In this guide, find out how best to use this hydrosol with its cooling, anti-infectious and digestive properties. A complete ally to adopt every day.
What is the origin and composition of peppermint hydrosol?
Organicpeppermint hydrosol is obtained by steam distillation of the fresh aerial parts of the Mentha piperita plant, a member of the Lamiaceae family. This age-old process, which respects plant matter, extracts thefloral water containing the plant’s lightest aromatic molecules, while separating the more concentrated essential oil.
Native to the temperate regions of Europe, peppermint is now cultivated in many countries, including France, Bulgaria, India and the United States, for its cooling, toning and digestive properties. Boèmia selects top-quality leaves, sometimes combined with stems, from organic farming, to guarantee a pure hydrolate, with no preservatives or additives.
Less concentrated than essential oils, hydrolates are gentler, better tolerated by sensitive skin, and easy to use every day: in cosmetics, digestive care, or as a spray for an express ice-cube effect. Our artisanal, sustainable methods ensure impeccable quality, faithful to the soul of the plant and to Boèmia’s commitments.
