The Blue Lotus Organic Hydrosol has a delightful Blue Lotus scent and can be used in skin care to retain moisture in the skin due to its astringent nature. It can also be used topically to reduce inflammation of skin legions, rashes, and allergic reactions or bacterial infections. This wondrous plant also contains compounds that have been shown to maintain healthy cells within the hair, skin, and nails.
Hydrosols/Floral Waters are a by-product of the steam distillation process used to extract essential oils. The water recovered from the process retains some of the essences of the plants. Hydrosols/Floral waters can be used as part of the manufacturing process anywhere that water is required. They can be added to skin care, baths, as a spritzer to refresh or relax and they make excellent linen and air fresheners.
