Hydrosols, the 411:

A Hydrosol or Floral Water is essentially the by-product of steam distillation of plant materials like flower or leaves in the creation of Essential Oils. A Hydrosol is the left-over water from that process. It is steam distilled water that is infused with microscopic particles of the essential oil is in suspension throughout the water giving it a light and bright scent of the Essential Oil that was produced. Although it is considered a by-product of sorts, Hydrosols are no less important in both beauty and aromatherapy applications. Some individuals (like myself) produce their own hydrosols with the essential oils that are collected as an added bonus. Hydrosols are anti-inflammatory as well as gently antiseptic and anti-bacterial, they freshen and tone the skin naturally, help calm acne prone skin while adding a gentle and natural scent. Also used within light perfumes or room sprays, like our spa mist, they add a light natural scent, with gentle anti-bacterial benefits.


I create my own Hydrosols, as well as infused waters and oils. All are natural and organic, most from the plants I grow in my own garden! (I do not use artificial fertilizers or pesticides)
