Neroli Orange Blossom 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.

My hydrosols are very versatile and can be used in many ways:

Can be used directly on the skin without further dilution 
Can be used in place of water in creating natural fragrances, lotions, creams, facial toners and other skin care products .

Facial Cleanser: Moisten with a cotton pad and swipe across the skin of the face to cleanse.

Facial Spray: Close the eyes and lightly mist your face as a daily refresher. Store hydrosol in the refrigerator for extra-cooling skin relief.

Facial Mask: Mix the hydrosol with clay and apply to cleansed skin. Rinse after 10-15 minutes.

Bath Additive: Simply add to your bath water.

Hair Care: Spray onto cleansed hair and gently massage the hair and scalp. Do not rinse.

Deodorant & Perfume Spray: Mist under arms and as needed elsewhere to help prevent body odor.

Foot Spray: Mist the tops and bottoms of feet to help control foot odor and to refresh your feet.

Aroma Massage: Spray the hydrosol on oily skin before starting the massage.

Calming Spray: Mist your room, body and face using hydrosols that are reported to help reduce stress and anxiety.

Aromatic Substitute for Water in Personal Care Recipes: Enhance your lotion, cream, room mist and other recipes that call for water with skin-safe hydrosols.

Blends well with

Orange Blossom Floral Water blends exceptionally well with Lavender and Rose.

Its hydrolate is obtained by steam distillation of dried flowers. It has a strong antioxidant activity and fights free radicals. When applied to the skin, it helps to restore radiance to the complexion and illuminate the skin. It revitalizes dehydrated and dry hair, moisturizes hair fibers and brings shine.

• The terpenes it contains (linalool, limonene...) have anti-inflammatory properties. Orange blossom hydrosol is therefore recommended for soothing irritated scalps prone to itching and/or redness.

• Rich in vitamin C and polyphenols, antioxidant compounds, this floral water protects the hair from external aggressions (pollution, sun, cigarettes...) which generate an overproduction of free radicals. This phenomenon called oxidative stress is a factor linked to the deterioration of hair fibers, the appearance of white hair or hair loss. Orange blossom hydrolate and the molecules it contains neutralize free radicals to prevent them from harming your hair and keep it looking beautiful for as long as possible.

• In addition, its fruity and intoxicating scent helps to soothe the nerve system and helps you fall asleep. Thus, spraying orange blossom hydrosol on your hair before bedtime can be a wise ritual.
