Lemon Verbena (Aloysia citrodora) hydrolat is one of the most luminous and versatile aromatic waters in aromatherapy — bright, citrusy, and delicately floral, with a remarkably broad action across skin, scalp, digestion, and emotional wellbeing.

🍋 Purifying & toning — astringent and sebum-regulating; tightens pores, refines skin texture, and controls excess shine; an effective daily toner, facial mist, or makeup remover prep for oily, combination, and congested skin.

✨ Brightening & anti-blemish — antibacterial and antiseptic; gently clarifies dull complexions, reduces blemishes and post-acne marks, and soothes redness and after-epilation irritation.

🌿 Uplifting & mentally energizing — bright and awakening; boosts mood, concentration, and mental clarity; combats mental fatigue and restores a positive attitude when misted into the air or applied to pulse points.

🌸 Calming & antispasmodic — gently relaxing; supports serenity, emotional balance, and digestive comfort; aids respiratory ease when used in inhalation or diluted in a bath.

🍽️ Food-grade & culinary — fully food-safe; adds a delicate lemony-floral note to herbal teas, desserts, syrups, and dressings.

👥 Target Group

Adults · Teenagers (13+) · Children aged 3 and over

⚠️ Children aged 3 and over may use this hydrolat under adult supervision only. Not recommended for children under 3 years without prior advice from a healthcare professional, as Lemon Verbena hydrolat contains citral, a known sensitizer that requires extra caution on young skin. Suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding when used externally and at normal cosmetic dilutions — consult a healthcare professional if in doubt.

💡 Usage Recommendations

Facial mist / toner — Spray directly onto cleansed skin or apply with a cotton pad as a toning and purifying step. Particularly effective for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin. Use morning and evening after cleansing.

Skin application — Apply directly to the skin as a soothing, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory lotion. Ideal after epilation, shaving, or cleansing to calm redness and tighten pores.

Massage — Use as a hydrating base for massage blends or dilute essential oils directly into the hydrolat (with a solubiliser) for a light, refreshing body massage.

Bath — Add 100–200 ml to a warm bath for a relaxing, uplifting, and skin-softening soak. No dispersant required for hydrolats.

Inhalation — Add a few tablespoons to a bowl of hot water, lean over with a towel, and inhale for 5–10 minutes to support respiratory comfort and mental clarity. Alternatively, spray lightly around the face and breathe in gently.

Spray — Use as a room or linen spray to purify the air, refresh the atmosphere, and create an uplifting, citrusy ambiance in any space.

Capillary — Use as a final scalp and hair rinse after shampooing to rebalance oily roots, stimulate the scalp, and add shine. Spray directly onto the scalp and leave in, or use as a dilution base for hair masks.

Cosmetic ingredient — Replace water with Lemon Verbena hydrolat in the aqueous phase of creams, serums, toners, masks, and hair care formulations to add active aromatic and skin-beneficial properties.

Food — This hydrolat is food-grade and can be used to flavour herbal teas, infusions, desserts, syrups, and cocktails. Add 1–2 teaspoons per cup or to taste. Ensure the product is labelled food-grade before internal use.

✨ Rosemary hydrolate, in detail

🌿 Rosemary, at the heart of the Mediterranean landscapes of Southern France

Naturally present in scrublands and dry, sunny areas, it grows in poor soils, often swept by the wind and exposed to high temperatures.

Its name comes from the Latin ros marinus, meaning "dew of the sea," in reference to its proximity to the Mediterranean coast.

Formerly present in all medieval gardens, rosemary is an ingredient that was used in the creation of the famous Queen of Hungary Water, which was attributed with longevity powers.

Known since antiquity, it already held an important place in Greek and Roman traditions, where it was associated with daily gestures and aromatic uses. Widely used in cooking, it flavors stews, meats, and vegetables, bringing intense, slightly resinous, and characteristic notes.

• Organic and pure floral waters without preservatives and alcohol like this are very fresh and delicate.
• Keep tightly closed and out of the reach of children.
