Pranarom's Lavender Hydrolate is ideal for skin care: this hydrolate soothes irritated, fragile, or sun-exposed skin thanks to its calming effect. Ideal for minor burns, irritations, and erythema (baby's bottom and chafing). In hair care: helps soothe scalp irritations. No preservatives - no alcohol - not diluted. Hydrolates are distilled vegetable waters. They are obtained by steam distillation of various parts of aromatic plants. They consist of the recondensed aqueous phase separated from the essential oil, if present. During the steam distillation process, aromatic hydrosols are typically harvested over a period of one hour, so that the richness of the aromatic hydrosol provides a significant fragrance characteristic of the distilled aromatic plant. Some, seeking extreme profitability, harvest volumes of distillation water over much longer periods (3 to 4 hours), but the product is not as useful as a treatment because its effectiveness is very poor compared to a truly authentic, concentrated hydrosol. Unlike essential oils obtained through the same extraction process, aromatic hydrosols contain, in addition to aromatic and terpene molecules, other molecules of a different nature. In fact, the steam extracts other active ingredients that, being hydrophilic, are found in the hydrosol. Its composition is therefore particular and unique. Lavender hydrolate is recommended to be applied twice a day, in the morning and/or at night, for the care of the face, body and hair. Apply with a cotton ball or spray: Dampen a cotton ball or spray from a distance of 20 cm directly onto the face, scalp, or any other area of the body. Allow to dry naturally, if possible. Use within 6 months of opening. Store in a cool, dark place. Avoid the eye area. Do not spray directly into eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Caution: Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. No smoking. Pressurized container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Protect from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C - 122°F. Pressurized container: May burst if heated. EXTERNAL USE. Storing it in a dark place and refrigerating it will preserve it for longer. Once opened, the bottle can only be used for 6 months, as any aqueous phase can quickly become contaminated. Cosmetic
