Vegetable oils: more than just carriers

A quality hydrolat cannot be improvised. It has to be earned, drop by drop.
Sometimes all it takes is a few drops to feel that something is happening. A feeling of softness settling in. A fuller breath. A discreet but real refocusing. Cistus hydrosol, for example, has its own way of bringing people together. It’s as if it’s gently bringing order where things used to be scattered. But why is this effect so tangible with some hydrosols, and not with others? What is it that makes a hydrolat seem alive, stable and effective, and makes it stand the test of time without...

Preparing for summer
Summer brings with it its light, its promises of escape, rest and reunion… But also, sometimes, a few minor inconveniences: skin overheated by the sun, tired legs in the heat, curious mosquitoes, or simply the desire for a little freshness on the plate or in the air.
