Benefits of Floral Hydrosols
Hydrosols are the condensed water solutions resulting from the steam distillation process of fresh flowers. Unlike essential oils, which are concentrated oils resulting from the distillation process, hydrosols are the watery byproducts of the distillation process. Pure, natural floral hydrosols are free of any additives such as alcohol, perfumes, and preservatives, making them safe for skin use.
Hydrosols also contain a small amount of organic acids, flavonoids, polysaccharides, and other compounds, as well as trace amounts of essential oil constituents, which contribute to their various skincare benefits. Their aromas are derived from the pure, natural fragrances of the botanicals used, unlike the synthetic scents of commercial fragrances.
