Hydrosol Sprays & Floral Waters
Gentle Aromatherapy for Skin, Space & Spirit
Hydrosols—also known as floral waters or hydrolats—are the aromatic waters produced during the steam or water distillation of plants to make essential oils. These botanical waters contain trace amounts of essential oil compounds along with water-soluble plant constituents, making them gentle yet effective for daily use.
🌸 What Makes Hydrosols Special?
Hydrosols offer a more delicate form of aromatherapy and skincare than essential oils. They can be applied directly to the skin without dilution, making them perfect for facial mists, body sprays, and natural cleansers.
✔️ Safe for most skin types
✔️ Gentle enough for children and pets
✔️ Mild botanical scent—never overpowering
⚠️ Note: If you have eczema, sensitive skin, or a known plant sensitivity, always perform a patch test before full application. Use caution with rosemary, eucalyptus, and peppermint hydrosols during pregnancy, if epileptic, or if you have high blood pressure.
💧 How to Use Hydrosols
Hydrosols are incredibly versatile. Here are just a few ways you can incorporate them into your natural wellness routine:
-
🌿 Facial & Body Mist: Use as a refreshing toner or cooling spray
-
🛁 Bath Additive: Pour a few tablespoons into bathwater for soothing skin care
-
🧴 Custom Skincare: Blend into base creams or lotions to personalize your formula
-
🌬️ Room & Linen Spray: Combine with 2–3% essential oils for a natural air freshener
-
🧽 Surface Cleanser: Add up to 5% antibacterial essential oils for a natural cleaning spray
-
🐾 Pet Calmer: Mist lightly to help relax anxious animals (avoid face and eyes)
💡 Tip: Since hydrosols are water-based and do not mix directly with essential oils, use a small amount of vegetable glycerin or solubilizer to properly emulsify your blend.
