A gentle, alcohol-free floral water with dozens of everyday uses — for cleaning, household, skin, hair, home, and beyond.
About Our Lavender Hydrosol
Lavender hydrosol is the water-soluble portion of the lavender distillation process, carrying the plant's naturally fresh scent and gentle character into every bottle. We bottle it in a few different ways depending on when it's captured: the first 15 minutes of distillation is set aside as our Face Mist — made from strictly English lavender varieties for a light, aromatic quality. The remaining four to five hours of distillation are bottled as Multi-Purpose Spray, Plant Spray, and our Hydrosol Jugs. All are drawn from the same batch, so any of them can be used on skin, though Face Mist is the one we recommend for the face.
