Lemon myrtle hydrosol is a natural product obtained through the steam distillation of lemon myrtle leaves and twigs. It is essentially the aromatic water that remains after the essential oil has been extracted from the plant material.
This hydrosol carries the delicate, refreshing aroma of lemon myrtle, reminiscent of fresh citrus with subtle herbal undertones. It is prized for its gentle yet uplifting scent, making it a popular choice for aromatherapy and natural skincare formulations.
Lemon myrtle hydrosol is often used as a facial toner or refreshing mist due to its astringent and cleansing properties. It can help to tighten pores, balance oily skin, and provide a refreshing sensation when sprayed onto the face. Additionally, it can be incorporated into homemade skincare products such as facial cleansers, masks, and body sprays.
In aromatherapy, lemon myrtle hydrosol is valued for its uplifting and energising properties. It can be used as a room spray to freshen the air and create a stimulating atmosphere, particularly during times when mental clarity and focus are desired.
Overall, lemon myrtle hydrosol is a versatile and aromatic product that offers a natural way to enjoy the benefits of lemon myrtle in skincare and aromatherapy routines.
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 are 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, inflammation-reducing carboxylic acids are found almost exclusively in hydrosols.
