• creams, facial milks and body emulsions as part of the water phase,

Use in formulation

• Recommended dosage: usually 1 – 100 % depending on product type; may form part or all of the water phase.
• Soluble in: water and aqueous cosmetic systems.
• Miscible with: distilled water, glycerin, propanediol, aloe vera juice, hydrogels and water-soluble active ingredients.
• Compatible with: oil-in-water emulsions, facial toners, gels, serums, gentle cleansing products, shampoos and rinse-off hair care.
• Emulsion products: incorporate into the water phase; for formulations that are heated, it is advisable to add part of the hydrosol only in the cooling phase in order to minimise unnecessary overheating of delicate aromatic components.
• It is recommended to add during the cooling phase (at temperatures below 40 °C).
• Leave-on products: particularly suitable for facial mists, toners, serums, gels and creams; the final pH and microbiological stability of the finished product must always be checked.
• Rinse-off products: may be used in shampoos, shower gels, foams and gentle cleansing products as part of the water phase.
• Formulation pH: always measure the final pH in the finished formulation and adjust it according to the preservative used, active ingredients and the target product type.

Safety and storage

• Intended for cosmetic use and for further processing in cosmetic formulations.
• For sensitive skin or first-time use, we recommend performing a tolerance test on a small area of skin.
• Avoid contamination of the contents – use clean tools, close the container immediately after use and do not pour back raw material that has already been taken out.
• Store in a well-closed container, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
• It is advisable to store in a cool, dry and dark place; hydrosols are aqueous raw materials sensitive to microbial contamination.
• When producing a finished cosmetic product, always verify the final pH, microbiological stability and suitability of the preservation system.
• For products intended for children, pregnant women or very sensitive skin, it is necessary to assess the suitability of the entire formulation, not only of the hydrosol itself.
