Hydrosol, also called Agarwood Floral Water, is the aromatic water that remains after steam distillation of agarwood. Unlike essential oil, which is highly concentrated, hydrosol is gentler and carries the water-soluble compounds of agarwood resin and wood.
Key Features of Agarwood Hydrosol:
- Milder aroma – soft woody, slightly sweet, and calming.
- Water-based – safe for direct skin application.
- Contains micro-constituents – trace amounts of agarwood oil compounds + water-soluble bioactives.
- Sustainable by-product – produced alongside agarwood essential oil distillation.
Uses:
- Skincare & Cosmetics – natural toner, facial mist, and soothing spray.
- Aromatherapy – room spray, linen spray, meditation aid.
- Wellness & Spa – calming baths, steam inhalation, stress relief.
- Perfumery & Formulations – base for perfumes, lotions, and herbal blends.
- Traditional Medicine – used in some cultures for relaxation and mild therapeutic effects.
