Chamomile is a plant that has been used in both traditional and modern medicine for centuries. Since the ancient Egyptians, it has been favored for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. Chamomile hydrosol is a modern reflection of this historical heritage.
Chamomile hydrosol is extracted from the plant Matricaria recutita, which grows mainly in the temperate regions of Europe, the Middle East and North America. These regions have ideal growing conditions that support the rich and effective properties of the chamomile plant.
Production: Chamomile hydrosol is produced by steam distillation. The plants are steam distilled and the vapor is cooled to a liquid state. This process produces the hydrosol, which contains the essential oils and nutritional properties of chamomile. The flowers of the plant are used in production. The flowers carry the healing and relaxing components of chamomile, which determine the effectiveness and aroma profile of the hydrosol.
Color, Aroma and Fragrance: Chamomile hydrosol is usually a clear or slightly yellowish liquid. In terms of odor, it offers a light, sweet and herbal aroma. This scent provides a relaxing and calming effect both in skin care and aromatherapy. The fragrance note offers a natural and relaxing aroma. The aroma strength is generally low to medium. This makes the product gentle and effective in both skin care and aromatherapy.
Warnings: Chamomile hydrosol is generally a safe product. However, it should be used with caution on sensitive skin or in people at risk of allergic reactions. A small test is recommended before using a new product. It is also important to follow the instructions for use of the product.
Storage: It is best to store Chamomile Hydrosol in a cool, dry and dark place. It can remain at room temperature, but should be kept away from direct sunlight and moisture. This preserves the freshness and effectiveness of the hydrosol.
