Discover the Elegance of Peony Hydrosol: A Gentle Floral Essence

What is Peony Hydrosol?

Peony Hydrosol, a delicate and aromatic floral water prized for its soothing and rejuvenating properties. Dive into the world of this exquisite hydrosol, learn about its benefits, and discover how it can enhance your skincare and wellness routines.

Distilled in small batches, using fresh spring water from our own well, we have separated the essential oil and fragrance from the original flowers, and used that as the basis for all our products. During this process we get several products, the main two of which are peony oil and peony hydrosol. Hydrosol is a floral water, with microscopic particles of essential oils captured within it - this is what gives it the scent. Hydrosol is most commonly used as a mild perfume, but also as an air freshener, facial toner, or even for aromatherapy. It has all the benefits of peony essential oil, but at a much lower concentration and with a subtler smell.

Key Benefits of Peony Hydrosol:

Soothing and Calming: Known for its soothing properties, peony hydrosol helps to calm irritated and sensitive skin. It reduces redness, inflammation, and discomfort, making it ideal for those with reactive skin types.

Hydrating and Refreshing: Peony hydrosol provides gentle hydration to the skin without feeling heavy or greasy. It revitalizes tired and dull-looking skin, leaving it refreshed and radiant.

Aromatherapeutic Benefits: The subtle floral scent of peony hydrosol offers an aromatherapeutic experience that uplifts the mood and promotes relaxation during skincare rituals or throughout the day.

How to Use Peony Hydrosol

Facial Toner: After cleansing, apply peony hydrosol to the face and neck using a cotton pad or spray directly onto the skin. Follow with your favorite serum and moisturizer.

Body Mist: Use peony hydrosol as a refreshing body mist by spraying it onto clean, dry skin to hydrate and lightly perfume your body.

Aromatherapy: Incorporate peony hydrosol into your aromatherapy practices by adding it to a diffuser or spray it around your living space to create a calming and uplifting atmosphere.

Hair Care: Use peony hydrosol as a natural hair mist to refresh and hydrate your hair, leaving it lightly scented and nourished.

Embrace the gentle efficacy of peony hydrosol and elevate your skincare routine with its soothing and hydrating properties. Indulge in the natural essence of peony, capturing its beauty and benefits in every drop. Experience the luxury of botanical skincare with peony hydrosol and enhance your daily self-care rituals.

Key Ingredients and Benefits

Peony Oil contains a variety of compounds that provide a range of healthcare benefits. First, it has been shown to be incredibly hydrating for skincare, as well as being able to reduce fine lines - for these reasons it is commonly used for face-creams and anti-aging products. Peony oil has antifungal, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties.

But that's not all! It has been found to reduce skin irritation and inflammation. It has anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and analgesic (pain relief) properties, and has been shown in some cases to reduce arthritic pain.

It has a documented soothing effect on mood, and due to this, it is used commonly in cosmetics, body lotions, and also aromatherapy. When vapours are inhaled (such as from an essential oil diffuser), it can help serotonin release, and reduce stress levels. Alternatively, we recommend wearing the hydrosol as a perfume - doing this will have all the same effects as inhaling the vapours, but it will have a slower release and longer duration.

The hydrosol has a small amount of peony oil in it, so these therapeutic effects, while mild, will be present. However, I think the main benefit is the scent - they all have floral and herbaceous base notes, with some varieties of peony lending a citrus-y, fruity scent, and others a spicy, peppery undertone.

You can use this spray as a perfume, air or linen freshener, a facial toner or face wash - this is particularly good for people with sensitive or oily skin.
