"A Hydrosol is a plant medicine comprised of the "spirit" of a plant, also sometimes called aromatic or floral water. The alchemical process used to produce hydrosol is called steam/hydro distillation, utilizing a hand-pounded copper alembic still. The art of steam distillation dates back to 500 BC, when Persian alchemists created copper stills to distill beloved rose water, as well as other fine balms and perfumes. Copper has been prized as an optimum metal in the Alchemical tradition, due to its natural antimicrobial properties and incredible rate of heat conduction."
*Slow’s hydrosols are crafted in our small home-based apothecary through traditional copper steam and/or hydro distillation. Our hydrosols have a 12-month expiration date; however, this can be extended by storing your hydrosol in the fridge. This may change the scent profile slightly and we recommend storing in a cool, dark area away from direct sunlight for the first 12 months and then storing in the fridge for up to an additional 6-12 months. Exposure to air, light and heat will increase oxidation in plant waters and may change the PH, making them unsuitable for your skin. Please store properly to optimal efficacy and potency!
