Guide to using hydrosols

Hydrolatherapy, Hydrolats, or Floral Waters

"Good things take time"

A hydrolat (or Floral Water, Distillation Water, Aromatic Water) is an aqueous substance obtained after steam distillation of a natural plant raw material. It appears at the end of the distillation, when the Essential Oil and Hydrolat are separated.

After decantation, Floral Waters are micro-filtered to obtain a translucent, slightly milky substance.

Naturally rich in active plant ingredients, they can be used without moderation and without contraindications!!
