Hydrolat, also known as Hydrolat, is a 100% saturated distillation solution extracted from essential oil during distillation and extraction. It is a by-product of essential oil. The ingredients are natural and pure, and the fragrance is light and pleasant. Pure dew is a condensed water solution distilled from aromatherapy plants. During distillation, the oil and water separate, and depending on the density, the oil floats on top and the water settle on the bottom. These parts are called hydrops. In addition to a small number of essential oils, hydrosol contains all the water-soluble substances found in plants. A hydrosol containing 100 percent of the plant’s water-soluble substances contains mineral nutrients (such as tannins and flavonoids) that essential oils lack. Its low concentration is easy to be absorbed by the skin. It is completely free of essence and alcohol. It is mild and non-irritating.

Identification of truffles
- must see clearly above all, the pure dew that you buy is distill, still, essential oil adds water to dissolve and become, it is makeup water even basically.
- Look at the ingredient list. If hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ethanol and other categories, needless to say, this is the makeup water.
- Look at the bubbles. Shake it vigorously and then rest. The foam in the hydrosol usually disappears in about 1 minute. The foam is because of the emulsifier, the stabilizer, and it’s only when you add this water and oil that it doesn’t separate. But add the shake and the foam is fine, leaving more than half after three minutes. Be aware, though, that bubbles will soon disappear if there is alcohol.
Drop essential oils. Hydrosol is oil saturated, which means that the dissolved essential oil has reached its limit. Drop-in a drop of essential oil and shake it hard to see if it dissolves. True truffle can no longer dissolve the essential oil, no matter how you shake it, the essential oil will float on the surface. If it becomes an opaque suspension or emulsion after shaking, an emulsifier is indicated. Not true truffles.
Boil. True gold fears no fire. Since the truffle is condensed water, boil it again. After cooking, some of the essential oils in the truffle will evaporate, and the smell will be lighter. If it is made with essence or emulsifier, the color of flavor will change greatly after cooking.
