Product Introduction
Licorice hydrosol is a gentle and aromatic byproduct of the essential oil distillation process of the licorice plant. This hydrosol captures the unique properties of licorice while being safe and easy to use in various applications.
Production Process
The production of licorice hydrosol involves the steam distillation of the plant's roots, which releases volatile compounds along with water. This combination is then condensed, creating a watery solution enriched with the essence of the licorice plant, retaining its therapeutic benefits without the potency of the essential oil.
Effects and Functions
Licorice hydrosol is particularly valued for its anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for soothing skin irritations and redness. Its calming effects can help relieve stress and anxiety when used in aromatherapy. Additionally, it may assist in nourishing and hydrating the skin, making it a great addition to skincare routines.
Application Scenarios
Licorice hydrosol is versatile in its applications. It can be used as a facial toner, offering hydration and soothing benefits for the skin. In aromatherapy, it can be sprayed in the air or inhaled directly for a calming effect. It’s also beneficial in bath rituals, providing a touch of relaxation and sweetness to the bathing experience.
Source
Licorice roots are harvested mainly from regions known for their substantial production of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, such as parts of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The quality of the hydrosol largely depends on the source of the plant and the method of extraction.
