French Lavender Hydrosol

Hydrosols, often known as floral waters, are byproducts of the ancient art of distilling essential oils. The process involves steaming aromatic plant materials—like fragrant flowers and fresh herbs—to extract their essence. As the steam rises and then cools during distillation, it condenses into a liquid that captures both trace essential oils and water-soluble compounds, resulting in these gentle yet aromatic waters. In aromatherapy, hydrosols are treasured for their mild therapeutic properties, making them ideal for everything from soothing the skin to uplifting the spirit. Unlike essential oils, which can be potent and require dilution, hydrosols offer a milder alternative, allowing for broader applications and accessibility in wellness practices. Their historical use underscores a deep connection to nature and a profound understanding of the beneficial properties of plants.

Cleansing: This cleansing spray can be used as a natural surface cleaner around the home either on its own or as the base in a spray.

Therapeutic Alchemy: Hydrosol contains therapeutically important water-soluble elements from the flowers being distilled, plus trace amounts of their essential oil. Carefully separated early in the distillation for the highest grade, our hydrosols have a full botanical and therapeutic profile.
