Question

If I want to use Rose Water (Rosa Damascena) to replace some Pitera in the original formula to make the formula smell pleasant, what percentage of Rose Water should I use?

Answer

Regarding your question about using Rose Water to replace some Pitera for fragrance, the percentage of Rose Water you should use depends on the desired level of fragrance in your final product. Rose Water is primarily for scent and does not provide skin benefits, while Pitera offers skin nourishment. Replacing Pitera with Rose Water will reduce the skin-benefiting properties of the formula. Both ingredients can be used from 1% to 100% and can be used together. You can adjust the percentage of Rose Water based on how much fragrance you prefer.
