Aromatic Liquids
“Aromatic liquid water, often referred to as hydrosol, floral water, or distilled water, is a by-product of the distillation process used to extract essential oils from plants. While essential oils are the concentrated, aromatic oils derived from plant materials, hydrosols (also called “aromatic waters”) contain much lower concentrations of these plant-based compounds and are often used for their gentler, milder therapeutic and cosmetic properties.“
Benefits of Using Aromatic Liquid Waters
- Milder and Safer: Because hydrosols are less concentrated than essential oils, they are often safer and more suitable for people with sensitive skin or those who cannot tolerate the strong potency of essential oils.
- Versatile: Hydrosols can be used in many different ways—on the skin, in hair care, for relaxation, and even in cooking.
- Hydrating: Many hydrosols have moisturizing properties that can be beneficial for dry or sensitive skin.
