To ensure the quality of our Cornflower Hydrosol, we have chosen to distill the fresh plant ourselves.
Originating from the Middle East, the Cornflower is a typically segetal plant (hence its name “Cornflower of the Harvest”) that has spread to all temperate regions of the world following the progression of cereal crops. This plant, which can grow up to 50 cm tall on rich and light soils, is gradually disappearing, destroyed by herbicides… The cornflower is also a melliferous plant that brings a touch of color to our gardens.
Among its many nicknames, the Cornflower is known as “glasses-breaker”, a reference to its beneficial effect on vision. It is true that Cornflower flowers work wonders to restore vitality to tired eyes.

When my eyes are tired, irritated

My Testimony

When I drive at night, my eyes quickly get tired. I remember our last trip to Paris, for a trade show. I drove a large part of the journey in the rain and in the dark. I don’t see well at night (perhaps because I was used to lit roads in Belgium), which forces me to strain. As expected, I arrived with lemur-like eyes, swollen and reddened.
