But.. what IS Hydrosol?

When we extract the essential oils from our plants by steam distillation, some of the aromatic and healing principles within the plant are not captured during the process. These important components are absorbed by the steam which eventually condenses back into water, containing small quantities of essential oil plus many of the water-soluble constituents of the plant. Now, supercharged with more active principles than the essential oil, this ready-to-use product “Hydrosol”, offers a safe, aromatic, and convenient way to deliver a wide range of therapeutic benefits.

Because our Hydrosol is distilled from Lavender, this floral water takes on even more rewarding properties! As you may know, Lavender is a natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and healing astringent! Therefore, the Hydrosol is not only a safe, convenient way to clean up but also very valuable for this reason!
