Ancestral, Hydro-Distilled Facial Mist

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.

Birch+Nettle, Hydro-Distilled Facial Mist

         

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. Our Birch+Nettle, Hydro-Distilled Facial Mist is created in the Autumn, with ethically foraged silver birch bark and twigs (we only take what has fallen-never from a living tree), and stinging nettle, and, we locally source them close to our home. Made by the hydro distillation method, this gentle water is rich in antioxidants and effective at calming red and irritated skin, while also supporting a clear, balanced complexion. 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 silver birch bark and stinging nettle hydro-distilled mist smells deeply green, earthy, and woody. It evokes a damp forest floor, crushed chlorophyll, and fresh sap, balanced by a clean, woody-sweet brightness from the birch bark and a mineral, vibrant, leafy green note from the nettle.

This Facial Hydrosol's Amazing Skin Benefits!: - Silver birch (Betula pendula) bark extract contains active compounds like betulin, lupeol, and salicylic acid that speed up wound healing, reduce inflammation, repair the skin barrier, and soothe irritated or dry skin conditions. Key Skin Benefits: Wound Healing: Betulin triggers short-term, healthy acute inflammation to clear debris, then helps new skin cells close wounds faster. Barrier Repair: Upregulates key skin proteins to lock in moisture and lower water loss. Anti-Inflammatory: Calms redness and swelling linked to sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis. Gentle Exfoliation: Contains natural salicylic acid to clear pores and help acne-prone skin.
