Lavender Hydrosol


What exactly is Lavender Hydrosol? Lavender Hydrosol is produced during the steam distillation of essential lavender oil. During this process a small amount of lavender essential oil is permanently suspended among the water molecules. Also known as floral water, it is an ideal means of bringing the all-natural antiseptic, cleansing, oil solvent and insect repellent properties of lavender essential oil to a wide range of uses.What are the ingredients in Lavender Hydrosol?Lavender Hydrosol is a natural colloidal suspension of a small amount of essential lavender oil in a large volume of water. We neither add to nor dilute the lavender hydrosol in any way. How can I use Lavender Hydrosol as a cleaner?• For cleaning and disinfecting all hard surfaces (sinks, counters, floors, refrigerators, stove tops, desks, dashboards, etc.) • As a natural solvent for removal of oily substances from kitchen and bathroom counter tops and other hard surfaces• As an all-natural no-scrub daily shower spray to help prevent mildew• For non-streaking no-residue cleaning of windows, glass, mirrors, fine jewelry and computer/TV/iPhone/iPod/iPad screens• For removing water spots and fingerprints from chrome and stainless steel  What surfaces can I use Lavender Hydrosol on?Lavender Hydrosol is effective on glass, mirror, wood, tile, granite, marble, stained concrete, Formica, stainless steel, chrome, carpets, rugs, upholstery, leather and more. It should not, however, be left standing in pools on any waxed or oiled surface for an undue amount of time to avoid leaving a watermark.What is the difference between Lavender Hydrosol and Lavender Air Mist/ Linen Spray?We do not add anything to our lavender hydrosol once it is produced. While it has a pleasant, earthy fragrance of its own that many find sufficiently “lavendery”, it may not smell strongly of what some may have come to expect from lavender. For use as a means to fragrance the air of an enclosed space – kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, boat, RV, plane, etc., we recommend our Air Mist / Linen Spray which contains both additional lavender essential oil and sweet orange oil. It smells more strongly of lavender and is also specially formulated to remain in the air as long as possible, making it better suited for such applications. It can also be used as a means to fragrance textiles – linens, pillows, clothing, throw pillows, upholstery, car interiors, etc.How can I use Lavender Hydrosol as an insect repellant around the house?Lavender’s powerful insect repellant properties allow for completely non-toxic, pleasantly fragranced suppression of insect infestations in a variety of situations – in cupboards, closets, and other enclosed areas (does not stain clothing), in pantries, on windowsills, and on house plants to prevent all-too-common insect infestations.  How can I use Lavender Hydrosol on the body?• For rinsing, cleaning of skin abrasions and cuts • For soothing on itching skin associated with sun or wind burn, eczema, dryness, and aging• As a preferred cleanser for infants and adult personal hygiene Is Lavender Hydrosol safe to spray on the skin? Yes. . How can I use Lavender Hydrosol with my pet?• As a chemical-free cleaning alternative to clean floors, dog bowl, kennel – anything your dog comes into contact with • Adding to a water bowl each day to keep the water clear and aid against bad breath• Treating “hot spots” and other inflammatory skin conditions (utilizing both the antiseptic and anesthetic properties of lavender)• Spraying on your pet's coat as a flea repellant and for added freshness and shine Does it have an expiration date?Lavender hydrosol is best stored at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. When stored properly it can last several years.
