Botanical Hydrosol - Lavender 'Grosso'
e 100 ml / 3.38 fl. oz.
Suitable for all skin types especially oily and combination skin.
CALMING + COOLING
Therapeutically, lavender ‘grosso’ has the same calming, cooling and healing qualities as lavender angustifolia. It is a wonderful tonic for the skin and is particularly useful as a healing toner for oily or irritated skin.
Lavender ‘grosso’ (Lavandula x intermedia ‘grosso) is a member of the lavender family that is particularly favoured in France for its high oil yield. Its aroma is similar to English lavender but with a stronger greener, lightly-sweet floral top note. This makes it a very popular ingredient in French cosmetic products and perfumes.
At Botanical Seasons, we harvest lavender ‘grosso’ in the morning from our spray-free gardens to distill in our copper Alembic Still, creating healing hydrosol. This centuries-old alchemical process, performed in small batches, honours the art of plant distillation, while working gently with the plant and seasons.

WHAT IS A HYDROSOL?
Hydrosols are produced along with essential oils through the process of gentle water or steam distillation of fresh plant material.
In recent history, this water has been cast aside as it was only the precious essential oils that were the focus of distillation. Thankfully, we are now fully realising what a mistake this was and how therapeutic and very special this ‘water’ actually is.
Just like essential oils, hydrosols contain therapeutic properties of that particular plant but in a gentler form. The main chemistry difference is the essential oil contains lipophilic (oil) constituents whereas hydrosols are made up of the water-soluble constituents of the plant. They are much less concentrated than essential oils and gentle.
We believe hydrosols contain the life force of the plant in its liquid form (also referred to as cellular water).
