Our hydrosols — pure, plant-based floral waters — are created through careful steam distillation and bottled in pharmaceutical-grade clean-room conditions. No alcohol. No preservatives.

What is Hydrosol ?

GENTLE AROMATIC WATERS – HUMBLE, NATURAL, AND FULL OF FLOWER POWER.

Hydrosols are the gentle aromatic waters produced during the steam distillation of essential oils. Once thought of as a humble byproduct, they have since found their place as botanical treasures in natural skincare and wellness. More than just water with a scent, hydrosols contain the plant’s water-soluble compounds—like antioxidants, gentle acids, and trace minerals—that are lost in essential oil extraction. The result? A soothing, nutrient-rich mist that’s safe for sensitive skin and perfect for everyday rituals.

The Art of Distillation Aromatic Waters

1080x1080 Rose blossoms.jpg__PID:b2330f09-36a9-4c82-86db-6fa8e5f3dd17

WHERE WATER MEETS PLANT, AND SPIRIT BECOMES ESSENCE

How It Works: At its core, steam distillation is a process that combines heat, water, and plant material. Steam rises through fresh petals, leaves, resins, or roots, unlocking their volatile compounds — the aromatic molecules responsible for the plant’s scent and therapeutic properties.

STEAM DISTILLATION IS NOT JUST A PROCESS — IT'S A RITUAL OF TRANSFORMATION.

As the steam cools, it condenses back into liquid form, now divided into two layers: the essential oil floats or sinks, depending on its density, capturing the plant’s most concentrated aromatic essence.

ONE THAT TURNS THE SOUL OF THE PLANT INTO TWO SACRED GIFTS: ESSENTIAL OIL AND HYDROSOL.

The hydrosol — also known as floral water or hydrolate — is the delicately fragrant water that remains, infused with the water-soluble plant molecules and a hint of essential oil.Together, they are the twin spirits of the same distillation — one powerful and intense, the other gentle and nurturing.

Hydrosol FAQ

Hydrosol FAQ

Hydrosols are some of the most versatile and gentle plant products you can use—but they are also still a bit of a secret. Whether you're wondering how they’re made, how to use them, or how to keep them fresh, this is where you’ll find the answers.

Are hydrosols safe to use on skin?

Yes, hydrosols are safe for most skin types, including sensitive or reactive skin. Because they’re water-based and contain only trace amounts of essential oil, they’re much gentler than pure oils. Still, it’s best to patch-test new products and use high-quality, preservative-free hydrosols like Oshadhi’s.

What are the benefits of using hydrosols in skincare?

Hydrosols naturally hydrate, soothe, and balance the skin without any synthetic ingredients. They can help calm irritation, support skin regeneration, and provide a gentle plant-based aroma that uplifts the mood. They’re also versatile—perfect as toners, facial mists, or after-sun refreshers.

How do I choose the right hydrosol for my skin type?

Choose your hydrosol based on what your skin needs: rose or lavender for sensitive or dry skin, witch hazel or rosemary for oily or acne-prone skin, and chamomile or melissa for soothing redness. You can also choose based on the emotional effect—uplifting, calming, or grounding. It’s perfectly okay to use more than one depending on your mood or the season.

Which hydrosols are best for sensitive skin?

Gentle hydrosols like rose, lavender, blue chamomile, and melissa (lemon balm) are ideal for calming and hydrating sensitive or irritated skin. They reduce redness, soothe inflammation, and are safe enough for everyday use. Always look for pure, additive-free hydrosols for best results.

What is the best hydrosol for acne-prone skin?

For acne-prone skin, try witch hazel, thyme (linalool), rosemary verbenone, or bay laurel hydrosols. These help tone the skin, balance oil production, and gently purify without drying. Apply them as a toner or mist after cleansing.

Can hydrosols be used as a toner?

Yes! Hydrosols make excellent toners. They help balance the skin’s pH, tighten pores, and deliver gentle plant nutrients—all without alcohol or harsh ingredients.

How long do hydrosols last?

Most hydrosols last 6 to 12 months if stored properly. Once opened, they’re best used within 6 months and kept away from heat and direct light. If the scent changes or it appears cloudy, it’s time to replace it.

Which hydrosol is best for calming anxiety?

Hydrosols like neroli, lavender, chamomile, and melissa are known for their calming effects on the nervous system. Mist them on your face, pillow, or into the air to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Their aroma is gentle but deeply supportive for emotional balance.

Can I use hydrosols in DIY skincare products?

Absolutely. Hydrosols make a great base for facial masks, creams, body sprays, and more. They add both skin benefits and a light natural scent—just make sure you’re using fresh, pure hydrosols for best results.

Should I refrigerate my hydrosol?

Yes—refrigeration helps preserve freshness, especially after opening. It also gives you an extra refreshing experience when you mist! Just keep the cap closed tight and avoid contamination.

Are hydrosols safe for babies or during pregnancy?

Many hydrosols—like lavender, chamomile, and rose—are gentle enough for babies and supportive during pregnancy. However, always consult a qualified practitioner if you’re unsure, and avoid stronger varieties unless advised.

Where to buy organic hydrosols online?

You can find high-quality, organic hydrosols directly on our webshop at oshadhi.com. We offer a wide selection of over 50 pure plant waters—each tested for quality and crafted with care.

Hydrosols vs. Herbal Tea: What’s the Difference?

Hydrosols are more than just floral waters; they represent the plant’s pure essence, extracted through steam distillation. Unlike herbal teas, which are steeped in hot water and made for drinking, hydrosols are produced during the essential oil distillation process. As steam passes through the plant material, it captures both water-soluble compounds and gentle aromatic elements. The result? A water-based botanical that’s ready to use on your skin—straight from the bottle. No steeping. No brewing. No guesswork.
