Hydrosols
Hydrosols are the water left after the plants are distilled into essential oils. When the essential oil is separated from the water, that water is the hydrosol. These are not highly concentrated liquids, and are thuslysafe to use directly on the skin. Hydrosols are great way to experience the benefits of a plant and the benefit of hydration at the same time. Hydrosols are most often sold in convenient spray bottles.
Popular hydrosols include:
Peppermint
Lavender
Basil
