Water distilled rose hydrosol for anti-aging

short description:

Hydrosols Vs. Essential Oils

Although essential oils are believed to be water-insoluble, they do have a maximum solubility in water. This means, once a certain amount is dissolved in the hydrosol, the oil will start separating out. This is how essential oils are collected during distillation. However, these separated oils will have different chemical properties than the dissovled ones — since some of the chemicals found in the essential oil are too oil-loving to stay in water while others are too water-loving to stay in the oil and are found only in the hydrosol.

Why Not Just Use Essential Oils?

Essential oils are highly potent extracts and include a narrower range of plant chemicals than a hydrosol. Many of these chemicals are only needed in incredibly small amounts to work effectively. When used regularly, these chemicals can build up in the body and amount to the intake of what ends up being a huge amount of plant materials, which often much more than your body actually needs.

If this much plant material is taken in, especially in people whose immune system is depressed, the body will reject much of it and potentially even shut down due to the immune system being overwhelmed and overstimulated.

Babies are another example of this. They don’t need dozens of pounds of lavender or chamomile to go to sleep or ease teething, so the oils are far too strong for them. Babies react better to lower doses. Even when using a hydrosol, you can dilute a teaspoon in a cup of water, and then dilute a teaspoon of the watered-down solution in another cup of water and still have an incredibly effective application.

Hydrosols offer safer, milder doses of these plants in a much easier to absorb form. Since they are water solutions, they don’t irritate the skin’s lipid barrier like oils can and they are easier to apply and absorb. They’re also much more sustainably made than essential oils, requiring far less plant materials per bottle.

Using Hydrosols Alongside Herbal-infused Oils

Plants have a variety of beneficial constituents that are soluble in a wide range of mediums, depending largely on their polarity and the pH of the solvent. Some constituents extract well in oil, while others are more water or alcohol-soluble.

Each method of extraction will draw out different concentrations and types of constituents. Therefore, using both an oil extract and a water extract of the same plant will give you a broader spectrum of the plant’s benefits and give you different benefits for your skin and overall health. So, pairing a hydrosol facial toner with our infused oil cleanser or tallow moisturizer gives you a great representation of plant constituents to nourish your skin.

    Hydrosols are water-based solutions of the water-soluble plant constituents, including traces of essential oils, that are formed by the steam-distillation of plant materials in water. However, hydrosols are NOT just essential oils and water. Hydrosols contain additional substances from the plant material not found in the essential oil that you might find in a tea or decoction of the herb. However, there is much more plant material represented in a cup of hydrosol (even if diluted) than you’d find in a cup of tea, which only uses a small amount of plant material.

    They also generally smell quite different than the essential oil, some can have completely different scents because of their complex chemistry. It’s part of the process of learning to explore and love these wonderful plant extracts.
