Natural Hydrosols

Guide: Using hydrosols, naturally

Hydrosols - also known as plant or floral waters - are produced during the steam distillation of plants and contain the water-soluble active ingredients as well as small amounts of essential oils. This makes them particularly mild and kind to the skin.

In natural cosmetics, hydrosols are often used as facial toners. They clarify the skin after cleansing, remove any remaining residue, and optimally prepare it for serums or creams. At the same time, they can refresh, soothe and moisturise the skin.

Depending on the plant, hydrosols have different skincare properties. Rose or orange blossom hydrosols, for example, have a calming and moisturising effect, while witch hazel or rosemary can have a more clarifying and balancing effect.

Thanks to their gentle formulation, hydrosols are suitable for many skin types, from dry and sensitive skin to blemished or mature skin.

Tips for using hydrosols

1. Use after cleansing

Hydrosols can be sprayed on like a toner directly after cleansing or applied with a cotton pad.

2. Use as a refreshing spray

A spray in between cleansing refreshes the skin and leaves it feeling revitalised.

3. Combine care

Hydrosols optimally prepare the skin for serum or face cream and improve the absorption of skincare products.
