Hydrosols and Floral Waters are an Excellent Alternative for Those With Sensitivities
A hydrosol (a.k.a. distillate or floral water) is the pure water that remains after essential oils are steam distilled from the original plant material. They are usually clear and have the appearance and consistency of water. Their aroma is generally, but not always, similar to that of the essential oil, but the aroma is usually much more subtle. Hydrosols contain very small amounts of the essential oil.
Hydrosols are wonderful and inexpensive water-soluble fragrances that can be used to make linen sprays, face and hair mists, body splashes and other water based products. They can also be used as a deodorant, as an air freshener, in the spa, as a base in your body care recipes, and most may be used in culinary creations.
Hydrosols are moisturizing, fragrant, cooling and contain similar properties as essential oils but in much less concentration, which makes them a lovely alternative for those with sensitivities.
