Today, the Berkem range is composed of 16 floral waters: in addition to those already on offer (Damascus rose, orange blossom, cornflower, witch hazel, jasmine, lavender, grapefruit, grape, green tea, lemon balm, lemon and Roman chamomile), it is expanding with bamboo, peppermint, linden and everlast waters.
