Hydrosols, also known as “flower waters,” are produced by distilling fresh leaves, fruits, flowers, and other plant materials. A hydrosol’s properties are similar to those of its essential oil, but they are more gentle. They can be used in creams, lotions, compresses, facial misters, body sprays and other recipes. Hydrosols are soothing and antiseptic- great for skin rashes, burns & after sun. Gentle enough to be used on children, pets, and the elderly, where essential oils may be too powerful. Do not take internally. We recommend keeping your hydrosols in the fridge to extend their shelf life as well as refresh you on a hot day.
