Unlocking the secrets of floral waters for skin beauty

Imagine a world where the purest form of water, distilled through a fascinating process, can be harnessed from the very essence of nature itself. This water not only possesses rejuvenating properties but also holds the key to unlocking the beauty secrets of your skin and hair. Well, that magical world exists, and it’s right here on our very own planet! Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of distilled water from fragrant and non-fragrant plants.

The journey begins with a process called distillation, which involves boiling water and collecting the steam in a clean container, leaving behind any impurities. This process produces distilled water that is loaded with volatile principles found in plants. Our story takes a turn here, as we delve into the two categories of distilled water: water distilled from odorless plants and water distilled from fragrant plants.

Enter the enchanting world of fragrant plants, where you’ll find rosemary, rose, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, lavender, chamomile, helichrysum, juniper berries, buds of fir, feather, sabine oregano, sage, and wild thyme. These captivating plants not only entice your senses with their delightful aromas but also provide numerous benefits to your skin and hair.

As we continue our journey, it’s important to note that fresh plants should be your travel companions, as they have a greater clarity and their aroma is always sweeter and more developed. Additionally, fresh plants keep longer than dry plants, so they make for more reliable allies on this adventure.
