Lavender Hydrosol – L. angustifolia v. Pacific Blue

$8.00$110.00

Hydrosol from the Pacific Blue cultivar has an herbaceous peppery front note and a green freshness which pushes the piquant honey notes typical of most angustifolia cultivars into a secondary role as a sweet undertow and finish.  Lavender hydrosols are gently soothing, mildly antiseptic and relaxing. 

Hydrosols are the pure co-product, with essential oil, of distillation processes. Hydrosol has both minute residues of essential oil and of itself more of the soluble chemistry of the plant and therefore has its own chemistry and aroma with its own unique value of use. Lavender hydrosol is valuable as a personal misting spray, its acidic nature (< 4.5 pH) allowing it to work gently with the acid mantle of the hair and skin to freshen, relax, hydrate and tone. Hydrosol is also a beautiful inclusion in skin and hair care formulations, for handcrafted soaps and is also a natural deodorizer and cleanser.

CAUTIONS: Our hydrosols are 100% pure steam distilled products. We do not add any preservatives.  If kept well we have found our lavender hydrosol has a shelf life of well beyond 2 years from its distillation.  When a hydrosol is past its best a discoloration occurs, a microbial plume will usually appear, the smell will go off and acidity is reduced.  When these indicators are present it is best to discard the hydrosol.  If personal sensitivities arise cease use immediately.
