Concentration

To make 1 litre of hydrosol, you need 1 kilo of twigs, known as the 1:1 ratio. This minimum extraction ratio, which is something we strictly follow at Aroma-Zone, guarantees an intense fragrance, better conservation and, above all, a high concentration of aromatic molecules in the hydrosol, a proof of its quality.

Hydrosols are sensitive to pollution. As our Aroma-Zone hydrosols are fresh, pure products with no preservatives, we strongly recommend storing them in the refrigerator and using them within six months of opening. When using them, always ensure your hands are clean and that all utensils and bottles that come into contact with the hydrosols are disinfected when preparing your homemade cosmetics. If you notice any change in appearance or smell, stop using the hydrosol immediately.
