Floral Waters (Hydrosols) are premium cosmetic ingredients widely used in the formulation of natural skincare and personal care products. They contain the water-soluble botanical compounds of the plant together with its delicate natural aroma, adding both functional benefits and a pleasant sensory experience to cosmetic formulations.
Depending on the botanical source, floral waters may provide moisturising, soothing, balancing, toning, or refreshing properties, making them a versatile ingredient for a wide range of skincare and haircare products.
Floral waters can be used as a complete replacement for water or blended with deionised water in any cosmetic formulation containing a water phase. They are ideal for use in:
- creams and emulsions,
- soaps,
- facial toners and mists,
- lotions,
- serums,
- face masks,
- shampoos and hair care products,
- and virtually any other cosmetic formulation that includes a water phase.
By incorporating floral waters into your formulations, you enhance your products with a naturally pleasant fragrance, added botanical value, and the unique characteristics of the plant from which they are derived.
