Description Distilled from the flowering tops of the Helichrysum italicum plant, Helichrysum Hydrosol has a deep honeyed, herbal, earthy aroma. It is helpful for soothing skin irritations from outdoor pests, plants, and other threats or irritants. It also works well as a toner to help purify and balance the skin and supports the natural healing of scars, bruises, and swelling. Use this hydrosol as a cold compress to help soothe sore muscles after a good workout or strenuous day. Hydrosols are the aromatic remains following a plant’s steam distillation process. They consist entirely of cellular botanical water, which includes unique water-loving (hydrophilic) compounds that provide each hydrosol with distinct characteristics and benefits.
