Lavender Floral Water

What is Lavender Floral Water?

Young Living Lavender Floral Water, also known as a hydrosol, is the natural co-product obtained during the steam distillation of lavender flowers (Lavandula angustifolia). This carefully controlled process extracts the water-soluble properties of the plant, resulting in an aromatic and mild liquid filled with the delicate components of lavender. Unlike essential oil, floral water is much more diluted and, therefore, generally gentler, making it suitable for direct and frequent application to the skin. Its composition is mostly water, but enriched with traces of essential oil and other botanical compounds that give it its distinctive qualities.

Traditionally, hydrosols have been valued for their balancing properties, and Lavender Floral Water, in particular, is appreciated for its light and floral aromatic profile, which evokes feelings of calm and well-being. It represents a subtle and elegant way to incorporate the benefits of lavender into your personal care ritual, bringing a touch of nature and serenity to your routine.

Key Ingredients

• Distilled Water: The pure base that serves as a vehicle for the water-soluble components of lavender.


• Lavender Hydrosol (Lavandula angustifolia): The main component, obtained by steam distillation of lavender flowers, providing its calming and aromatic properties.


• Lavender Essential Oil (Lavandula angustifolia) (traces): Present in minimal amounts, it contributes to the aroma and some of the general botanical properties of lavender.


• Other water-soluble botanical compounds from lavender: These include esters and alcohols that are transferred during the distillation process, contributing to the sensory profile and properties of the hydrosol.

The purity of a quality hydrosol like Young Living's lies in its simplicity and the botanical origin of its ingredients, ensuring a delicate and beneficial product for the skin and senses.

The versatility of Lavender Floral Water makes it suitable for a wide range of skin types and specific application moments. Its gentle nature allows for easy integration into the daily routine.

How to apply:

1. As a facial toner: After cleansing your skin, spray directly onto the face and neck, or apply with a soft cotton pad. Allow it to absorb before applying your usual serum or moisturizer.


2. Refreshing and soothing mist: Hold the bottle about 20-30 cm from your face and spray a fine mist. Close your eyes and mouth before spraying. You can use it at any time of day for an instant feeling of freshness.


3. For nighttime well-being: Lightly spray on your pillow or bedding before going to bed to help create a tranquil atmosphere.


4. For the body: After showering or bathing, spray on slightly damp skin for a feeling of softness and a delicate scent.

Skin type:

Lavender Floral Water is generally well-tolerated by most skin types:

• Normal to combination skin: Helps maintain natural balance, providing hydration and freshness without greasiness.


• Delicate or sensitive skin: Its gentle nature makes it an ideal option, helping to provide a feeling of relief and comfort.


• Oily skin: It may contribute to improving skin appearance without feeling heavy and offer a more balanced sensation.


• Mature skin: Provides light hydration and a revitalized appearance.

As with any new product, it is recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of the skin before extended use, especially if you have a particular skin condition.

Storage and Preservation Tips

To preserve the integrity and freshness of your Lavender Floral Water, it is crucial to follow some storage guidelines. As a natural and delicate product, its shelf life and efficacy can be affected by environmental factors. Proper preservation ensures that it maintains its aromatic and beneficial properties for longer.

• Cool, dark place: Direct sunlight and high temperatures can degrade the volatile components of the hydrosol. Store it in a dark cabinet or drawer, away from sources of heat.


• Avoid sudden temperature changes: Extreme variations can affect product stability. Keep the container in an environment with a constant temperature.


• Refrigeration (optional): While not strictly necessary, storing floral water in the refrigerator can extend its freshness, especially in warm climates. Additionally, a cold hydrosol offers an even more refreshing experience when applied to the skin.


• Seal the container well: Make sure the spray nozzle or lid is tightly closed after each use to prevent evaporation of aromatic components and possible external contamination.


• Expiration date: Pay attention to the expiration date indicated on the packaging and its PAO (Period After Opening), which is usually represented by an open jar symbol with a number and the letter 'M' (e.g., 6M for 6 months).

By following these recommendations, you can enjoy the quality and benefits of your Young Living Lavender Floral Water for many months.
