Hydrolats & Hydrosols | Floral Waters for Skincare

Here at Aromantic, we stock two varieties of waters: Hydrolats and Hydrosols.

Hydrolats are also sometimes called hydrolates and are the by-product of steam distillation when producing essential oils. This is a true hydrolat and it may not smell exactly as you expected as a consequence, although generally, the fragrance is incredible.

Hydrosols are where the essential oil has been dispersed into the water. These often give a fragrance that is more expected as it is made from the named essential oil.

Both types have desirable attributes which is why we stock both, but we want you to be able to clearly understand which type you have ordered.

Please note; as Hydrosols and Hydrolats are very fragile, they don’t usually have a long shelf life. If you would like to find out the expiry date of any of our products including the Hydrolats and Hydrosols, please contact our customer service department.

FAQs

What is the difference between Hydrolats and Hydrosols?

Here at Aromantic UK, we stock two varieties of waters: Hydrolats and Hydrosols.

Hydrolats (also called hydrolates) are the natural by-product of steam distillation during essential oil production. They contain water-soluble plant compounds and may not always smell exactly like the essential oil, although they often have a beautifully natural fragrance.
Hydrosols are waters where essential oils have been dispersed into the water, giving a more familiar and recognisable scent that closely matches the original plant.

Both types offer valuable benefits for skincare and formulation, which is why we stock both.

What types of hydrolats and hydrosols do you offer?

We offer a wide range of hydrolats and hydrosols, including floral waters like rose, lavender, orange blossom, chamomile, and witch hazel, suitable for both DIY and professional skincare use.

What can I make with hydrolats and hydrosols?

You can create facial toners, mists, creams, lotions, masks, and other water-based skincare products depending on your formulation needs.
