Description

Neroli hydrosol, derived from the steam distillation of bitter orange blossoms (Citrus aurantium var. amara), is a gentle floral water that captures the aromatic and therapeutic properties of the neroli flowers. It’s produced as a byproduct during the extraction of neroli essential oil.

This hydrosol contains a milder and more diluted version of the properties found in neroli essential oil, carrying a delicate, sweet, and floral fragrance along with some of the beneficial characteristics of the blossoms. Neroli hydrosol has several potential uses:

1. Skincare: It’s highly valued for its soothing and skin-balancing properties, making it suitable for various skin types. Neroli hydrosol can be used as a facial toner to help hydrate, calm, and rejuvenate the skin, promoting a radiant complexion.
2. Aromatherapy: Though less concentrated than the essential oil, neroli hydrosol retains a gentle and uplifting floral aroma known for its calming and stress-relieving effects. It can be used in aromatherapy to create a tranquil environment or as a refreshing mist.
3. Haircare: Some individuals use neroli hydrosol in hair care routines as a hair mist to add a delightful floral scent and potentially support scalp health.
