Refreshing peppermint - captured in a bottle!
Hydrosols, also known as floral waters, hydroflorates, flower waters or distillates are produced from steam-distilling plant materials. Hydrosols have similar properties to essential oils but are much less concentrated. Unlike their "essential oil added to water" counterparts, true steam-distilled hydrosols contain all the beneficial components that whole plant materials have to offer.
Hydrosols are usually a by-product of essential oil production, but the highest quality comes from devoted distillers who, with artist-like precision, steam small batches of fresh floral and plant material strictly to produce hydrosol (the hydrosols offered by Mountain Rose Herbs are produced in this fashion). Most of our hydrosols are distilled in copper stills, (a few in stainless steel stills) and processed through certified organic methods in Washington, California and Europe. Hydrosols contain all of the essence of the plant in every drop, just like essential oils but in a milder form; making them suitable for all manner of applications where essential oils would be too strong. In most hydrosols there is less than 5% actual oil.
Hydrosols can be used as hydrating facial spritz, sprayed on sore muscles and as anti-microbial cleansers. Clients that experience sensitivity to essential oils, are able to use hydrosols with positive results.
All Fruit Essences contain a varying percentage of naturally occurring alcohol, due to the fruit juice concentration process.
Fruit Essences can be sprayed directly on the skin and as a room deodorizer freshener. May be used as part or all of the water phase for nonionic or cationic creams and lotions, as well as in room and body sprays. External use only.
