Hydrolate, also known as Hydrosol or floral water, is produced through the same process as
essential oil but applied in totally different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are like most Malaysians, you most likely have never even heard of Hydrolate before.
What is it? Which one to pick? How is it used? Let us try our best to answer all those questions
in this article!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, Hydrolate is water that
remains after distilling plant parts. As
a byproduct of essential oil distillation,
Hydrolate contains all beneficial
properties of the plant part from which
they were made. The smell is usually
bright and pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 main components in a
Hydrolate: water, plant matter, and
essential oil<\/em><\/strong>. About 0.02% of
Hydrolate is essential oil. The
substances within these oils are likely
to be extremely acidic but lucky they are hydrophilic or water-loving. Combination of the acidic oil and a lot of water neutralizes the acid, producing a weak acid that works wonder on our skin or body. Often people think that Hydrolate is just floral water, in fact, they can be made from any hydrophilic materials including fruits, vegetables, herbs, and even bark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here<\/mark><\/a>, you may find out how Hydrolate is extracted through a process called hydro-distillation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Hydrolate is extracted from the same source as essential oil, it offers multiple similar
benefits as essential oils, but with a few key differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
