Hydrosols, also known as floral waters or aromatic waters, are often perceived as simple by-products of essential oil distillation. However, they are complex and potent botanical liquids in their own right, offering a unique set of benefits distinct from essential oils. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. is pleased to offer Centella Asiatica Hydrosol, and we believe understanding the science behind hydrosols enhances appreciation for their value.

The creation of a hydrosol involves the steam distillation of plant material. During this process, steam passes through the plant, vaporizing the volatile aromatic compounds. As this steam is cooled and condensed, it forms two distinct liquids: the essential oil (which floats on top due to lower density) and the hydrosol (the water-based distillate). Crucially, the hydrosol is not merely water; it is water that has been saturated with the water-soluble compounds of the plant and contains a small percentage of the essential oil's components. This means hydrosols retain not only fragrance but also beneficial plant molecules that are not oil-soluble.

Centella Asiatica Hydrosol, specifically, is rich in these water-soluble plant substances and mineral nutrients. Unlike pure essential oils, which are highly concentrated and often require dilution, hydrosols are naturally at a much lower concentration, making them inherently gentler. This characteristic is why Centella Asiatica Hydrosol can be used directly on the skin without causing irritation, serving effectively as a natural skin toner. Its composition is ideal for those seeking alcohol-free skincare, as it avoids the drying and stripping effects associated with alcohol-based products. The focus on plant water-soluble substances ensures a comprehensive nutritional profile for the skin.

The benefits of Centella Asiatica Hydrosol are a direct result of its scientific composition. The plant's inherent properties, such as its hydrating and soothing capabilities, are captured in the water-soluble fraction. This makes it an excellent herbal extract skin toner, suitable even for sensitive skin. Its use as a facial spray or as an ingredient in DIY formulations capitalizes on its ability to deliver these beneficial compounds directly to the skin or hair. The purity of the distillation process, free from harsh chemicals, further enhances its appeal.
