It has a soft, sweet floral aroma and is commonly used as a calming facial mist, toner, or body spritz. This hydrosol is often chosen for sensitive-feel skin routines and after-sun comfort blends because it is water-based and easy to layer under creams and oils.

A: Yes, mist first, then seal with your moisturiser or facial oil.
Q: Why is there a preservative?
A: Hydrosols are water-based, and a preservative helps support stability during use.
For Your Safety
This natural product is for external use only. Please exercise caution and do not ingest or take internally. Store away from children, animals, sunlight and heat. If pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult with your medical care-giver before use.

Love using this hydrosol in creams.
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.
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.
