Rosemary Hydrosol (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Invigorating Clarifier for Hair, Skin, and Mental Focus
🌿 What is Rosemary Hydrosol?
Rosemary Hydrosol is the aromatic water co-produced during steam distillation of rosemary leaves and flowers (Rosmarinus officinalis). Capturing water-soluble plant compounds, it offers a milder, gentler alternative to rosemary essential oil, with a fresh, herbaceous aroma. Renowned in traditional medicine, it’s prized for its stimulating, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.
