I use it in a sprtz bottle and spray it around in my car and everywhaere. It can be used in place of water in any mixture. Do you want some lavender hydrosol?

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hi Alex here is some info from my files. It is originally from Moose Creek. I use hydrosols (rose, lavender, or chamomile) in ALL high end my lotions and creams. Hydrosols and distillates are purified flower or herb waters that occur during the extraction of essential oils from plants, thus a by-product of aromatic distillation. Hydrosols have the same uses as their essential oils and are commonly used alone or in skin and hair care formulas. Compared to many of the bottled " floral water " sprays and misters which are made by adding essential oils to water using alcohol or chemicals to mix them, hydrosols are considerably superior, safer and better for blending. Hydrosols are also teriffic when used as wetting agents in clay facials. An anti-bacterial preservative should be used to preserve your products that contain hydrosols.
