What does German chamomile hydrolate actually “carry”?

Hydrolates (i.e. distilled water) do not contain azulene or bisabolol – these are lipophilic compounds that remain in the essential oil.
The hydrolate mainly contains:
phenolic acids (e.g. chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid),
flavonoids in the form of glycosides,
traces of volatile alcohols and esters,
i.e. water-soluble substances that have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, but act more gently than oil.

Durability and safety
Shelf life: 24 months
Safety and warnings:
No known contraindications. Store in a cool place and away from light.

Hydrolates and essential oils – what is the difference?

Simply put, a hydrosol is water-based, while an essential oil is fatty. A hydrosol contains the plant's hydrophilic (water-loving) components, while an essential oil contains lipophilic (fat-loving) molecules.
The oil content in the hydrolate is trace, too small for the oil to separate or float to the surface (therefore, the hydrolate does not need to be shaken before use).

Aromatics International distills specifically for hydrosol, using longer distillation times, fresh plant material and copper stills, ensuring:

• higher concentration of active water-soluble compounds,
• better therapeutic properties,
• more stable scent.

Using a hydrolate alongside an oil provides a full spectrum of benefits – both the oil and water fractions of the plant.

Hydrosols are sourced from fresh, certified organic plants, steam-distilled in traditional copper stills. Each one is created intentionally – specifically for the hydrosol, not as a byproduct of essential oil distillation.

People with sensitive skin particularly appreciate their gentleness and soothing effect. Hydrosols are also safe for children and pets – although in aromatherapy for animals, we always allow them to choose whether they want to be exposed to the fragrance.
