In the beauty industry, there is a growing focus on ingredients that come straight from nature, have a positive effect on our skin and hair, and don’t harm the environment. One such gem that is gaining increasing recognition is hydrosol, also known as floral water. Find out why it’s causing such a sensation.
What is a hydrosol?
Hydrolate is otherwise known as plant or flower water. It is created during the production of essential oils and has similar uses to them, only much milder. This means that it is great for sensitive skin care. However, its uses do not end there. In fact, it’s hard to find a skin condition that won’t benefit from the use of plant water.
Hydrosols instead of water—how does this affect the product’s price?
Using hydrosol instead of plain water certainly raises the price of the product, but it also significantly boosts its effectiveness. As a result, a single product will provide such comprehensive benefits that you’ll save space on your bathroom shelves. This isn’t just a more economical solution—it also aligns with the principles of skinimalism, since you’ll generate far less waste. Your skin will also thank you for choosing products rich in natural active ingredients. Your pores, unclogged by chemicals and an excessive amount of cosmetics, will have no trouble cleansing, and you won’t need products to mask skin issues.
What are the benefits of using hydrosol as a substitute for water in natural cosmetics?
Moisturizing hydrosols help maintain proper skin hydration, but that’s just the beginning of what they can do. Their specific properties depend on the plant they’re derived from, but they generally have restorative, toning, or soothing effects. They’re also rich in vitamins and easily absorbed nutrients.
This hydrosol can be used at every stage of your skincare routine—from makeup removal to nourishing masks, serums, and sunscreen. In addition to facial care, it’s also widely used for body moisturizing and natural hair care.
Among the greatest benefits of hydrosols are their optimal pH and their ability to stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative processes. As a result, their beneficial effects continue even after you’ve washed the product off.
Hydrosol – how to use it?
The power of hydrosols lies in their synergy with other valuable nutrients, which is why the best way to use them is as a base for skincare products. The reason they work so well as a base for cosmetics is their ability to deliver active ingredients. This means they enhance the effects of the other ingredients used in your face cream or mask. Studies have confirmed the increased effectiveness of products based on moisturizing hydrosols compared to those using plain water.
Which hydrosols are the most effective?
Rose and aloe vera hydrosols work best as a base for natural cosmetics. Both have deeply moisturizing and nourishing properties. Additionally, aloe vera hydrosol is excellent for problem skin, soothing irritation, reducing redness, and promoting regeneration. Rose hydrosol, on the other hand, is the foundation of skincare products for mature skin, as it restores its elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and evens out skin tone.
What’s more, hydrosols can be freely combined. Some of our products contain as many as three different plant waters, providing your skin with a carefully formulated vitamin-rich blend.
