We welcome you to Hello Cider, Austin-based purveyors of the very finest in organic, all-natural botanical skin care and beauty products.
The magic of hydrosols is widely regarded the world over, and they are known by many names. Also called floral waters, they smell just as sweet. Whether the name you use is inspired by natural science or by romance, both terms refer, essentially, to the same beautiful thing.
Whatever your favorite terminology, hydrosols are considered by many to be a miracle remedy for a wide variety of skin ailments. They also serve to enhance one's established beauty and self-care routine. Certain varieties can even be put to use in the kitchen as tempting culinary accents.
Hydrosols are created using a time-tested steam distillation method, similar to the process used for extracting essential oils from plants. Blossoms, leaves, and other parts of the plants are utilized, and as in the wisdom of nature, nothing goes to waste. The essential oils float to the top, while the distillate or watery essence of the plant remains on the bottom. It is these aromatic elixirs that we use in the carefully crafted recipes we bring to you.
The Nature of Floral Waters
Hydrosols are much less concentrated than their pure essential oil sisters. This feature makes them much safer and gentler to use for those with sensitive skin. Hydrosols are water-based, as one may aptly guess from their name. This is an extremely helpful attribute for those whose aim is to treat blemishes and oily skin.
Facials in Flower Essence
The benefits of incorporating a hydrosol into your daily routine are plenty. Before you even apply them to your face, you will likely take a moment to appreciate their lovely scents with a deep inhale. They are useful for all skin types and as treatment for times when you need a some extra soothing or a little pick-me-up. Hydrosols can be used as a mist on your face and body, or in the room to brighten and inspire.
