What is Hydrosol
Hydrosols are gentle aromatic waters produced during the steam distillation of plants. They contain the water-soluble compounds of the plant along with a very small amount of essential oil, making them softer and safer to use directly on the skin compared to essential oils.
Hydrosols are naturally refreshing and hydrating, suitable as facial mists, body sprays, or even room and linen sprays. You may also hear them called hydrolats or floral waters—all three terms refer to the same product, though “hydrosol” is the most commonly used in aromatherapy.
