Lavandula angustifolia - Floral Water

Lavender hydrosol is the aromatic water produced during the steam distillation of lavender flowers - a gentle, versatile floral water that carries water-soluble lavender compounds not present in the essential oil. It has a softer, more herbaceous character than lavender essential oil - fresh and calming without the intensity of the concentrated oil - making it suitable for direct skin application and for use in formulas designed for sensitive or reactive skin.

Lavender hydrosol is one of the most universally gentle and well-tolerated hydrosols available, sharing lavender's legendary calming and skin-soothing reputation in a form that is accessible to even the most sensitive skin types.

How It Works

Lavender hydrosol's linalool and linalyl acetate content - present in smaller concentrations than in the essential oil - provide gentle anti-inflammatory and calming properties without the potential for sensitization that can occur with undiluted essential oils. It is commonly used as a toner, setting mist, or water phase ingredient in formulas for reactive, stressed, or sensitive skin where its calming character supports a more comfortable, balanced complexion.
