Organic Lavender Hydrosol smells slightly different from the herb and essential oil. It is lighter and somewhat earthier in fragrance and doesn't possess the camphorous note that many lavender essential oils have.
Organic Lavender Hydrosol acts as a humectant and also helps to balance the skin. It can be used for all skin types including combination skin. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can be helpful in the prevention and healing of acne. It is also known for its ability to help cool sunburn and sooth insect bites. It is a good cleanser for wounds. Combine it with our Cistus Hydrosol for an antibacterial cut, scrape and wound wash that helps stop bleeding. Suzanne Catty mentions that other uses for Lavender Hydrosol includes using to help prevent ingrown hairs and that it's a good addition to pre-shave formulations to help men get closer shaves.
Organic Lavender Hydrosol is calming and is safe to use in babycare and childcare formulations. Its remarkable calming properties makes it a wonderful addition to sprays for baby's room, baby's bathwater and for use to wipe after diaper changes. It is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial and can be used as a soothing wetting agent for natural baby wipes. It can also be blended with one of our chamomile hydrosols for a synergistic anti-inflammatory and calming blend. Suzanne Catty suggests using it for little girls who want a perfume of their own, and we agree.
Organic Lavender Hydrosol provides emotional balance. It is both invigorating yet calming. It is an ideal hydrosol for inclusion in formulations for anxiety, depression, irritability and stress.
