Product Introduction
Orange blossom hydrosol, also known as neroli water, is a fragrant liquid created during the steam distillation of orange blossoms. This hydrosol carries the delicate floral aroma of the blossoms, bringing along many of their benefits while being gentler than the essential oil extracted from the same plant.
Production Process
The production of orange blossom hydrosol begins with the collection of fresh orange blossoms, typically sourced from the Bitter Orange tree. These flowers are then subjected to steam distillation, a process that captures both the essential oil and the hydrosol. The steam passes through the plant material, extracting the aromatic compounds, which then condense back into liquid form, separating the essential oil from the hydrosol.
Effects and Functions
Orange blossom hydrosol is known for its soothing and calming properties. It offers a soft scent that can promote relaxation and reduce stress levels when used in aromatherapy. Additionally, it is beneficial for the skin, helping to hydrate without overwhelming sensitivity. Its component flavonoids contribute to its antioxidant properties, which may aid in skin health.
Application Scenarios

It can also serve as a natural room spray, imparting a light, uplifting fragrance to living spaces. For culinary uses, it adds a unique floral note to desserts and beverages. It is often blended into creams and lotions for enhanced skin benefits.
