This fragrant lavender water or ‘hydrosol’ is made from certified organic lavender and distilled water, and is produced during the essential oil distilling process. Hydrosol is actually the condensed steam that lifted the essential oil from the lavender flowers within the distiller. Packaged in a 4-ounce blue glass bottle with a fine-mist spray top, this bottle fits easily into purses and is ideal for traveling.
