ORGANIC CALENDULA BLOSSOM HYDROSOL - NEW!

This is such a refreshing and lovely flower hydrosol, expertly distilled from certified organic Calendula officinalis marigold blossoms! Calendula is a beloved and classic botanical for skin care, with a centuries-long history of use for a wide variety of skin concerns, irritations, discomforts, and acute skin issues. And here's what makes this hydrosol truly special ~ calendula produces virtually no essential oil during distillation, which means this flower water is the most complete and authentic expression of the plant's water-soluble botanical chemistry. You simply can't get this from a calendula oil or extract. This hydrosol is so versatile and has so many benefits! It can double as a skin toner as well as a multi-use botanical mist, useful for all skin types and a myriad of skin needs. Calendula hydrosol naturally contains calming, soothing, rejuvenating, regenerative, balancing, cleansing, nourishing, purifying, and skin-toning properties. Calendula blossoms are naturally rich in flavonoids and polysaccharides ~ plant compounds known for their antioxidant properties and their ability to hydrate and support the skin's moisture barrier. This makes calendula hydrosol a particularly beautiful choice for anyone dealing with a compromised, weakened, or sensitized skin barrier ~ including those with dry, reactive, or mature skin going through hormonal shifts like perimenopause or menopause, when the skin's barrier function naturally becomes more vulnerable. So if you're experiencing skin that feels tight, easily irritated, reactive to products it once tolerated, or just plain thirsty for hydration ~ this hydrosol may be exactly what your skin is asking for. It is very beneficial for all skin types, especially those with delicate, sensitive, irritated, damaged, barrier-compromised, mature, dry, or acne-prone skin. It can also safely be used by those of all ages, including babies and children. Why skin barrier support matters: The skin barrier is your skin's first line of defense ~ it locks in moisture and keeps environmental stressors out. When it's weakened (by age, hormonal changes, harsh products, weather, or stress), skin becomes dry, tight, reactive, and prone to sensitivity. Calendula hydrosol works beautifully as a daily barrier-supporting mist because its water-soluble flavonoids and polysaccharides help replenish and comfort the skin at a cellular level, while its natural antioxidants help protect against the environmental stressors that deplete barrier function in the first place. Misting regularly also helps regulate skin's pH, which is essential for a healthy, resilient barrier. The scent is light and delicate, with a refreshing aroma that is mildly sweet and floral. Fresh calendula flowers naturally have a light and distinct aroma, which carries beautifully through in this flower water. This amazing hydrosol is preservative-free, distilled at low temperatures, completely natural, pure, and undiluted, with no additives. Available sizes: 2 oz frosted clear glass bottle or 4 oz amber glass bottle (both sizes come with a mister top). Ingredients: Certified organic Calendula Flower Hydrosol distilled from Calendula officinalis marigold blossoms (pure and preservative-free). Distilled in and imported from France. Please note: If you prefer strongly scented products, then this hydrosol may not be for you. But if you like gentle, delicate, and light scents, then this hydrosol is lovely! How to use: First, wash and dry your face with water or a gentle facial wash. Mist with 1~3 spritzes of hydrosol. If you'd like, you can gently rub the hydrosol into your face. Allow to air dry or gently pat dry with a soft washcloth. Finish by applying a facial serum or moisturizer. Use twice per day (morning and night). For best results for barrier repair, layer this hydrosol underneath your favorite facial serum while your skin is still slightly damp ~ this helps seal in hydration and gives the active botanicals the best chance to absorb. This hydrosol can also be applied as an aftershave, added to bath water, and misted onto minor skin irritations and discomforts as needed. Psst ~ this pairs beautifully with our Bakuchiol Botanical Facial Serum for a complete barrier-supporting, age-defying ritual. To extend the shelf life, store in a dry, cool, and dark area.
