Distilled from the flowering tops of the Helichrysum italicum plant, Helichrysum Hydrosol has a deep honeyed, herbal, earthy aroma. It is helpful for soothing skin irritations from outdoor pests, plants, and other threats or irritants. It also works well as a toner to help purify and balance the skin and supports the natural healing of scars, bruises, and swelling. Use this hydrosol as a cold compress to help soothe sore muscles after a good workout or strenuous day. Hydrosols are the aromatic remains following a plant’s steam distillation process. They consist entirely of cellular botanical water, which includes unique water-loving (hydrophilic) compounds that provide each hydrosol with distinct characteristics and benefits. While sharing many commonalities with their essential oil counterpart, their molecular makeup is unique enough that hydrosols often have very different aromatic profiles compared to the oil. Made from 100% naturally-derived ingredients, this product includes 98% organic Helichrysum hydrosol. To ensure the safety of this product and prevent microbial growth, 2% preservative is added (Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate & Water). You may see some flower in your hydrosol. Rest assured this is a completely natural byproduct of this hydrosol and nothing to be concerned about.
