Lavender Hydrosol

Our lavender hydrosol is steam distilled in small batches from the lavender field at Within You Farm. Hydrosol separates naturally from essential oil during the distillation process, so they share many qualities and benefits. Hydrosol is an aromatic floral water that smells like essential oil but is softer, more subtle, and less concentrated. It can be used on the skin as a facial toner or soothing mist, an all-purpose natural cleaner, or as an aromatic spray. Learn more about hydrosol and explore its many uses.

What are the differences between the French and English blends?

Hydrosol can differ depending on the cultivar or variety of lavender that it is distilled from. There are many types of lavender, similar to how there are many types of wine, and we grow several cultivars of "English" and "French" lavender here at Within You Farm. The difference between our English blend and French blend is subtle but noticeable. In terms of smell, English tends to be lighter, almost sweet, while French tends to be darker and slightly woodier.
