As a facial refresher, Rose Geranium Hydrosol brings the effusiveness of a floral bouquet to brighten grey days. It may be used as a makeup remover, a topical wash, a toner, to cool overheated skin, and to moisten skin before application of facial oils. Rose Geranium hydrosol feels cooling and tingly when applied to the skin but is easily tolerated by those with sensitive skin, including children and the elderly. Appealing to both men and women, it makes a terrific aftershave and is a magnificent addition, either on its own or with other hydrosols, to every kind of aesthetic product and preparation for face and body.[2]

Our hydrosols are distilled using fresh plant material that not only allows capture of all the volatiles, but most importantly, the cellular water from the living plant. It is this cellular water, imbued with nourishing minerals and fatty acids, that make it dynamic and vibrant compared to using dried out material with a resulting loss of those important skin-refreshing and aromatic molecules.[3] Aromatic hydrosols contain the water-soluble active principles of the plant. They retain a tiny amount of essential oil compounds (about 0.2 grams/liter[4]) – mostly the gentler, more hydrophilic aromatic esters and alcohols – and are subsequently unlikely to cause skin irritation.[5]

The gentleness of hydrosols is ideally suited in the delivery of their attributes for children, the elderly, and those with pronounced sensitivities. They are also a profound and delightful way to experience and appreciate the life force – with all its potentiality for wholeness – found in the aromatic waters of the plants.

PLEASE NOTE: The hydrosols we offer are specifically distilled for the hydrosol, not as a co-product or even a by-product. The plant's cellular water and many components – normally lost under pressurized short steam runs for essential oil, or by using dried material – are what the producers specifically distill for by using only fresh plant material right from their farm or from local farms to ensure that the plant material is as fresh as possible.[6]
