lavender Hydrosol
As a farmer of lavender, I can tell you that lavender hydrosol is an incredibly versatile and effective ingredient. It’s the by-product of the steam-distillation process used to produce lavender essential oil. Lavender hydrosol can be used for a variety of uses including personal care, cleaning, and pet care.
For personal care uses, hydrosol can be used as a facial toner, a body mist, or an aftershave. When used as a facial toner, hydrosol can help to balance and restore your skin’s pH levels, reduce redness, and help reduce the appearance of blemishes. It also has anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce swelling and inflammation of the skin. Lavender hydrosol can also be used as a body mist, which helps to hydrate skin and leave you feeling refreshed throughout the day. As an aftershave, hydrosol can help to soothe and reduce irritation from shaving.
Lavender hydrosol is a great cleaning agent, as it has natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties that can help reduce the spread of germs and bacteria. It can be used to disinfect surfaces and as an all-purpose cleaner. Hydrosol can also be used to reduce the spread of odor-causing bacteria in bathrooms and kitchens.
Finally, lavender hydrosol can be used to clean and condition your pet’s coat. Hydrosol can help to reduce shedding and may even help to reduce pet allergies. Not to mention, the lavender scent will keep your pet smelling fresh and clean. All in all, it’s easy to see why so many people are turning to lavender hydrosol for a variety of uses. So, why not give it a try today? You won’t be disappointed!
