Gorgeous SA product

Lovely hydrosol! I use it in skincare products as it helps to calm down an over reactive skin. It has a lovely fragrance that combines beautifully with complimenting essential oils.

Mild but fragrant

This is gentle and mild enough to add to creams and lotions especially if you have sensitive skin. It maintains a notable chamomile fragrance and calming effect. Will definitely purchase again.

Favourite Hydrosol

The Cape Chamomile hydrosol from Essentially Natural is probably my favourite hydrosol and not always readily available from other retailers. Essentially Natural does not disappoint when I need this for my products. And as usual, the turnaround time is excellent.

Minette S.

Can I use this in my diffuser with water?

Essentially Natural

Hi there Minette,

That would depend on the Dfiffuser, but generally - Yes :)

Hydrosols work well in water based diffusers, providing a gentle and calming aroma. But in oil based diffusers like Reed Diffusers or Nebulising Diffusers, prerrably not.

We hope that helps!

Kindest Regards,
Essentially Natural Support
