Product Introduction
Helichrysum hydrosol is a gentle yet potent by-product of the steam distillation process used to extract essential oil from the Helichrysum italicum plant. This floral water carries many of the beneficial properties of the essential oil while being milder and suitable for direct application on the skin.
Production Process
The production of helichrysum hydrosol involves steam distillation. During this process, steam passes through the plant material, extracting essential oils and hydrosol. The condensed steam separates into two layers; the top layer holds the essential oil, while the bottom layer remains as hydrosol. This method allows for the retention of many active compounds in the formulation.
