Cinnamom Hydrosol

Product Description

Cinnamon hydrosol is a fragrant byproduct obtained during the steam distillation process of cinnamon bark or cinnamon leaves. While cinnamon essential oil is the concentrated oil extracted from the same plant, hydrosols are the water-based solutions that remain after the distillation process.

Cinnamon hydrosol has a milder scent compared to its essential oil counterpart and retains some of the therapeutic properties of cinnamon, such as its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects. It is often used in aromatherapy and skincare products.

Here are some uses of cinnamon hydrosol:

1. Skincare: It can be used as a toner or face mist to promote healthy skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce acne or skin irritation.

2. Aromatherapy: Cinnamon hydrosol can be used in diffusers to create a warm, comforting atmosphere. Its spicy aroma can help promote relaxation and reduce stress.

3. Antibacterial: Like cinnamon essential oil, hydrosol may help cleanse the air and surfaces, with its antibacterial properties making it useful for cleaning.

4. Hair Care: It may be used as a hair rinse or added to shampoos to promote healthy, shiny hair.

Cinnamon hydrosol should be used cautiously, especially for those with sensitive skin or allergies, as cinnamon can be potent. Always patch-test before using it extensively on the skin.
