Hydrosol, also known as water essential oil, refers to a 100% saturated distillate stock solution separated from essential oils during the distillation extraction process. It is a by-product of essential oils. The ingredients are natural and pure, and the fragrance is light and pleasant.
Hydrosol is a condensed aqueous solution obtained by distillation of aromatic plants. During the distillation extraction process, the oil and water will separate. Due to the different density, the essential oil will float on it, and the water will precipitate below. This water is called hydrosol. In addition to containing a small amount of essential oils, the hydrosol contains water-soluble substances in all plants. A hydrosol with 100% plant water-soluble substance, its mineral nutrients (such as tannic acid and flavonoids) are lacking in essential oils. Its low concentration is easily absorbed by the skin. It is completely fragrance-free and alcohol-free. It is mild and non-irritating. Hydrosol can be used as a daily substitute. It can also replace various masks such as pure water.
Efficacy
It has similar functions and effects as the plant essential oil itself, and is more convenient to use. It not only has various therapeutic and maintenance effects on the skin, but also has many uses in daily life. The hydrosol is taken from the essence of fractionation in the distillation process of essential oils, and the fresh or dried plant material is placed in a steam hot melting furnace, the water vapor is used to carry the volatile aromatic plant essential oil to form a water vapor state containing the essential oil, and is condensed into a liquid state by a temperature difference through a conduit of the freezer to separate the hydrosol. Hydrosol contains a variety of precious ingredients in plants, and contains about 0.3% to 0.5% of essential oils, so it still retains the aroma of essential oils, partial curative effect and mild antibacterial properties, and contains plant extracts that are not found in essential oils (such as tannic acid and flavonoids), so that hydrosol has the effect of conditioning the skin, its low concentration makes it more easily absorbed by the skin.

Little general knowledge about hydrosol
Taste: Hydrosol is a purely natural distillation product, without adding any preservatives, exudes the smell of plants, so the smell smells a bit “sour”.
