Using Chamomile Water
Flower waters, or hydrosols, are made when essential oils are distilled. Hydrosols contain water-soluble components of the plants as well as small amounts of oils, so their chemistry is more complex than that of distilled oils. They tend to be gentler, too.
At Gaelle Organic, we use chamomile water in Treatment Superieure for its brightening, soothing and freshening properties.
Hydrosols are also used for their gentle astringent properties and are often found in toners designed to minimize pores, reduce breakouts, and smooth the skin’s surface.
