Manuka Floral Hydrosol

Manuka Floral Hydrosol is a byproduct of steam distillation from the flowers and leaves of the Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium). Known for its strong antimicrobial properties, similar to Manuka essential oil, the hydrosol is a gentler, water-based alternative that can be applied directly to the skin without dilution. It’s highly valued for its medicinal and skincare benefits, making it a popular choice for sensitive skin and natural healing.

Precautions for Using Manuka Floral Hydrosol

1. Patch Test
   Before applying it to large areas of your skin, do a patch test. While hydrosols are typically gentle, individual reactions can still occur, especially if you have sensitive skin.
2. Allergies
   If you have allergies to other members of the myrtle family or experience reactions to honey or bee-related products, consult with a healthcare professional before using Manuka Hydrosol.
3. Pregnancy and Nursing
   Though hydrosols are gentler than essential oils, it’s still advisable to consult a doctor before using them during pregnancy or while breastfeeding to avoid any adverse reactions.
4. Storage
   Hydrosols can be sensitive to light and heat, so it’s essential to store them in a cool, dark place, preferably in a glass container. Refrigeration can help extend the shelf life, typically lasting up to one year when stored properly.
5. Avoid Contact with Eyes
   While Manuka Hydrosol is mild, avoid direct contact with the eyes as it could cause irritation.
6. Avoid Ingestion
   Manuka Hydrosol is generally intended for external use, and ingestion may lead to digestive upset or other adverse effects unless specifically labeled as food-grade.

   After cleansing your face, spritz the hydrosol directly onto the skin or apply it with a cotton pad. It helps tighten pores and balance the skin’s natural oils.

   Spray or gently dab Manuka Hydrosol onto cuts, scrapes, burns, or insect bites to disinfect and promote healing.
3. As a Mist

4. In Hair Care
   Use as a scalp treatment by spraying it directly onto the scalp to soothe irritation or add it to your regular hair care routine to maintain a healthy scalp and shiny hair.
5. In Baths
   Add a cup of Manuka Hydrosol to your bath for a relaxing, skin-soothing soak that aids in healing inflamed or irritated skin.
