DESCRIPTION: Cucumber hydrosol is a product of the distillation of cucumber fruit. It has a similar bright, fresh, crisp scent as its fruit. It contains hydrophilic compounds of the plant active; It is highly hydrating similar to aloe vera. When used as a base, it contributes to a calming and hydrating formula. Suitable for all skin types.
Hydrosols are produced by distilling plant materials (leaves, bark, flowers, fruits etc) They have a scent that is reminiscent of the plant material’s essential oil but subtler – much less concentrated. They contain very little of the plant’s hydrophilic aromatic esters, so they are quite gentle on the skin.
We also call them Bioactive waters because they contain the plant’s cellular water and other volatile botanical compounds that have skincare and haircare benefits. The hydrosols we offer are specially distilled, they are not by-products or co-products. They come preserved for longer shelf life.
