What Is Hydrosol

Hydrosols are 100% natural plant distillates, extracted directly through steam distillation. They contain water-soluble components of the entire plant, essential oil molecules, and high-solubility extracts—all dissolved in the distillation water—making this “water” much more than ordinary water. Hydrosols represent the purest quality, retaining the natural aroma and flavor of the plant. They are gentle yet highly effective and can be used undiluted. While you can use hydrosols like water, they are quite different, offering astringent and antioxidant properties that soothe and restore.

Hydrosols contain some characteristics of essential oils, so regardless of which type you choose, they contain natural components similar to essential oils, providing many of the same benefits. They also work synergistically with essential oils—sharing the plant’s vitality—making them perfect for aromatherapy. Their water-soluble nature makes them easy to apply and absorb, just like vitamins, minerals, and herbs used daily.

Hydrosol for Skincare, Aromatherapy and Usage Tips



Hydrosols can be sprayed directly onto irritated skin, including eczema, dermatitis, sunburn, wounds, psoriasis, and other infections. The natural acids help balance skin pH, accelerating soothing and repair. Some hydrosols have antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties, such as chamomile, yarrow, lemon balm, and rosehip hydrosols. They can also boost circulation or help cool the body.

Spray hydrosol onto your dehydrated face and neck morning and evening, allowing it to air dry naturally. Regular use keeps skin moist, soft, and elastic, gradually reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Hydrosols can also be added to your beauty or hair care products to enhance their effectiveness and achieve better results.**
