Description

Rosemary hydrosol is a botanical water obtained through the steam distillation of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaves and sometimes the flowers. It’s a byproduct of the process used to extract rosemary essential oil.

This hydrosol embodies a lighter and more diluted version of the properties found in rosemary essential oil, carrying a subtle, herbaceous, and woody aroma along with some of the beneficial characteristics of the herb. Rosemary hydrosol has several potential uses:

1. Skincare: It’s valued for its potential toning and astringent properties, making it potentially beneficial for various skin types. Rosemary hydrosol might be used as a facial toner to help refresh and rejuvenate the skin.
2. Aromatherapy: Although less concentrated compared to the essential oil, rosemary hydrosol retains a mild herbal scent that’s considered invigorating and stimulating. It can be used in aromatherapy to create an energizing atmosphere or in personal care products for its fragrance.
3. Haircare: Some individuals use rosemary hydrosol in hair care routines as a scalp mist or rinse to potentially support scalp health and add a subtle herbal scent to hair.
