Lavender Hydrosol. Handcrafted in Alberta (steam distilled) using an alembic copper distiller from Portugal + Lavender from Okanagan Valley.
What's a Hydrosol? Pure Plant Magic My Friend. It's an aromatic water created as a natural by-product when the leaves, fruits, barks, roots, and flowers of plants are distilled to produce essential oils. They share many of the same properties as essential oils and the plants they were created from, but they are much less concentrated and tend to have a gentler, more subtle aroma. When using a hydrosol you get the skin supporting benefits and delicious floral aroma of an essential oil that can be used directly on the skin without dilution.

It's important to note that while lavender hydrosol has many potential benefits, individuals with specific skin or health concerns should consult with a healthcare provider or dermatologist before incorporating it into their routine. Also, make sure to perform a patch test before using any new skincare product to ensure you do not have any adverse reactions.
Winter Warning: I strive to use glass bottles although in winter when temperatures drop below freezing I must change to PET bottles in order to guard against breakage. Breakage happens during shipping when the hydrosol freezes, expands, and then breaks the glass.
