Hydro-distilled hydrosols—also known as floral waters or hydrolats—are aromatic, water-based solutions created when plant materials are boiled directly in water inside a still, rather than being suspended above steam. As the water boils, the rising steam and boiling water mix with the plant's water-soluble compounds and volatile molecules, which are then cooled, condensed, and collected. We locally source and forage fresh rosehip and yarrow, hand-picking the best ingredients to create this beautifully nourishing hydrolat. Made by the hydro distillation method, this gentle water is rich in antioxidants and effective at calming red, tightening the pores and refreshes the skin's barrier. We use medical grade distilled water and an eco/vegan friendly broad spectrum preservative in all of our facial hydrosols, which preserves the ingredients and is needed for these gentle waters. A rosehip and yarrow hydro-distilled facial mist has a scent that is earthy, herbaceous, and subtly sweet, offering a very different aroma than a traditional, heavily floral rosewater. Because it is hydro-distilled (meaning the steam captures the volatile water-soluble aromatic compounds), the scent is light, fresh, and close to nature. Directions for Use: Hold the bottle 6 to 8 inches from your face, close your eyes, and spritz 3 to 5 times evenly. Apply it to clean skin before serums or moisturisers, over makeup for a dewy refresh, or anytime your skin needs soothing. Storage: Keep at a stable room temperature (ideally below 20°C). Avoid windowsills, radiators. or storing in a steamy bathroom. Ideally, keep in the fridge for best preservation.
