Experience the heart and breath of plants with our handcrafted Hydrosols — gentle floral waters born from steam distillation and the patient rhythm of traditional herb crafting.

These aromatic botanical waters are a by-product of essential oil distillation, created when steam passes through freshly harvested herbs, drawing out volatile plant constituents. As the steam cools and condenses, hydrosols are captured — carrying the true scent and subtle essence of the plant in every drop.

Because we work in small batches with herbs grown, foraged, or sustainably sourced close to home, our hydrosols reflect the character of the plant itself. There’s no rush and no shortcuts — just careful distillation that preserves aromatic nuance and herbal presence.

While essential oil yield is small — sometimes requiring hundreds of pounds of plant material for a single pound of oil — the hydrosol captures the aromatic spirit of the plant that remains after distillation. Some gentle traces of essential oil may remain naturally in the water, adding depth and aromatic richness to these floral waters without altering the purity of the hydrosol itself.

In this collection, you’ll find hydrosols that offer:

🌸 True botanical aroma — a delicate, flower-rich scent that reflects the living plant
🌱 Small-batch craft — distilled in limited lots for maximal botanical expression
🍃 Steam-distilled integrity — made by capturing what the plant offers when heated, cooled, and condensed
Subtle complexity — enriched by the faint presence of essential oil carried in the water

Whether you’re drawn to the soft floral notes of lavender hydrosol or the fresh green lift of herbaceous distillates, these botanical waters are a sensory tribute to the plants we cherish.

Crafted with patience. Captured with intention. Borne from steam and herb alike.
