When making steam distilled essential oils, the heavy oils fall to the bottom and the steam that rises to the top is called a hydrolat (or hydrosol or plant water). The hydrosols that we carry are these 100% pure steam by-product of the plant- no water added, no preservatives needed as these are 100% steam, no essential oil added.

Hydrolats/hydrosols do smell like the essential oil they are derived from, but they are not nearly as strong as an essential oil. This makes them ideal to use as a gentle spray all on their own, or you can blend them into your products to impart the plant benefits without overwhelming your finished product aroma.

Organic hydrolats/hydrosols are excellent to use as tonics, face sprays, body sprays, perfume bases, and as carriers for skincare products in place of using just water. When you use a hydrolat/hydrosol in place of the water in your formula, you calculate that as part of the organic percentage, and you get to list the plant benefits.

They will impart a vary faint smell to your products, but nothing like adding the essential oil. These cannot be used in place of essential oils or fragrances with the expectation that your products will smell the same.

Having said all that, hydrolats/hydrosols are the BEST way to get plant bio-actives into your products without having the strong smells of the essential oils.

Organic Rose hydrolat is extremely rich in the healing properties of roses. Roses are said to be one of the most healing, most gentle oils. You can use rose products in your formulas to help calm skin; to help hydrate; to help youthen. Try using rose hydrolat/hydrosol in a diaper crème for babies as rose is extremely gentle and nourishing. Try mixing a little rose hydrolat/hydrosol in with rose essential oil and Polysorbate 80 to create a refreshing room spray.

You can mix any of our organic botanical hydrosols with essential oils to make a room spray, also. There are two ways:

• Just use the hydrosol and some essential oils and advise your customers that they will need to shake it each time before use as the essential oils will separate out OR
• Blend your essential oils with Polysorbate 80 (1 to 1 ratio), then add into your organic plant hydrosols. The polysorbate 80 works as an emulsifier to keep the oils suspended and it is 100% plant based!

Due to the soft smell profile of hydrolats/hydrosols you can use just about any of these with other essential oils.

You can use organic hydrosols directly on the skin. These are not as strong as essential oils, so no dilution is needed.

If you use any of our organic hydrosols on their own, you do not have to add any preservative to them. If you add water (please use distilled water) to the base, you will have to add a preservative. You can use a blend of Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate; you can use Leucidal Liquid Complete; you can use Campo Plantservative Water Soluble. Anytime you add water to a product you will need to do a preservative.
