What It Does
Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Water is the aqueous distillate obtained during the steam distillation of true lavender flowers, collected as a co-product of essential oil production. This hydrosol retains water-soluble aromatic compounds and trace amounts of essential oil, providing gentle calming and soothing properties with lavender's characteristic floral scent. Formulators favor it as a multifunctional ingredient that can replace water in formulations while adding sensory benefits, mild antimicrobial activity, and skin-soothing properties, particularly in natural and aromatherapeutic cosmetics.
