About

A gently astringent botanical water from roselle flowers, rich in anthocyanins and organic acids that give it antioxidant and skin-toning properties.

Hibiscus Sabdariffa (Roselle) flower water is produced via steam distillation of the flowers. It contains anthocyanins (hibiscin), citric and malic acid, and mucilage polysaccharides. The anthocyanins act as free-radical scavengers, providing antioxidant protection. The organic acids contribute mild exfoliating and astringent effects. CosIng listed with no EU restrictions.
