Product Description
Peppermint hydrosol is the aromatic water co-produced during steam distillation. Unlike essential oil, hydrosol is water-soluble and contains trace amounts of volatile compounds suspended in the distillate water. This gentle, water-based aromatic carries subtle mint character ideal for light cosmetic applications, facial mists, and formulations where delicate freshness is desired without oil-based ingredients or intense menthol sensation.
