What are Organic Tonics and Floral water (Hydrosols)?

Organic Tonics or Floral water (Hydrosols) are produced by distilling fresh leaves, fruits, flowers, and other plant materials. With similar therapeutic properties to essential oils, these aromatic waters are much less concentrated. Their aromas are often soft and subtle when compared to their essential oil counterpart. These aromatic products usually have a scent similar to their essential oil, but also can have a greener note. This comes from the water soluble constituents in the plant material that are not present in the essential oil. 

Biopark Cosmetics Organic hydrosols are 100% pure and undiluted, without added alcohol, preservatives or emulsifiers. Hydrosols are 3-5x more concentrated compared to other brands and are of superior quality. This means you can use less of them for skin care or when making your homemade cosmetic products but achieve the same effect. Because of their concentration, the hydrosols have a slightly cloudy (milky) appearance and an intense aroma, which testifies to their quality.
