Our Orange Flower Hydrolat is sourced from Tunisia, the world’s leading producer. It is distilled from the exquisitely fragrant, fleshy white blossom of the Bitter Orange tree, which grows in abundance in the verdant Cap Bon region – a peninsular in the far north-east of Tunisia that is famed for its citrus trees and flower essences. The fragrant blossom is harvested by hand in Spring, very early in the morning, when the flower’s scent is at its most concentrated. The flowers are then processed the same day to ensure the highest quality product.

Our Tunisian Orange Flower Hydrolat has a pronounced floral aroma with herbaceous, fruity notes. It is slightly sweeter than our previous supply which came from the Lebanon. 

Orange Flower Hydrolat (also known as Neroli Hydrolat or Hydrosol) is commonly used for skincare as it has a naturally hydrating and regenerating effect on the skin. It can help to calm and settle the skin and promote a clearer, more youthful complexion. Its soothing effects can also be helpful for stress, anxiety and other emotional problems.

Origin

This delicate, fragrant flower has a long history of use, dating back to the ancient Egyptians, who used it to heal mind, body and spirit.

Skin

Orange Flower Hydrolat is ideal for use as a natural skin toner. It has a mild astringent action which is useful for combination, oily and acne prone skin. It can also be beneficial for mature or prematurely aged skin as it helps to promote the regeneration of healthy new skin cells.

For use as a skin toner, apply with a cotton pad after cleansing, or spritz onto the skin, taking care to avoid the eyes.

Mind & Body

Orange Flower Hydrolat has a relaxing influence on the mind and body, helping to calm, soothe and lift the spirits. Try using it as a soothing face, body or room spray to relieve stress and anxiety at times of need. It may also be beneficial in a night-time bath to aid a restful night's sleep.
