What is the process used to create the Hydrosols that are used in Nature’s Gate Organics products?
Hydrosols (floral waters) are created during the process that is used to make essential oils. The procedure begins with certified organic botanicals that are placed within an enclosed steam distillation tank. The botanicals consist of all the vital plant components and may include flowers, petals, stem and leaves. As hot steam is forced through the plant material, the precious bio-actives (the essence of the plants’ beneficial properties) are captured. The steam is condensed and cooled and the oils are separated from the remaining botanically infused waters. These precious waters, hydrosols, contain the fundamental nature of the plants themselves, making them highly effective when used in personal care products.
