Blue Lotus Water Body Mist (Lotus Hydrosol)
This Blue Lotus water body mist contains 100% natural Blue Lotus hydrosol. Blue Lotus hydrosol or hydrolate is the therapeutic and aromatic water that remains after steam-distillation of Blue Lotus flowers. The process of distillation of Blue Lotus produces two products, each with specific therapeutic benefits; the Blue Lotus essential oil (not to be confused with the Blue Lotus absolute), and the Lotus hydrosol or Lotus Distilled Water. Essential oils contain the active constituents that dissolve in oil. Hydrosols contain active constituents from the plant that dissolve in water (hydrophilic compounds) and a small amount of essential oil (>1%).

Why Choose our Lotus Water?
Our hydrosols are steam distlilled using a traditional, slower distillation process. This method creates a product that is about five times more concentrated than regular hydrosols. You can further dilute them at a 5:1 ratio with water.
Because of their high concentration and low pH, preservatives are unnecessary unless further diluted. If diluted, adding a preservative can extend the shelf life to 1–2 years.
