What is a Floral Water?

Floral Waters can also be known as hydrolats (milky water), hydrosol (water solution) distillate water, aromatic water or flower water. True floral waters contain a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Floral Waters do not always smell like their essential oil counterpart, this is due to the difference in their chemical make-up. They are produced by water or steam distillation of the flower or herb, and not by the addition of essential oils or synthetics to water with alcohol. They contain the therapeutic properties of the plants from which they were made, because they contain many of the water-soluble active principles that did not distil into the essential oil, making them ideal for general skincare. These highly versatile Floral Waters can be used as facial and hair spritzers, air fresheners around the home and in the car, added to the bath and even sprayed on your clothes as a fragrance. Hydrosols are quite safe to use on young children, and since they only contain a small amount of essential oil they do not need diluting much further except as above when using with very young babies. Used in the final rinse after shampooing floral waters help to condition hair and add a shine, for this purpose you can add a splash of cyder vinegar aswell. Around the house, hydrosols are great to freshen the air instead of using aerosols which of course are harmful to the environment. They can be added to the final rinse water in your washing cycle and used as a fragrant linen spray whilst ironing since they smell much nicer than their synthetic counterparts. I keep some in a spray bottle when traveling to refesh myself. They make a wonderful facial toner and will help to spread your moisturiser more evenly and use less aswell as making it absorb better. They are even used as a culinary ingredient in many world cuisines.
