Description

Geranium hydrosol is a floral water produced through the steam distillation of geranium leaves and flowers, primarily sourced from Pelargonium graveolens or other Pelargonium species. It’s a byproduct of extracting geranium essential oil.

This hydrosol embodies a mild, diluted version of the properties found in geranium essential oil, featuring a delicate floral scent and containing some of the beneficial characteristics of the plant. Geranium hydrosol is utilized for various purposes:

1. Skincare: It is esteemed for its balancing qualities, making it suitable for different skin types. Geranium hydrosol is often applied as a facial toner to help regulate oily skin, foster a clear complexion, and soothe skin irritations or redness.
2. Aromatherapy: Though less concentrated compared to the essential oil, geranium hydrosol maintains a pleasant floral fragrance that’s considered calming and uplifting. It can be used in aromatherapy to create a refreshing atmosphere or in personal care products for its aroma.
3. Haircare: Some individuals use geranium hydrosol as a hair mist or rinse to encourage healthy hair and scalp, as well as to infuse a subtle floral scent.
