Most of us have all heard of essential oils but you may not have heard of Hydrosols.  Essential oils are worth the attention, but these are equally important. So just what are these wonder waters.

The word Hydrosol is Latin and translates to ‘water (hydro) solution (sol). True hydrosols are the co-product of the distillation of essential oils. During the distillation process, the steam passes through the plant material, carrying with it the essential oils and other beneficial components of the plant.

The steam is then condensed, and the resulting liquid is separated into two parts. The essential oil with is the lipophilic or oil loving parts; and the hydrosol which is hydrophilic or water loving parts. The essential oil floats on top of the water, while the hydrosol is the water that remains after the oil has been removed. Like essential oils, the hydrosol contains the essence of the plant in every drop.

• Flavonoids - anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and antivirals
• Tannins - neutralize free radicals and stimulate the immune system
• Trace Minerals - including magnesium and potassium
• Fatty Acids -support cellular regeneration and structure
• Vitamins - Including carotenoids vitamin C & E, essential to skin health

Wow all of that and so much more in something that appears as simple as water.  Move over floral water, there are no substitutes for hydrosols

Depending on your needs and the type of Hydrosol you use, these waters can be healing, soothing, hydrating, and rejuvenating.  Hydrosols can plump your skin, heal scars and rashes, combat acne, help to promote cell regeneration, fight free radicals, fade hyperpigmentation and so much more.
