How Lavender Hydrosol is Made?

Lavender hydrosol is made from the water gathered from the steam distillation process of lavender essential oil. Steam and water are moved through the plant matter which captures the steam and oil. The essential oil is then separated, leaving a lovely lavender flower water which is the pure lavender hydrosol containing all of the properties of the plant. Material from the entire lavender plant is used during the distillation process. This results in the lavender hydrosol having an earthy, grassy aroma. The fresh and milder than essential oil scent of the hydrosol makes it a wonderful spray that can be used for many benefits to the body and mind. It’s even safe on children and pets!
