Rosewater is generally considered safe for most people, but some side effects may occur.
- Burning, stinging, redness, or irritation may occur, especially if you have sensitive skin. If any of these effects last or worsen, consult your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
- Allergic reactions are possible, although rare. Symptoms may include skin rash, itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing. If you experience any allergic reaction, stop using rosewater immediately and seek medical attention.
- Drinking a large amount of rosewater may cause stomach discomfort or diarrhea, especially if it's not food-grade or contains additives.
It's always advisable to test a small amount of rosewater on a small area of your skin before applying it to your entire face or body. If you have any concerns about using rosewater, talk to your doctor or a dermatologist.
