If you've visited Cherry Hill Lavender Farm, you may have noticed bottles of Lavender Hydrosol in our shop and wondered, "What exactly is hydrosol?"

You're not alone! While many people are familiar with lavender essential oil, hydrosol is one of the most versatile—and often overlooked—products that comes from the lavender distillation process.

Let's explore what makes this gentle botanical mist so special.

What Is Lavender Hydrosol?

Every bottle begins with fresh lavender harvested from the fields.

Lavender hydrosol is the fragrant floral water created during the steam distillation of fresh lavender. As steam passes through the lavender blossoms, it captures the plant's natural aromatic compounds.

When the steam cools, it separates into two products:

Lavender Essential Oil – the concentrated oil that floats to the top
Lavender Hydrosol – the beautifully scented botanical water that remains below

Hydrosol contains many of lavender's natural properties in a much gentler form, making it perfect for everyday use.

Why People Love Lavender Hydrosol

One of the best things about hydrosol is its versatility.

Its light, fresh lavender scent makes it a wonderful addition to your home, garden, and daily routine.

Some of our favorite uses include:

🌿 Freshening linens and bedding

🌿 Spraying towels before guests arrive

🌿 Refreshing laundry between washes

🌿 Using as a gentle facial toner

🌿 Cooling down after gardening or spending time outdoors

🌿 Spritzing yoga mats or meditation spaces

🌿 Freshening shoes, gym bags, or pet bedding

🌿 Enjoying the calming aroma throughout your home

A Natural Companion for Outdoor Adventures

Many of our customers enjoy taking hydrosol with them while gardening, hiking, or spending time outside.

Its refreshing scent makes it a wonderful companion for outdoor activities, and many people appreciate having a natural botanical mist on hand during the warmer months.

Some horse owners also use lavender hydrosol around their barns and stables as part of their regular grooming routine.

What Makes Cherry Hill's Hydrosol Special?
