What exactly is Lavender Hydrosol? Lavender Hydrosol is produced during the steam distillation of essential lavender oil.

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.
