Marjoram Floral Water (Hydrosol)

Marjoram Floral Water, also known as Marjoram Hydrosol. This delicate, aromatic liquid is a byproduct of the steam distillation process used to extract Marjoram essential oil from the flowering tops of the Origanum majorana plant. Unlike the potent essential oil, our Marjoram Hydrosol offers a gentle, water-based approach to harnessing the plant's therapeutic properties. It's a versatile, multi-purpose solution that can be seamlessly integrated into your daily wellness routine, from skincare and aromatherapy to culinary creations.

Marjoram Floral water (Hydrosol)

Origanum majorana, a member of the Lamiaceae (mint) family, is native to the Mediterranean region. Our Marjoram Hydrosol retains the water-soluble components of this herb, including trace amounts of its essential oil. Key constituents include monoterpenes like sabinene, terpinene, and linalool, which contribute to its calming and soothing aroma. The hydrosol's pH typically ranges from 4.5 to 5.5, making it mildly acidic and gentle on the skin. This acidity also contributes to its preservative properties, allowing for a longer shelf life compared to plain water. The steam distillation process ensures that the cellular water of the plant is captured, carrying with it the simple scent of Marjoram's aroma and therapeutic benefits.
