Description

Our Lavender hydrosol  is steamed distilled in small batches using specialized equipment to preserve its efficacy. Because it is steamed in small batches, this practically guarantees that it is super fresh.

Lavender hydrosol waters can be used in lotions, creams, bath preparations or straight on the skin. They provide mild tonic and skin cleansing properties and are generally safe for all skin types

Lavender Hydrosol  is an excellent addition to skin care products and is used to aid in the treatment of acne, eczema and psoriasis as well as exerting a balancing action on sebum and promoting new cell growth.

Hydrosols are cherished for their therapeutic properties to the skin and body,  and as such may have a lighter scent than floral waters. If your looking for a scent that matches essential oil then check out our floral waters.  Floral waters are designed to add a scent to formulations, whereas hydrosol waters are designed more for their benefits to the skin,  their natural scent is an added benefit.

Lavender is derived from the Latin lavare “to wash” and was used by the Greeks and Romans as a favorite bathwater additive. The soothing and antiseptic qualities of lavender makes it popular in all skin care.

Lavender hydrosol is gentle, balancing for all skin types, gently tones oily, dry and mature skin, cleanses gently and safely. Lavender has always been recommended for fragile or damaged skin.  Its remarkable calming properties makes it an excellent addition to room sprays, lotions, facial toners, or simply pour some into a spray bottle and use directly on your skin. It is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial and can be used as a soothing wetting agent for natural baby wipes. It can also be blended with our chamomile hydrosols for a synergistic anti-inflammatory and calming blend. Lavender Hydrosol provides emotional balance. It is both invigorating yet calming. It is an ideal hydrosol for inclusion in formulations for anxiety, irritability and stress.

When applied to the skin, in either skin care products or directly sprayed onto the face, its benefits are passed to the  skin, Hydrosols make great soothing and refreshing facial sprays!
