Take a look below at the examples of those that are widespread in skincare!

The refreshing scent, astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activity of rosemary hydrosol makes it an excellent choice for oily and acne-prone skin. It can help tone the skin, manage acne, reduce the skin damage caused by UV radiation, and reinvigorate the mind.
Known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-ageing and calming effect, rose hydrosol is often used in skincare products to balance skin tone, hydrate, reduce redness and protect the skin from premature ageing.
