What is Hydrosol?

Picture
Hydrosol is created during the steam distillation process used to extract essential oils. As the water below the plant chamber boils, steam is created and makes its way through the plant material, grabbing the oil of the plant, and carrying it through a condenser where the steam is cooled and condenses back into water and now, oil.  The oil flows out of the condenser with the water and separates in the vertical column that collects it.  This water by-product is hydrosol and contains “microscopic droplets of essential oils.” In other words, during the distillation process, the lavender buds infuse the hydrosol with the same therapeutic properties found in the oil, but in a milder, diluted form. Hydrosols have a scent similar to their essential oil, but are softer and more subtle.  Our lavender hydrosol comes from several different lavender varieties that we grow organically and distill at the farm. And it's 100% pure hydrosol -- nothing added.
