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.
