Because we’re primarily a food store, you might forget that we’re also a great place to shop for plants and flowers, too. Truth is, our flowers and plants section is one of the most consistently exciting places in the store. We’re constantly updating, upgrading, and upsizing our selection of products – even if the idea is the same from one season to the next, the inherent seasonality of flowers and plants means that you’ll see a revolving selection. And, of course, our prices are almost always well below what you’d pay elsewhere for similar flowers and plants.

Equal parts hydrating and refreshing, Trader Joe's Rose Water Facial Toner is formulated with real Damask rose water and Damask rose oil (to bedew and moisturize), witch hazel (to balance and tone), and a bit of&nbsp;Quillaja saponaria&nbsp;(soapbark) extract (to soften and condition). Best of all, it smells exactly like a fresh, blooming rose—so you'll actually "smell the roses" while you're taking a moment to stop, relax, and... well, smell the roses. Mist Rose Water Facial Toner onto your beautiful face after cleansing, or as needed throughout the day for a quick refresher. Stash a bottle in your purse, gym bag, or desk drawer for on-the-go toning and/or at-work hydration. The formula is so mild and gentle that there is really no such thing as "too much Toner" here—so feel free to spritz this soothingly-scented spray anytime you need a moment of calm. And here’s a hot tip: for an extra-cool toning experience, store a bottle of Trader Joe’s Rose Water Facial toner in your fridge… and thank us later.

If you spend any amount of time in the kitchen, chances are you're spending some of that time applying oil to a cooking surface, be it a baking dish, cookie sheet, or skillet. That's where tools like our Organic Canola Oil Spray come in handy: they're an easy way to apply a quick, even layer of oil without having to do much fussing or finagling with measuring spoons, spatulas, or paper towels. Add to that the fact that it uses an air pressure-based, non-aerosol Bag-On-Valve spraying system rather than propellants, and you've got a seriously can-do can of Organic Canola Oil Spray on your hands.
