-petaled, crinkled flowers bloom between April and June. The medicinal properties of Gum Rockrose have been known since ancient times. In Morocco, particularly in the northeast, it is traditionally used as an anti-diarrhoeal, antacid, and antispasmodic. It is also used in the preparation of Bach Flower Remedies.
