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.
