Little-known uses for hydrosols 🌸💧
🌼 Hydrolats are the aqueous extracts resulting from the distillation process of aromatic plants. The distillate passes from the coil to the Florentine vase, where it separates by density into a hydrolat - also known as floral water - and an essential oil, which is often lighter. Rich in the plant’s water-soluble aromatic compounds, such as sweet alcohols, hydrolats have numerous uses and virtues for health and well-being.
