NEEM HYDROSOL

Neem hydrosol is a gentle and refreshing water obtained through the steam distillation of neem leaves (Azadirachta indica). With a distinct earthy and slightly bitter aroma, neem hydrosol offers a multitude of therapeutic benefits.

Renowned for its natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties, neem hydrosol is a popular choice for skincare routines targeting acne-prone or problematic skin. Its gentle astringent qualities help to cleanse and purify the skin, while also soothing irritation and promoting a clearer complexion.

In addition to its skincare benefits, neem hydrosol is often used in natural insect repellents due to its strong insecticidal properties. It can be applied topically or used as a base for homemade bug sprays to deter mosquitoes and other pests.

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.
