Hydrosols, or floral waters, are a great, cost-effective way to enhance creams, soaps, or lotions! They offer a milder, more gentle alternative to highly concentrated essential oils that may aggrevate some people's allergies. - The balancing and moisturizing properties of sandalwood have been relied upon for centuries by practitioners of Ayurveda. Sandalwood Hydrosol offers the same woody, spicy, and exotic scent of its more concentrated essential oil counterpart. Compared with the essential oil, the aroma is not so overpowering and less concentrated. However, it still retains many of the same characteristics and topical benefits as the essential oil - at a reasonable price!
