Hydrosols, also known as flower waters or distillates, are made by slowly distilling leaves, fruit and flowers. They are less concentrated than essential oils and can be applied to the skin without dilution, making them suitable and safe for mothers-to-be, children, and pets. They will impart a soft, subtle aroma to your formula. Note: purified, distilled water is a neutral base and a great choice if you prefer to add an essential oil to your custom face cream. The other hydrosols listed here will impart a soft fragrance that may compete or clash with your essential oil selection, choose mindfully.
