The alchemical process used to produce hydrosol is called steam/hydro distillation, utilizing a hand-pounded copper alembic still. The art of steam distillation dates back to 500 BC, when Persian alchemists created copper stills to distill beloved rose water, as well as other fine balms and perfumes. Copper has been prized as an optimum metal in the Alchemical tradition, due to its natural antimicrobial properties and incredible rate of heat conduction."  *Slow’s hydrosols are crafted in our small home-based apothecary through traditional copper steam and/or hydro distillation. Our hydrosols have a 12-month expiration date; however, this can be extended by storing your hydrosol in the fridge. This may change the scent profile slightly and I recommend storing in a cool, dark area away from direct sunlight for the first 12 months and then storing in the fridge for up to an additional 6-12 months. Exposure to air, light and heat will increase oxidation in plant waters and may change the PH, making them unsuitable for your skin. Please store properly to optimal efficacy and potency!    ORGANIC & ETHICAL INGREDIENTS Lavandula angustifolia (munstead lavender), distilled water RITUAL Hydrosols offer a multitude of uses including: - use a facial spray for ultimate hydration (spritz before you apply one of our tallow butters/balms and you will be AMAZED!) - use as a facial toner or make up remover - use as a light perfume - spritz onto your hair and scalp for scent, hydration (trust me!), and microbiome balance - use as a room, linen or clothing spray - apply to wounds, bug bites or sunburns for relief - use for aromatherapy in your diffuser - use for emotional well-being MORE Even though ALL of Slow's creations are made with pure and organic ingredients, and it is highly unlikely that any reaction will occur, it is still wise to always begin with a small amount to test for irritation. Each product is made in micro batches by me in our home-based apothecary and there may be some variation from batch to batch, but ratios remain the same.
