About This Product

Lavender hydrosol (lavender water) is the aromatic aqueous co-product from the steam distillation of Lavandula angustifolia flowering tops for lavender essential oil. As the world's most popular essential oil, lavender generates substantial hydrosol as a distillation co-product with its own distinct and valuable therapeutic profile. While lavender essential oil concentrates the lipophilic terpenes (linalool, linalyl acetate), the hydrosol captures the water-soluble aromatic and therapeutic compounds, resulting in a product that is simultaneously gentler than the essential oil yet carries the true, fresh floral character of the living lavender flower — a more delicate but arguably more authentic lavender aroma. Our lavender hydrosol is produced from lavender cultivated at 1,500+ meters in Xinjiang Province, where the high-altitude, sunny, dry conditions produce premium lavender with excellent ester content.
