Zahra Rosewater

Zahra Rosewater is an Iranian producer of rosewater and botanical distillates whose history is closely connected to Damask rose cultivation in Lalehzar, Kerman Province. Founded by Homayoun Sanati and Shahindokht Sarlati, the business developed around growing and processing roses in the region. Its story also reflects the role of rose cultivation in the livelihoods of local farming communities.

The company’s activities connect rose cultivation and harvesting with distillation and processing. The highlands of Lalehzar are the principal growing region described by the company, with rosewater and rose essential oil at the centre of its offering. This connection between agricultural origin and production is a defining part of the brand’s identity.

Its range includes rosewater, concentrated rosewater and herbal distillates such as mint, musk willow, orange blossom, chicory, fumitory and dill. Dried Damask rose flowers and buds, along with aromatic plant oils, are also part of the company’s portfolio. For culinary use, rosewater adds fragrance and flavour to drinks, confectionery and desserts.

Alongside consumer products, Zahra Rosewater supplies botanical ingredients in bulk and exports rose-derived products. The company identifies customers across food manufacturing, natural ingredient trading, perfumery and personal care. Its activities therefore span agricultural production, botanical processing and supply to manufacturers of finished products.
