[Guest guest]

What are these hydrosols generally used for?

Hi Michael,

 

Hydrosols, being the water left over from the EO distillation process,

contain micro-fine particles of the EO's that were distilled, and unlike

the EO, they also contain the water soluble parts from the plant matter

- so in essence they are a more " whole " product ( to put it simply,

they're sort of like a super strength tea - but not exactly .

 

They can be used in place of the water ingredient for all sorts of

toiletries such as making lotions, diluting liquid soaps, body

spritzers, linen sprays, etc ...

 

Certain ones are also good for use as a wash or spray for skin issues,

where you don't want something as strong as the EO (which just might

further complicate the problem), but you want the benefits of the whole

plant and EO.

 

I also use several hydrosols in cooking such as rose, rosemary,

lavender, oregano, fennel, etc ...

 

I hope that helps some!

This helps some but I was actually looking for specific uses of the

50% off hydrosols (bay laurel, lavender, fennel, myrtle and yarrow).

I'm not a toiletry or soap maker and am trying to figure out other

possible applications. Sorry, my question was not well expressed.
