Hydrosol
What are Hydrosols?
Hydrosols are water-based products made from the distillation — by water or steam — of plant matter. The distilling process produces two end-products:
-
Essential oil: the oil-soluble parts of the plant
-
Hydrosol: the water-soluble parts of the plant (this liquid also contains microscopic drops of essential oil)
Many different types of plants can be made into hydrosols — not just flowers but also bark, roots, and other plant components like leaves.
Essential oils and hydrosols have some similar properties, but hydrosols have a much higher water content.
This means they’re gentler than essential oils and can be applied directly to your skin without needing to dilute them with a carrier oil. They also have a more subtle scent than their essential oil counterparts.
Use Of hydrosols
Hydrosols may be used in a variety of products, including: perfumes, skin toners, makeup, aromatherapy, alternative medicines.
What are the benefits of hydrosols?
Hydrosols are have some of the similer properties to the essential oils, and have much similer benefits of essential oils, so using hydrosol is much cost effective while using insted of coslty essential oils like rose oil or lavender oil etc.
