Excellent methods! I usually see people making hydrosols at home putting the plant material right in the water and simmering it. Also I have seen information that the hydrosols last 1 year in the refrigerator but you must watch for mold. The thing is the mold forms before you can see it. Anyway, thanks for the great info!
Yes certainly! For Any diy’s we need to be very careful about the mold,fungi,etc. don’t store it more than 10 days. Even by this Method there are a certain amount of water particles remain in the hydro sold which attracts mold. And Thank you so much for the appreciation. 😊🙏
The self life of your hydrosol in room temperature is said to be 3 or 4 days but using it in commercial beauty product will not reduce the self life of the product.pls answer. I have found hydrosol online to be very expensive
I find this information very useful as a soap maker, thank you. please let me know, by infusing the plant material in oil or making herbal tea, would it make the solutions as beneficial as hydrosols?
What is the difference between the hydrosol and steam infused herbal water which you collected separately ? And how the steam infused herbal water can be used at home and can they be used to make face creams and toners , shampoos etc ???
Steam infused herbal water and hydrosol are same. What you are talking about is infused water or infusions. They have very short life span as compared to hydrosol so make sure you use a broad spectrum preservatives to secure your products. Yes you can use it in making my all the cosmetics just make sure to store those products either in the refrigerator or secure them with a preservative. With hydrosol we don’t have to worry much. (*as compared to the infused water or infusion)
As we are using these home utensils there are less chances of getting essential oils. Sometimes you can spot a few drops or a thin layer of oil in these hydrosols. If it is derived from the professional distillation equipment then we can derive proper essential oil. If you wish you can try to extract these tiny droplets through a dropper and keep it in another container and let it sit for sometime. And again repeat the same method until the oil part remains.
You can use both similarly in every beauty product. The only difference is hydrosol when added to any cosmetics or used alone can last longer than the infused waters. Plus hydrosol is a pure and potent. And contains more essence of any herb or flowers than the infused waters. ☺️
Can you suggest some brands which sell pure hydrosols in india(if possible). Hydrosol are very helpful skincare product but i'm concerned if these are pure or not
Lisa Deb Barma Hi Lisa! ☺️ Even I had the same dilemma regarding both essential oils and hydrosols. I had tried many brands available on amazon. But then I found out a nearby local manufacturer and seller and started purchasing from them. Hydrosols I prefer to make my own or buy from this local seller. You can check once. Or you write me a msg on my Instagram page and I would try to send you your desired product from my local manufacturer. 👍🏻
To preserve hydrosol you wouldn't require preservatives much like the infused waters. Still if you want you can try. I have not tried it so can't suggest you the same.😊
I would recommend you to do a trial of making and preserving the hydrosol using any of the below mentioned preservatives first. Preservative options: 1. Optiphen 2. Optiphen Plus 3. Optiphen ND 4. Phenonip 5. DMDMh 6. Germaben II 7. Germaben II IE
Very nice method. Few doubts 1. Can I make it with rosemary? And should we need to refrigerate these? What's the shelf life for these hydrosols? Are hydrosols & toners are same?
Yes you can make with Rosemary too. ☺️👍🏻 Infect you can make hydrosols out of all the dry herbs, flowers, steams, roots and leaves. You need to refrigerate them as water based herbal products are susceptible to bacterial growth. No, hydrosols are pure distilled products while toners generally contains hydrosol as one of the contents.
Hello @optfotorhanic I tried making nishigandha hydrosol using method 2. Just one change.. i kept it going for 1hour. But why does the hydrosol smell like actual cooked nishigandha flowers rather than beautiful nishigandha flowers
Oh yes! ☺️👍🏻 In that case soak the Vetiver roots in the water directly! Place a stand to lift the bowl in which you want your hydrosol to get collected. And you need to keep it a little longer than the leaves or flowers. ☺️👍🏻
@@OPTFORORGANIC how to make rose hydrosol? Can we directly soak rose petals in water and place a bowl above their height for the hydrosol to get collected?
Hey! They are not essential oils. They are hydrosols. :) And yeah you can use them the way we use rose water. I use them as toner or add them in my face packs. :) Unlike essential oils, hydrosols are very mild so it is not necessary to dilute them.
Keerthana Elaine Mathai I know the methods but making essential oils requires few specialised equipments which are not easily available. Even I want to try making my own essential oils. In future will try that for sure!☺️👍🏻 And about the uses of essential oils I will definitely share videos as they are my favourites.
Can you launch your own cosmetic product line... Literally all indian cosmetics are making fool of customers.....there is big market demand as people are becoming more aware day by day.... Anyway nice video keep going on.
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Appreciate it. It was only after falling prey to so called natural products, I started making my own for personal use. As you rightly said, there is too much of adulteration in the market and that do concerns me. Though not all are corrupted , the industry is not as transparent as it should be. And thus I like to keep things natural as much as possible myself, if not 100%. :)
love the artwork diagrams

Just a silly question.. didn't the top container collect both essential oil and hydrosol..how did you separate them?

Hello @optfotorhanic
I tried making nishigandha hydrosol using method 2. Just one change.. i kept it going for 1hour. But why does the hydrosol smell like actual cooked nishigandha flowers rather than beautiful nishigandha flowers
Hi,
Probably because of the cooking time. 🤔
Try max for half an hour for soft materials such as flowers or leaves.
Can we make vetiver hydrosol with dried vetiver roots..??
Oh yes! ☺️👍🏻 In that case soak the Vetiver roots in the water directly! Place a stand to lift the bowl in which you want your hydrosol to get collected. And you need to keep it a little longer than the leaves or flowers. ☺️👍🏻
