Description

In antiquity, Myrtle was regarded as a plant as noble as Laurel or Olive. It is one of the most typical shrubs of the Corsican maquis, where it has long been used for its digestive benefits. For example, wild boar daube is flavored with a sprig of myrtle. Its wood, supple and strong, is used in traditional basketry.

The young branches are distilled. The regrowth is fairly rapid, allowing the process to be repeated every year. When myrtle is distilled, the water from the first half hour of distillation is kept, as this is when the plant's active principles are most concentrated.

Corsican women call this floral water "Angel Water" and have championed it for generations to give the skin radiance. Myrtle hydrosol can soothe tired eyes in young and old, puffy eyelids, or dry eyes. It is suitable for all skin types for daily facial care.

Soothing, it promotes relaxation: it can be sprayed on the pillow before bedtime. In winter, it clears the airways and gently improves respiratory comfort.

Wild harvesting: Myrtle, endemic to Corsica, is harvested from natural sites on the island, which are selected, declared, and verified each year. It is therefore certified Certisud, as are the essential oil and floral water obtained.
Distillers for over 30 years, our approach is in line with sustainable management of plants and the environment. Our harvesting method respects the "Charter for the harvesting of Corsican aromatic plants".

Precautions for use

Hydrosols are gentler than essential oils. They have no intrinsic contraindications.

However, this does not mean that you cannot react to the active ingredients they contain (if in doubt, perform an elbow crease test).

Storage: Please note that floral waters are fresh products. Their shelf life is therefore shorter than that of essential oils (approximately 1 year). To maximize their lifespan, store your hydrosols in a cool place, away from air, heat, and light.

Essential oils are powerful and complex substances that must be handled with care! If you are new to aromatherapy, please consult our advice page and seek guidance from a professional (specialist pharmacist or therapist) who is the only one qualified to provide personalized advice – these guidelines are not a substitute for a consultation.
