Natural Perfume
Wonderful as a natural perfume. Spray on body any time of day.
Douche Spray
Spray on underwear to refresh the southern parts. Feels and smells clean and fresh!
A French secret
These Hydrosols are used daily for a youthful complexion and soft, shiny hair when used liberally throughout the day.
Calming/ Cooling/ Healing
Rose hydrosol promotes cell repair to treat aging skin. It is an excellent coolant for minor burns, sunburns, cuts, scrapes, eczema rashes, irritation, sores and soothing sensitive skin. Follow with an essential oil treatment.
Babies
Mild enough for newborns, calms diaper rash and irritations on the skin of babies and young children. The cool mist can aid in soothing cranky babies.
People with sensitive skin often choose hydrosols over essential oils because of their gentle nature. Rose Hydrosol is extremely safe and can be used directly on the skin and is safe for internal use.
How to use
Spray liberally on Face, Neck, décolleté, and hair often. Provides immediate hydration and balances pH for thirsty, dry skin and hair. Always use undiluted and on clean skin. Spray liberally for effective treatments.
Hydrosols have been used in cooking for thousands of years. Most Middle Eastern and Persian dishes use Rose hydrosol and Neroli hydrosol as a staple in their cooking.

About Our Hydrosols
What are Melissa’s Botanicals Medicinal Hydrosols?
Our hydrosols are distilled in stainless steel stills and processed through certified organic methods at SAPAD located in Provence, France. True hydrosols are not essential oils added to water; they are the water part of essential oil distillation. Also known as floral waters, hydrolates, or distillates, hydrosols contain all of the water-soluble elements of a plant and are very effective for skin care, as well as extremely safe. Because they are a milder extract, hydrosols are suitable for all manner of applications where essential oils may be too strong. There is about 1-2 percent of the essential oil still present at the end of hydrosol filtration. Because of our purity and authenticity, one can use our hydrosols internally and externally liberally.
