About Hydrosols

CHAMOMILE, Roman Anthemis Nobilis - Certified organic, France	An essential hydrosol, I have used this more than any other during the last year. I'm just amazed at its quality and properties. Anti-inflammatory, skin calming and somewhat astringent. Fantastic for most skin types, relaxing and calming for skin disorders including eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, burns, rash. Very, very nice and calming for babies and an excellent tush spritz during diaper changes. Use as an internal eyewash for conjunctivitis, dry, tired, irritated or red eyes. Use in a compress with a drop of lavender for migraines Mix with Neroli hydrosol for acne and oily skin Mix with Witch Hazel or Rose hydrosol for mature skin Mix with Lavender or Geranium hydrosol for dry skin Use for pets in the car, for trauma, stress, thunder phobia, vet visits, teething puppies, First Aid kit. Very stable shelf life, refrigerated 3 years +, though I can't conceive of it not being used up before then!	2 oz. ~ $12.00 4 oz. ~ $23.00
HELICHRYSUM Helichrysum italicum - Certified Organic, Corsica	This hydrosol is wonderfully gentle for sensitive and mature skin, and an amazing toner for rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema as well. Some like the scent, some don't. Those that don't, mix it with another hydrosol. The properties of this hydrosol make it one of the most desirable. The essential oil of Helichrysum is quite expensive but essential for bruises. The hydrosol is also effective when used in a compress on bruises or on achy areas, and more affordable. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, use after surgery for wounds and tissue damage, reduces swelling and bruising. Use as a mouthwash for receding gums. It's often hard to keep this hydrosol in stock, we generally run out of it off-season. It has a very stable shelf life and should keep in the fridge for 2 years or more so you may want to have extra on hand.	2 oz. ~ $12.00 4 oz. ~ $23.00
LAVENDER Lavendula angustifolia - USA, Organic	Don't expect Lavender hydrosol to smell exactly like lavender essential oil; the hydrosol is a deeper, stronger scent than the oil. Lavender hydrosol is gentle and balances pH, which makes it ideal as a toner for every skin type on a regular basis and a perfect addition to all face masks. Highly recommended for fragile or damaged skin and soothing for a sunburn. Make a compress for headaches, stress. Relaxing and revitalizing, lavender hydrosol reduces mental fatigue, it's also nice for calming babies and for diaper maintenance. Skin types: Oily, dry and mature. Combines well with other hydrosols Myrtle and Lavender hydrosols make wonderful soothing eye compresses. Chill the hydrosol, soak cotton pads, cover eyes, sit back with your feet up, and relax.

MELISSA Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) USA, Organic	Melissa essential oil is very, very expensive. Luckily, we have the hydrosol. The hydrosol smells nice, lemony like the herb itself (lemon balm).

ROSE Rosa damascena	BEST SELLER! Ah! True Rose Hydrosol is the best smelling hydrosol, just like a rose garden! Definitely not like the many imitation rose waters that are being produced today.

And there are no binders or chemicals in the interlocking fibers of this pure material, no potential irritants to sensitive skin. Excellent for acne and rosacea skin types too.

Easy to gently tear each of the squares into fourths (bag of 100), they're quite large and last a long time when used this way. Or just use them as is, and turn them over and inside out as they're used. You'll absolutely love them, I promise!
