Product description

Floral water, hydrosol, common sage in organic quality is a distinctive herbal, water-based cosmetic raw material obtained by steam distillation of the leaves and aerial parts of common sage, Salvia officinalis. During distillation, an aqueous phase is formed with a typical sage-like, herbal, slightly camphorous to spicy scent. The hydrosol is gentler than sage essential oil, yet it retains a pronounced herbal character, which is particularly suitable for cleansing, mattifying and hair care formulations.
Organic sage hydrosol is suitable for combination, oily, impure, problematic skin, for the scalp prone to oiliness and for deodorant-focused cosmetic products. It is used as the aqueous phase in toners, hair lotions, shampoos, cleansing gels, foot products, water-based deodorants and light emulsions.

FAQ

Is sage hydrosol suitable for an alcohol-free deodorant?

Yes, it can form the aqueous phase of a deodorant without ethyl alcohol. However, the effect depends on the entire formulation, pH, preservation and odour-absorbing substances.

Yes, it is suitable for shampoos and hair lotions for an oil-prone scalp, especially in combination with mild surfactants and suitable pH.

Is it suitable for dry skin?

It can be used in a lower proportion, but it is usually more suitable for oily, combination and impure skin. For dry skin, milder hydrosols are more appropriate.

Can it be combined with activated charcoal?
