Hydrosols, also known as floral waters, hydroflorates, flower waters, essential water, herbal water or distillates. Hydrosols are the aromatic water remaining after an essential oil is distilled by steam. They contain micro-molecules of essential oils. They have similar properties to their essential oil counterparts but are much less concentrated. They are an excellent complement to essential oils because they are gentle enough to be used directly on the skin and can be used on children and pets.

Diffuser Blend for Emotional Healing
Add equal portions of helichrysum hydrosol and rose hydrosol to a cold air diffuser. Allow it to diffuse for at least 15 minutes every day to dispel feelings of sadness and mental traumas.
Scar Formulation

Add all the ingredients into a high speed blender and blend till smooth and creamy. Transfer to a glass jar.
