Hydrosols

Hydrosols are waters of flowers, herbs, and plants. Lotus water is a hydrosol (less concentrated) while blue lotus essential oil is strong. Similarly, there are many flowers and plant waters used for skin and hair care. Hydrosols are like essential oils, but they are not concentrated. The extraction of hydrosol is by distilling fruits, flowers, leaves, and plants. The properties of hydrosol are somewhat similar to essential oils. The only difference is they are made, from water-soluble parts. They are not oil-based. The watery property makes it a good supplement or therapy for acne-prone and oily skin. They retain the original fragrance of the raw material but on a lighter note.

Essential oil Company manufactures hydrosol at its unit by applying the steam distillation process.  The plants are put in a steam distillery for extraction. Hot steam is allowed to enter the steam distillery, which releases the extracts from the plants, flowers, fruits, or herbs.  The mixed steam with the botanicals goes to the distillery’s top.  The steam that rises and settles on the top after getting in contact with the cool air, forms into a liquid. This liquid is then collected through a tube.  The essential oil and the water i.e hydrosol are separately collected.  The oil floats on the tops of the extract where it is skimmed to make essential oil. The water that settles is collected as hydrosol
