What are Hydrolates

Hydrolates: hydrolats, hydrosols, aromatic waters, floral waters, distillate waters. The biological activity makes them useful for FOOD abd COSMETICS industries. Hydrolates , also known as hydrosols, or herbal or floral waters, are by- products resulting after processing of medical plants into essential oils.

During this process, the herbs and flowers are distilled with spring water. The water is heated and presses itself through the plants as vapor, witch collects the essential oils and other ingredients present. Witch distilling, the essential oils – whitch float on the surface of the water – are removed, leaving the hydrolate, witch  contains a small quantity of essential oil and other water-soluble agents from the plant.
