Cornflower is often used for eye care. Cornflower hydrosol is particularly effective for soothing irritated eyes and reducing under-eye puffiness. Its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent choice for treating conjunctivitis, by applying soaked compresses to the eyes.
Cornflower is also often used for skin and facial care. It acts as a gentle toner, ideal for sensitive skin or skin prone to inflammation. Cornflower hydrosol can also be used as a make-up remover.
In addition, Cornflower Hydrosol is useful in cases of sunburn, helping to soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. It is also effective against acne and pimples, thanks to its astringent and soothing properties, regulating sebum production and bringing relief to acne-prone skin.
When you choose Essenciagua Cornflower Hydrosol, you’re opting for a natural, handcrafted product that combines tradition and innovation to offer your skin the very best of nature

The Plant Cornflower
Plant part: Flowering Summit
Origin: France
To guarantee the quality of our Cornflower Hydrolat, we have chosen to distill the fresh plant ourselves.
Originally from the Middle East, the cornflower is a typical messicolous plant (hence its name “Harvest cornflower”) that has spread to all temperate regions of the world as cereal crops have progressed. This plant, which grows up to 50 cm high in rich, 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 the “eye-catcher”, alluding to its beneficial effect on eyesight. It’s true that cornflowers are wonderful for restoring vitality to tired eyes.
Tip: to aid digestion, add a few pinches of fresh cornflower to your salads!

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.

When my eyes are tired or 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 most of the way in the rain and in the dark. I can’t see very well at night (perhaps because I’m used to well-lit roads in Belgium), which means I have to push. This was not lacking, as I arrived with lemur eyes, swollen and reddened. My eyes are quite fragile. The same thing happens to me if I drive without sunglasses in fine weather or if I spend too much time in...
