Herbal Hydrosols

What are Hydrosols?

Hydrosols are made by steam distilling fragrant plant material. They have similar properties to essential oils but are much more gentle. Hydrosols are a similar ph to your own skin and contribute to a healthy micro-flora.

How do I use a Hydrosol?

• Use hydrosols as a gentle cleanser for your skin removing dirt and debris without stripping your skins acid mantle.

• Use as a skin toner.

• Use as a light summer moisturizer. 

• Use as a light after shave moisturizer.  

• Use as an after sun spray to moisten your skin.

• Use on hair to smooth flyaways.

• Use in place of beard oil

• Use as a cool down after a run.

• Lightly spritz your face as a reset after stressful situations.

• Use as a a spritz to improve focus.

• Add a small splash to sparkling water, regular water, or a cocktail for that matter.

• Use it like a perfume. I really like juniper hydrosol for this one. 

• Add to an epsom foot soak or a bath. 

• I often use to freshen sheets that have the: “I have been hanging out in the linen closet smell.”

• Help wrinkles fall out of clothes you don’t want to iron.

• Chamomile hydrosol can calm restless children. 

• Cleaning cutting boards—I would recommend tulsi hydrosol for this one.

• Hydrosol can be used as a mouthwash—tulsi is great for this one as well.
