Organic pine hydrolate, 5 kg

Hydrolates are water condensates, i.e. the by-products of essential oil production by way of steam distillation. This colloidal microparticle system of plant actives (the sol) contains various hydrophilic biologically active substances and a small amount of essential oil, which functions as a preservative for the hydrolates by extending their use-by date up to 2 years.
These plant waters have a more subtle and delicate scent compared to essential oils.
Hydrolates contain as little as 0.01 to 0.1% of essential oils. As a result, they can be used safely and effectively for adult and children aromatherapy.
Unlike the production of aqueous emulsions of essential oils, during the production of hydrolates, the essential oil is distributed in the form of fine particles that form a stable colloidal system, which does not require additional stabilisation using emulsifiers. Recent studies have shown that hydrolates have antibacterial and antifungal effects.

USE OF HYDROLATES

Water procedures are an integral part of any spa. Due to its acidic pH, it is perfect for moisturizing, washing, revitalizing and keeping the skin in good condition during bathing. Hydrolats can be used for spa procedures:
In steam (Turkish) baths: dilute 1 liter of hydrolat to 50 liters of water, aromatize wet (Turkish) baths (45-55oC, 70-99% relative humidity) using a special purpose vaporizer.
In hammams, for room humidification and aromatization using a vaporizer.
In pearl baths: 200 ml of hydrolat – dilute with 200 l of water.
In tubs: 200 ml of hydrolate – dilute with 200 l of water.
In whirlpools (jacuzzi) and swimming pools: 200 ml of hydrolat – dilute with 200 l of water.

Due to the skin-friendly acidic medium (pH 3.5-6.5), hydrolats are particularly suitable for use in the production of cosmetics: enriching the composition of creams, lotions, soap, shampoo and other products.

WARNING:
Store in a dark place at a temperature below 17 ° C.
Storage at room temperature significantly reduces the shelf life of hydrolat.
When kept at an ambient temperature above +10 °C, slight clouding occurs.
