LAVANDULA HYBRIDA FLOWER WATER

Description

Lavandula Hybrida Flower Water, derived from the lavandin plant, is a versatile hydrosol with numerous benefits for both skincare and haircare applications. This gentle, aromatic water is obtained through the steam distillation of lavandin flowers, a hybrid of true lavender and spike lavender. It possesses a milder scent compared to pure lavender essential oil while retaining many of its beneficial properties.

In skincare formulations, Lavandula Hybrida Flower Water acts as a natural toner and skin-conditioning agent. It helps balance the skin's pH, soothes irritation, and provides mild astringent properties. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial characteristics make it particularly useful for acne-prone and sensitive skin types. The hydrosol can also help reduce redness and calm skin reactions.

For haircare, this ingredient offers scalp-soothing benefits and can help control excess oil production. It may contribute to a healthier scalp environment, potentially supporting hair growth and reducing dandruff. The light, natural fragrance of lavandin can also impart a pleasant scent to hair products without the need for synthetic fragrances.
