Magnolia Hydrosol
INCI Magnolia Champaca Flower Water
Overview
A softly floral, exotic hydrosol distilled from magnolia flowers.
What it is
Magnolia Hydrosol is the water collected when magnolia champaca flowers are processed for their aromatic compounds. It carries a gentle, sweet, exotic floral character.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Magnolia champaca is grown widely across South and Southeast Asia. The water collected during processing is bottled separately as the hydrosol.
What it does in a formulation
As a light, fragrant water, Magnolia 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
Magnolia has such an exotic, romantic quality — we like the way it lends a formula a slightly more special, elevated floral note.
