With its herbaceous, slightly woody fragrance, rosemary hydrosol embodies the revitalizing essence of this beloved culinary and medicinal herb.

This hydrosol carries the crisp, herbaceous scent of rosemary, making it a versatile addition to aromatherapy practices. Its uplifting aroma can help stimulate mental clarity, focus, and memory, making it an excellent choice for enhancing productivity or concentration during study or work sessions.

In skincare, rosemary hydrosol is renowned for its clarifying and toning properties, making it suitable for oily or congested skin types. It can be used as a facial mist or incorporated into facial cleansers and toners to help balance sebum production, tighten pores, and promote a more radiant complexion.

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.
