Introduction
What is hydrosol?
Hydrosols are the condensate result of steam distillation of plants or flowers produced when creating a natural essential oil.
The top floating layer of essential oil is removed and the remaining 90% of the water is considered hydrosol. Most often they are infused with essential oils —which is not the same thing as a true hydrosol. Pure hydrosols will contain some of the same aromatic molecules as essential oils but in a much lower concentration. They are typically clear and colourless and have a light, trace aroma of the original plant or flower.
Copper Distiller still for hydrosols designed especially for steam distillation and they are much more reliable than glass one. It’s a great gift and an amazing hobby.
When selecting hydrolats/ hydrosols, the most important thing to check out is how pure and natural they are. As we mentioned above some ‘floral or flower waters’ can be synthetic, or contain artificial additives, alcohol, preservatives, and colourings, which affects the therapeutic value.
This model is more practical and constructed with wooden handles. So, it becomes easier to carry when you need to clear or move somewhere.
A first cleaning distillation is essential to clean impurities and other unwanted substances. These substances, which are inherent to copper, are deposited after the still has not been in use for a relatively long period of time.
The lid and pot need to be sealed off to prevent the escape of vapors, same procedure between the swan neck and the condenser. This is achieved with a very simple and rudimentary sealing technique;

Application
Hydrosols work in many (but not all) applications that essential oil does. They just do it in smaller, safer doses. Because hydrosols are water-soluble, they dissolve easily in water-based applications – like baths
In traditional Finnish saunas, scents are commonly used scents, featuring a minty smell. Hydrosols offer a wide range of health benefits, including bacterial and fungal prevention, pain reduction, improved circulation, skin toning, body detoxification, and skin condition treatment.
Hydrosol is commonly used in Bath Tonics, Antiseptic Wound Spray, Bug-Off! Spray, Antibacterial Soap, Air Fresheners, Lemon Balm for Immune Health, Peppermint Antiseptic Mouthwash, Natural Body Spray, Facial Toner, Nourishing Face Masks.
