Comparison: DIY Rose Water (Essential Oil + Solubilizer) vs. Rose Water

Based on the information provided:

Using Rose Essential Oil + Flora Solve + water can create a liquid that physically resembles Rose Water. However, there are chemical differences. This mixture might not be compatible with certain ingredients, such as Zinc PCA, which could cause precipitation in the formula.

Regarding scent, it is subjective, and both Rose Essential Oil and Flora Solve mixed with water, and Rose Water can provide a rose fragrance.

Regarding skin properties, there is currently no clear scientific research confirming specific benefits for either Rose Essential Oil or Rose Water. Therefore, based on scientific evidence, they are primarily used for their fragrance to enhance the appeal of a formulation. This doesn't necessarily mean they have no benefits, but rather that claims lack independent research confirmation at this time.

In summary, while the mixture can mimic the appearance and scent of Rose Water, there are chemical differences that might affect compatibility with other ingredients, and the skin benefits of both are not clearly established by scientific research.
