Flower Waters (Hydrosols) Flower waters also known as hydrosols, hydroflorates or distillates are products from the direct steam distillation of whole plant materials. Unlike their "essential oil added to water" counterparts, true steam distilled hydrosols contain all the beneficial components that whole plant materials have to offer, and are more true to their scent. They are wonderful and inexpensive as a facial splash, as a deodorant, an air freshener, in the spa, for skin application, during massage, as a base in your body care recipes, and most may be used in culinary creations. They are moisturizing, fragrant, cooling and contain similar properties as essential oils but in much less concentration, which makes them a lovely alternative to those with sensitivities. We have now expanded our entire line of hydrosols, which have all been distilled in improved stainless steel cookers and processed through certified organic methods. We are excited to offer you these exceptional quality flower waters which are quality control supervised from cultivation to distillation by Mountain Rose Herbs. Each of our hydrosols is packaged attractively in a 4 oz amber bottle with a black mister. The bulk 8 and 16 ounce and 1 gallon waters are packaged in HDPE plastic bottles.
