Lemon Verbena Hydrosol (CANADA)

Lemon Verbena Hydrosol works great in aromatherapy and in cosmetics. The essence of the herb is generally used to add a lemony scent in colognes, perfumes and soaps. It also aid in healing skin disorders such as acne, boils, and cysts. It may even assist with in relieving puffiness and softening the skin. Hydrosols are also called Floral Water and this name pretty much explains it. Lemon Verbena Hydrosol is a fragrant and refreshing floral water distilled from the leaves of the lemon verbena plant (Aloysia citrodora). It is prized for its antioxidant, antibacterial, and soothing properties, making it a versatile natural remedy for skincare, aromatherapy, and household use.
