Freshly distilled in small batches in Aotearoa New Zealand, our spray-free lavender hydrosol offers several benefits for skincare and DIY skincare products.
It is gentle and soothing, suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It acts as a refreshing and hydrating facial mist, especially useful in hot weather or for a midday refresh.
Its balancing properties are said to help regulate the skin's natural oil production, making it beneficial for both dry and oily skin. As a mild astringent, it can help to tighten pores and tone the skin, contributing to a smoother appearance.
Lavender hydrosol is versatile, fitting into various DIY skincare products like toners, mists, lotions, creams, and masks, with its light, floral scent enhancing homemade formulations. It has a natural cooling effect, soothing minor skin irritations, and pairs well with other natural ingredients.
Easy to use, it can be spritzed directly onto skin or serve as part, or all, of the water phase in skincare & haircare formulas.
About Hydrosols Hydrosols are the pure co-product of the steam distillation of plant material. When plants are steam distilled to produce essential oils, some valuable compounds of the plant, that are not found in the essential oil, become dissolved in the distillation water.This condensed fragrant steam is known as hydrosols or aromatic waters. It contains some drops of the essential oil as well as water soluble plant properties which is non-irritating for sensitive skin. The micro drops of essential oil provide the scent. The plant components give the hydrosols their herbal therapy properties. Hydrosols are gentle yet powerful therapeutic agents in their own right
Hydrosols can be used in skin care products, replacing some or all of the water portion. Also used as room sprays, to freshen linen, etc.
Hydrosols can be used as a toner for all skin types as it is impregnated with water-soluble (hydrophilic) compounds that are not present in essential oils. Soothing, calming carboxylic acids are found almost exclusively in hydrosols.
