Use in formulations

• Recommended usage level: usually 1 – 100 % depending on the type of product; it can form part of or the entire aqueous 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, mild cleansing products, shampoos and rinse‑off hair care.
• Emulsion products: incorporate into the aqueous phase; for formulations that are heated, it is advisable to add part of the hydrosol only during the cooling phase to minimize unnecessary overheating of delicate aromatic components.
• It is recommended to add during cooling (at a temperature below 40 °C).
• Leave‑on products: particularly suitable for facial mists, toners, serums, gels and creams; it is always necessary to check the final pH and microbiological stability of the finished product.
• Rinse‑off products: can be used in shampoos, shower gels, foams and gentle cleansing products as part of the aqueous phase.
• Formulation pH: always measure the final pH in the finished formulation and adjust according to the preservative used, the 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 patch test on a small area of skin.
• Avoid contamination of the contents – use clean tools, close the packaging 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.
• Storage in a cool, dry and dark place is appropriate; hydrosols are aqueous raw materials sensitive to microbial contamination.
• When manufacturing the finished cosmetic product, always verify the final pH, microbiological stability and suitability of the preservative 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.
