Rosemary Hydrosol
Rosemary Hydrosol. Handcrafted in Alberta (steam distilled) using an alembic copper distiller from Portugal + locally grown rosemary.
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.
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.
Rosemary Hydrosol Benefits:
Tone Skin: Rosemary hydrosol is also an excellent astringent that can help tighten the skin and protect it from toxins. Furthermore, it can also help with blood circulation, improving the overall skin tone.
Manage Acne: Prevents bacterial overgrowth and suppress the formation of acne.
Improve Skin Health: Rosemary hydrosol also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities that can help improve the skin’s overall health. It can fight inflammation, protect skin from oxidative stress and slow down ageing.
Reduces Anxiety: rosemary helps relax nerves and reduce anxiety. Camphor and borneol found in the rosemary hydrosol help stimulate the central nervous system, thus reducing anxiety.
Hair Growth: rosemary helps to stimulate growth of the hair follicles, improve blood flow to the scalp + can help repair damaged hair due its antioxidant properties.
Pain Relief: Rosemary hydrosol is analgesic just like the essential oil. You can use it straight as a pain-relieving spray. Spray it on arthritic joints, muscle cramps, bug bites and skin irritations throughout the day for relief.
Note: please use within 6 months to ensure freshness or alternatively store in fridge up to one year.
It's important to note that while rosemary 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.
