• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
• Patch test before first use and discontinue if irritation occurs.

• Discontinue use if the smell, colour, or clarity changes noticeably.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Q: What is the difference between a hydrosol and an essential oil?
A: A hydrosol is the aromatic water collected during steam distillation. It is water-based and much gentler than the concentrated essential oil.

Q: Can I use this instead of distilled water in a cream or toner formula?
A: Yes, it is commonly used as part of the water phase. For leave-on formulas, make sure your preservative system is appropriate for a water-based product.

Q: Does this contain alcohol or added fragrance?
A: It is a pure hydrosol with no added fragrance, and it is listed as preservative free.

Q: Why is my hydrosol scent lighter than tea tree essential oil?
A: Hydrosols naturally have a softer aroma because they contain only small amounts of the aromatic components compared to the essential oil.
