2 oz / 60 ml
This hydrosol is truly a springtime delight. We’ve sourced locally grown lilacs that we picked up this morning at the Farmers Market. The sweet scent of lilacs wafted through the air, guiding me to the vendor selling them. I am thrilled about this hydrosol; capturing the essence of lilac is quite a challenge, but I genuinely believe we have succeeded.
Lilac flower essence, derived from both hydrosol and essential oil, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can significantly benefit skin health. These oils work to combat harmful free radicals, alleviate inflammation, and encourage skin healing. For centuries, lilac has been utilized as a medicinal remedy for various skin conditions, including acne and eczema.
This is one and done product. We don't know if we'll ever find lilac this fragrant again. When it's gone, it's gone for good.
HYDROSOL is the natural water that is collected when plants are distilled to extract their essential oils. Some of the chemicals released from the plants are non-water soluble and repel water - giving us the layer of oil which is known as 'essential oil'.
The water-soluble chemicals dissolve into the layer of water and this is what is known as the hydrolat or hydrosol.
During the distillation process, the steam that is forced through the plant material rises through the condenser and turns back into a liquid.
This process causes the oils to be extracted from the plant material and since oil and water don't mix, the steam, which turns back into water, will naturally separate from the oil.
And that’s how we are able to collect the “essential oil” from the plant.
What remains is a true hydrosol.
