Organic Cucumber Hydrosol is a product of the water-steam distillation of the fresh fruits of Cucumis sativus. These crisp fruits are 97% water, which makes them ideal plants for hydrosol distillation. Cucumber Hydrosol possesses the unmistakable aroma of freshly cut cucumbers: light, yet refreshing, cooling and rejuvenating.
Cucumber Hydrosol Floral Water
Hydrosols are specifically distilled for the hydrosol, not produced as a by-product or even a co-product.
These hydrosols are distilled using fresh plant material allowing us to capture not just all the volatile components of the plant, but more importantly, the cellular water from the living plant.
This cellular water is usually lost under the conventional high pressurised steam runs for essential oils, or by using dried plant material.
It is this cellular water, imbued with nutritious minerals, phytosterols, antioxidants, and countless other natural botanical chemicals, that imparts the hydrosol with the water-soluble aromatic and therapeutic properties of the plant.
