What is Chamomile Hydrosol?
Chamomile Hydrosol is a byproduct of the steam distillation process used to extract essential oils from chamomile flowers. It is a water-based solution that retains some of the beneficial properties and fragrance of chamomile essential oil.
Chamomile Hydrosol is often used in cosmetics and skincare for its soothing and refreshing properties. It is considered gentle on the skin and is sometimes used in products aimed at sensitive or irritated skin. The scientific evidence on chamomile suggests anti-inflammatory and calming effects, but the evidence is not universally agreed upon for hydrosols.
