Lavender Hydrosol
INCI Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Water
Overview
A soft, floral hydrosol distilled from lavender flowers.
What it is
Lavender Hydrosol is the water collected when lavender flowers are steam-distilled for their essential oil. It carries a gentle, familiar, floral-herbaceous character.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Lavandula angustifolia is grown widely across temperate climates, particularly southern France. The water that condenses alongside the essential oil during distillation is collected separately as the hydrosol.
What it does in a formulation
As a light, fragrant water, Lavender Hydrosol is used in place of some or all of the water in a formula, bringing a soft, floral note into the finished product.
Why Lovebee uses it
Lavender is such an easy, familiar favourite — the hydrosol lets us bring that same comforting character into a formula in a gentler, lighter form.
Good to know
- Vegan and entirely plant-derived.
Common questions
- What does Lavender Hydrosol smell like?
Soft and floral, with lavender’s familiar herbaceous character, gentler than the essential oil.
- Is Lavender Hydrosol the same as Lavender Essential Oil?
No. The hydrosol is the water collected during distillation and is much more dilute than the essential oil.
- Is Lavender Hydrosol vegan?
Yes — it’s a plant-derived ingredient with no animal inputs.
