I distill my hydrosols!

Beauty, Sports and Peace of Mind

Hydrosols: Natural Allies for the Whole Family Neither a medication nor an industrial cosmetic, hydrosols are aromatic waters obtained by steam distillation of fresh or dried plants. They concentrate the water-soluble active ingredients of the plant – its aromas, soothing, regenerating, or digestive properties – in a gentle, ready-to-use form. They are used in cooking to flavor and enhance recipes, in skincare as a tonic or moisturizing mist, and in wellness for their calming effects on the body and mind. Unlike essential oils, they require no dilution and are suitable for the vast majority of people, including those with sensitive skin, the elderly, young children, and often pregnant women for the mildest varieties. In a single session, you will discover plant distillation through its three major applications: culinary, cosmetic, and wellness. Three copper alembics operate simultaneously throughout the session. You actively participate in every step – the preparation of plants, setting in water, rising in temperature, monitoring distillation, collection, and bottling – guided step by step by Inès, master distiller. The trainer provides the equipment, and a cash reimbursement of 25 euros will be requested on the same day.
