Organic Bourbon Geranium Hydrolat - Microfiltered

Description

Hydrosols are the water obtained from essential oil distillation. They consist of 99% water, while the remaining 1% contains a small proportion of the constituents of the essential oil that was distilled.

Hydrosols are often confused with floral waters, mainly because they are called floral waters in other countries. Floral waters contain preservatives and may be natural and/or synthetic, whereas a hydrosol contains no preservatives. Hydrosols are more expensive and, because they contain no preservatives, have a much shorter shelf life (between 6 months and a year) than floral waters.

Microfiltered: what does it mean?

The greatest threat to hydrosols is fermentation caused by contamination.
Traditional distillation methods inevitably leave small fragments of plant material, so filtration should take place as soon as possible. A membrane device can filter out microscopic bacteria, fungi, yeasts and plant residues, leaving a completely clean hydrosol.

Mi Cosmética Casera’s Microfiltered range guarantees scent, aroma and shelf life without added preservatives. The cold process also preserves all of the hydrosol’s properties.
