How to use Puressentiel Organic Floral Waters?

WHAT ARE FLORAL WATERS?

Floral water is an aromatic water obtained after distillation of natural raw material (for flowers, it is called "floral water"). The residual water is obtained after separating it from the distillation product (the essential oil). It is much less concentrated in active ingredients (between 0.02% and 0.20%) than essential oils.

HOW IS FLORAL WATER OBTAINED?

It is one of the two products obtained during steam distillation. During this process, the volatile compounds of the plant are carried by steam to the condenser. The essential oil, which is in most cases lighter than water, floats on the surface in the "essencier". 
The water it covers is called "floral water" in the case of flower distillation, "hydrolats", or aromatic distilled water for other parts of the plant. There are rare cases where the essential oil is heavier than water (e.g. clove). Floral water must be obtained during the first half-hour of distillation to be of good enough quality. Floral water is shallow in aromatic components, between 0.5% and 0.1%, and therefore much less active than the essential oil.

KEY QUESTIONS ON FLORAL WATERS

ARE FLORAL WATERS PHOTOSENSITIZING?

Puressentiel floral waters do not contain photosensitizing compounds. However, as a precautionary measure, and to avoid any risk of individual allergy, in the event of planned exposure to the sun, it is preferable to apply the flower water in the evening or morning before showering.

DO YOU HAVE TO WIPE FLORAL WATERS OFF ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN SPRAYED ON THE SKIN?

To fully benefit from the floral waters, it is preferable not to wipe the water off, but to wait until the skin completely absorbs it.

WHAT IS THE USE-BY DATE?

Puressentiel floral waters can be used up to six months after opening. However, there is no need to place them in the refrigerator.

IS THE FRAGRANCE NATURAL?

Puressentiel Floral waters are 100% natural, without the addition of synthetic fragrance. They have a slightly more herbaceous scent than the flowers from which they come, except for the cornflower floral water, which is almost odourless. Please note that if a cornflower flower is very aromatic/perfumed, this means that it has been transformed, such as the addition of perfume.
