A hydrosol is the aromatic water that remains after
producing an essential oil via steam or water
distillation. They are used as flavorings, medicine and
in skin care.
Hydrosols are sometimes also referred to as a floral
water or distillate water, hydrolate, herbal water and
essential water.
Herbal distillates are produced in the same manner as
essential oils. However, the essential oil will float to
the top of the distillate where it is removed, leaving
behind the watery distillate.
