Ever heard of making rose vinegar? It is such a powerful remedy for both your skin and cleaning! Learn how to make your own DIY rose vinegar with this simple recipe.

Rose vinegar is an all-natural solution that can be used for skincare and household cleaning. Infused with the delicate aroma and beneficial properties of rose petals, it offers a sustainable alternative instead of getting it from the store filled with chemicals.

I personally started making my own homemade rose vinegar after learning it makes for a great face toner, but then I learned it can be great for cleaning too, I was hooked!

Here is how to make your own DIY rose vinegar, along with all the ways you can use it in your home!

Benefits of Rose Vinegar

Here are just some of the benefits of rose vinegar:

For Skin

  • Soothes Irritation: The natural astringent properties of vinegar, combined with the anti-inflammatory benefits of rose petals, make it ideal for calming redness and irritation.
  • Balances pH Levels: Rose vinegar helps restore the skin’s natural pH, promoting a healthy complexion.
  • Hydrates and Tones: It gently hydrates while acting as a natural toner, leaving your skin feeling refreshed. This is how I use it; I just put in a spray bottle and spray on my face after my shower.

For Cleaning

  • Antibacterial Power: Vinegar’s natural acidity effectively kills bacteria, while the rose infusion leaves a pleasant scent.
  • Removes Stains and Odors: This combination works wonders as a multi-purpose cleaner, tackling tough stains and neutralizing odors.
  • Eco-Friendly: Ditch chemical-based cleaners and opt for this biodegradable alternative.

How to Make DIY Rose Vinegar

Now that you know some of the benefits, here is how to make your own:

Materials Needed

Instructions

Fill the large mason jar about half full with the dried rose petals.

Fill the entire mason jar with distilled vinegar.

You can put the top on the mason jar and let the vinegar sit for 2-4 weeks in the sunlight and this will help infuse the vinegar with the rose petals.

If you want to speed up the process, pour the vinegar/ rose petal mixture into a pot on the stove on low heat for about 20-30 minutes.

This will speed up the infusion process. Let it completely cool before adding back to a mason jar or to a glass spray bottle. 

Notes

  • Use organic rose petals and high-quality vinegar for the best results.
  • Apple cider vinegar adds an extra layer of nutrients, while white vinegar offers a more neutral base. I switch it up every time I make it for my facial toner.
  • Note the date you started the infusion to track the time.

    How to Use Rose Vinegar

    Here are some of my favorite ways to use my homemade rose vinegar:

    For Skin

    • Toner: Mix one part rose vinegar with two parts water. Apply with a cotton pad or spray bottle after cleansing. I leave a spray bottle in the shower and use it right after I get done.
    • Bath Soak: Add a cup of rose vinegar to your bath for a soothing soak that softens skin and relieves tension.

    For Cleaning

    • All-Purpose Cleaner: Mix equal parts rose vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Use it to clean surfaces, mirrors, and glass.
    • Laundry Rinse: Add ½ cup to your washing machine’s rinse cycle for fresh-smelling laundry. It works great!
    • Deodorizer: Use undiluted rose vinegar on stubborn odors in the kitchen or bathroom.
