Lavender Hydrosol

What is Lavender Hydrosol?

Hydrosol—also called floral water—is the aromatic water created during the steam distillation of plants. It contains water-soluble plant compounds and a soft, natural scent. Hydrosols are gentle, water-based, and ready to use without dilution.

How is Hydrosol Made?

Steam is passed through the harvested lavender and carries the essential oil up into the condenser of the still. As it cools, the essential oil and hydrosol separate. Hydrosol is a mixture of distilled water and lavender essential oil that is safely diluted which can be used directly on the skin or for cleaning. It is all natural with a honey, botanical fragrance.

How do I store hydrosol?

Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Refrigeration is optional but can extend freshness.

Is it safe for daily use?

Yes, hydrosol is gentle and can be used daily as part of regular routines.

Can it be used on skin?

Yes, hydrosol is commonly used directly on skin as a mist or applied with a cotton pad.

How long does it last after opening?

For best quality, use within 12 months after opening. Keep the bottle tightly closed and avoid contamination.

Does your hydrosol contain preservatives?

No. Our hydrosol does not contain preservatives or additives. Hydrosols are pure distilled botanical waters—if preservatives or additives are introduced, it is no longer considered a true hydrosol.
