ALL ABOUT IT
Hydrosols are the heartbeat of our line and, if you are not counting the goats, our farm. This product is 100% from our farm. The ancient act of planting a seed, caring for a plant, waiting for the perfect time to harvest and then immediately distilling it is a gift to the farmer, the distiller, and the person who receives the final product. 
Our copper distilled hydrosols are made in micro batches with the utmost attention to purity. Small batch distillation is an art as well as a science. It allows the distiller to have complete control of the quality and the authenticity of the plant being distilled. 
In our line this product serves as an optimizer, weaving together every step of your skincare routine. After cleansing, it works to restore your pH. It serves as a gentle toner. Mixed with serums and moisturizers, it speeds absorption while carrying their nutrients deeper into your skin. On its own it works to hydrate the skin. We see it as an essential component of a microbiome friendly skincare routine. 
For your body, use it on itchy skin. Use it in conjunction with our restoration salve for a powerful plant powered first aid. 
Holy basil hydrosol has a beautiful way of uplifting and comforting you. Holy basil is also called Tulsi which means “the incomparable one”. This wonderful adaptogenic herb has strengthening actions on the body and mind and it's said to give us confidence when it is lacking. 
 
SCIENCE BEHIND IT 
The art of distillation allows us to extract properties, specifically water based properties, from plants that other extraction methods are unable to. Hydrosol is literally the cellular water of the plant and it allows us to directly apply this deep plant goodness to our face and, because it is water based, our skin soaks it up easily. 
Holy basil hydrosol has the ability to balance our skin’s pH and it can act as a gentle toner, brightener, and refresher.
The vitamins, minerals, and other properties extracted in holy basil hydrosol help to provide anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Because of these wonderful properties, your skin will look and feel more supple and hydrated, your skin tone will be more even, and you will feel so refreshed. 
We recommend adding holy basil hydrosol to your skincare routine as hydrosol helps aid in the absorption of both nutrients and hydration, making it an excellent pair to products like our facial cream concentrate and facial oils.
