LEMONGRASS HYDROSOL

Lemongrass hydrosol captures the invigorating essence of fresh lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) through the process of steam distillation. This aromatic water carries the bright, citrusy scent of lemongrass, known for its uplifting and energizing properties.

With its crisp and refreshing aroma, lemongrass hydrosol serves as a natural mood enhancer, helping to uplift the spirits and promote mental clarity. It can be diffused in living spaces or added to personal care products to infuse a burst of revitalizing fragrance.

In skincare, lemongrass hydrosol offers astringent and toning properties, making it beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for facial use, helping to balance sebum production and refine the appearance of pores.

what are hydrosols?

Hydrosols, also known as floral waters or plant waters, are aromatic waters produced by steam distillation or hydro-distillation of plant materials such as flowers, leaves, stems, and other plant parts. They are created during the process of extracting essential oils from plants.

When plant material is subjected to steam distillation, the steam passes through the plant material, causing the essential oils to evaporate along with the steam. As the steam cools and condenses, it separates into two components: the essential oil, which floats on top, and the aromatic water, or hydrosol, which remains underneath.

Hydrosols contain trace amounts of essential oils as well as water-soluble plant compounds, giving them a mild aroma and therapeutic properties similar to those of the essential oils they are derived from.
