What is a hydrosol? A hydrosol, also known as "flower water" or "herbal distillate," is a natural aromatic water produced during the steam distillation of plants, flowers, or herbs to extract essential oils. As the steam condenses, it separates into two parts: the essential oil and the hydrosol. The hydrosol contains the water-soluble compounds of the plant, along with trace amounts of essential oil, giving it a milder scent and gentler properties.
Why hydrosol? They often have soothing, hydrating, or toning benefits, depending on the plant used. Unlike essential oils, they are much gentler and can often be applied directly to the skin without dilution. Would you like to explore how to use them in your daily routine?
