Woodland Warmth Hydrosol

Description:

Hydrosols are plant infused waters. Created from the forest floor of Northern Arizona using antioxidant-rich juniper and pine, this hydrosol will protect your skin from pollutants and neutralize free radicals. Paired with oak bark, which boasts astringent (tightening) benefits, this face mist is perfect for toning, tightening, and balancing your skin on a daily basis.

Similar to the essential oil making process, which also uses steam distillation, the hydrosol-making process is superior because it collects the whole output from the plant material rather than just the volatile oils (essential oils). This creates a gentler and more nuanced scent profile compared to extremely concentrated essential oils.

Benefits: 

• skin toning and firming/shrinks pores 
• antioxidant protection
• helps with inflammation 
• soothes hot skin
• inhibits bacteria growth/acne fighting
• improves circulation
• balances oil production 

Uses: Hydrosols can be used many different ways:

• spritz on your face after a shower for maximum hydration.
• apply in place of a perfume or body spray.
• apply to wounds, bug bites, sun burns*
• can be used in a diffuser.
• use as a linen spray or room spray.
• can be added in small amounts to foot soak or bath*
• spray in your hair for a refresh*
• use for emotional support or better sleep*
• spray on a cotton ball and use as a makeup remover or toner*

* based on the herbal properties in your hydrosol

Storage and Best Used By: Hydrosols have a 6 month expiration date. This can be extended by keeping it in the fridge. 

Putting your hydrosol in the fridge can also change the scent profile slightly. Experiment with room temperature water and cooler water to see which you like best.

Factors that can contribute to the oxidation of plant waters include exposure to air, light, and heat. It's important to store plant waters in a cool, dark place.
