Hi Georgia,

A hydrolat is the same as hydrosol--they are natural by products

of hydro/steam distillation. Sometimes they are called floral

waters, but I think sometimes floral waters can have added

frangrances to them.

Now i have a question, I bought a lot of floral waters, and their 16 oz each,

and haven't used them, but how do I use them in a recipe? If something called

for 21 ounces of distilled water would I use 21 ounces of hydrosol? That would

be expensive. Marti

Marti,

You could change out any part of the water for the hydrosol. For example, if

I have a lotion formula that is 75% water phase, I can use distilled water

AND hydrosol AND aloe vera AND herbal teas/tinctures in any combo to make

the 75%.

 

You are correct, using all hydrosol for the water would end up being

expensive.
