VETIVER HYDROSOL

Vetiver hydrosol captures the essence of the vetiver plant (Vetiveria zizanioides) in a refreshing and earthy water. This aromatic water is obtained through the steam distillation of vetiver roots, resulting in a gentle and grounding hydrosol with a distinctively rich, smoky, and earthy aroma.

Renowned for its calming and balancing properties, vetiver hydrosol offers a sense of tranquility and stability. Its deep, woody scent has a grounding effect on the mind, making it an ideal choice for meditation, relaxation, and stress relief. Simply misting the air or adding vetiver hydrosol to a diffuser can create a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

In skincare, vetiver hydrosol is prized for its toning and rejuvenating effects. It can help balance oily skin, minimize the appearance of pores, and promote a clear and radiant complexion. Its natural astringent properties make it a valuable addition to facial toners and cleansers, providing a refreshing and revitalizing experience.

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.
