Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water is made by steam distillation of dried flowers coming from the bitter orange tree. As the essential oil is being extracted, the steam condenses into water which is collected and used in cosmetics. This water contains the same components as the essential oil but in a lesser concentration.
