The Distillation Story—

Distilling Lavender began back in 2015 when we first opened. While our first & flagship distillation is Rosemary & Bay Laurel, our second is fresh Lavender distillate. These fresh purple blooms have always expressed their magnetism to be loved & admired by humans and bees, luring us all in with their honeyed scent, peace & generosity. We have been growing multiple varieties of Lavender for the last 10 years and are now up to about 20 plants in the family garden that we distill from.

The Hydrosol—

Physically: Remediates & diffuses excess heat from the body, soothing & alleviating sun/burns, rashes, breakouts & bites with cool, gentle mending. Lavender’s natural antimicrobial qualities support skin in staying calm, clean & clear.

Emotionally: Supports frazzled feelings with comfort & restorative rest. While many people know of Lavender’s magic as a sleep supporter, when we leaned into the why's, we allowed its honeyed blossoms to guide us into sweetness & earthy ease witnessing how it lightens the load & replenishes the spirit. Breathe deep & know peace.

Best Use: Mist your Hydrosol onto clean face or hands until saturated, and pat for ample hydration. For added moisture morning and night, follow by gently massaging a nourishing facial oil into the skin, and finish with another mist of your Hydrosol to lock in moisture. Your daily use restores the skin’s natural PH balance.

Ingredients: 100% steam distillation of fresh, organically grown Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) from our garden.

WHAT IS A HYDROSOL?

Hydrosols, also known as Distillates, are the subtle, and often aromatic waters resulting from slowly distilled plant material, and are some of nature's best antioxidants for the skin. Lovingly made using hand collected local spring water, combined with ethically wildcrafted and organically grown plant material, they are distilled in a traditional copper alembic still.

Alchemists from all over the world have performed transformational distillations in these traditional stills for over 3,000 years, and this artisan process still remains the same! The actual method of performing our distillations has a 5-7 hour duration, a much slower process compared to more commercialized modes of skin care production. What results, is a nutrient-rich, energetic, and authentic Hydrosol, containing the plant's own suspended micro particles of essential oil, plant acids, even a plant's specific essence and memory imprint. Each offers its own unique botanical remedy dependent on the plant distilled, thus leading to the reference that a Hydrosol is a hologram of the plant itself!

Hydrosols are incredibly gentle and well-suited for beings of all ages and sensitivities (including babies and pets alike). Wildcare Hydrosols are recommended as a daily facial toner, and play an important role in protecting and nourishing the skin from everyday pollutants. In addition to a being a supreme skin tonic, your Hydrosol may also be used as a holistic and energetic mist, scalp tonic, added to baths, and used in conjunction with our Clay Masks.

Store your Hydrosol in the refrigerator for extra-cooling skin relief and always in a cool, dark place, using within 1 year.
