VANILLA HYDROSOL
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.
