Also known as the hundred-petaled rose, the highly fragrant centifolia rose is the source of a hydrosol recognised for its soothing properties. Rich in tannins, the centifolia rose hydrosol is attributed with a mildly astringent action, tightening dilated pores and thus contributing to refining the skin's texture.
