Floral water or hydrolat is water that is loaded with water-soluble active molecules. It is much easier to absorb than the corresponding essential oil, whether ingested or absorbed through the skin.
All floral waters are astringent and have an acid pH between 4 and 6, which means they are excellent for toning and firming skin. They are sought after for their ability to tighten skin pores and refine skin texture. The acid pH of floral waters also helps seal hair follicles; that’s why they should be preferred as a hair conditioner to make hair styling easier and restore shine.
We obtain Hitton’s organic peppermint floral water by distilling the plants grown on our farm. Our floral waters are of the very highest quality: 1 kg of flowers is needed to produce 1 litre of floral water to obtain the greatest concentration of plant active ingredients, guaranteeing total effectiveness. You’ll love this concentration for the powerful fragrance of our floral water: after all, the scent needs to be strong. Our still, located just three minutes away from the fields, is made of stainless steel and we don’t use fuel oil, gas or electricity to power it. Instead, we use the wood from our forests bordering the fields of aromatic plants.
Our floral waters are packaged in opaque glass bottles to protect them against UVs, thus ensuring their properties are preserved, and allowing us to keep to our commitment of reducing our environmental footprint.
Our floral waters do not contain any preservatives.
