What are hydrosols and what do I use them for?
Hydrosols are natural and aromatic plant waters that contain the valuable water-soluble ingredients of the respective plant. In contrast to essential oils, hydrosols are very mild and can be applied directly to the skin without having to be diluted. They contain a small proportion of essential oils, but also water-soluble ingredients such as flavonoids, minerals and vitamins.
Hydrolates are used in a variety of ways in aromatherapy, cosmetics and naturopathy. Here are some areas of application for hydrosols:
Skin care: hydrosols can be used as a refreshing facial toner. They moisturize and soothe the skin and can help with skin problems such as acne or skin irritation.
Hair care: Hydrosols can be used as a hair spray or conditioner to revitalize, nourish and improve the shine of the hair.
Body care: They can be used in baths or sprays to refresh the body, moisturize or provide a pleasant fragrance.
Aromatherapy: Hydrosols have a delicate fragrance and can be used to relax, aromatize rooms or as a natural substitute for synthetic room sprays.
Compresses: Hydrosols can be used as a base for moist compresses for skin irritations, burns or insect bites.
