Hydrolats VS Hyrdosols
Hydrolats and hydrosols are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two. Hydrolats are the water-based by-products of the steam distillation of plant material, whereas hydrosols are the water-based product of the steam distillation of aromatic plants.
Hydrolats are sometimes considered to be of lower quality than hydrosols because they may contain some essential oils and have a shorter shelf life. However, they are less expensive and can be used in a variety of formulations, including toners, lotions, and facial sprays.
Hydrosols are highly aromatic and often used in perfumes, room sprays, and facial mists. They are more expensive than hydrolats due to their purity and concentration, but they offer many benefits to the skin and hair.
