Hydrosols, also known as hydrolats or floral waters, are produced
through the same process as essential oils.
The distinction between the two products is in the chemical composition of the end product.
Hydrosols are predominately made up of hydrophilic compounds
of the plant, with a minute number of essential oil compounds.
Floral Waters are water mixed with essential oils and preservatives.
Both can be used as a substitute for water in creams and lotions, in room or linen sprays, or as single-ingredient perfumes, facial toners, and mood enhancers.
