Lavender hydrosol (water) is the by product of the making of lavender essential oil, which I have distilled myself from the lavender flowers I grow. The lavender water contains minute particles of lavender oil and smells wonderful. Lavender Water, useful for cleaning, spraying on linen, or as air freshener , for washing minor wounds or burns and on teenage skin. Cooling on a hot day as a spritz or on sun-burn. Naturally anti-bacterial and anti- septic. It can also be used in your own natural skin care products.
