Rich in tannins (hamamelitannin, catechins), flavonoids (rutin) and terpenic compounds (alpha-terpineol, linalool).

this hydrosol offers astringent, soothing and circulatory properties, while remaining gentle for daily use in B2B formulation.

A TRULY FRENCH ORIGIN

Grown in France, the plants from our partner producers are distilled either in the Drôme Provençale (fixed distillery unit), or directly in the harvest field (mobile distillery unit), then packaged in
our warehouse in Isère.

Each batch is traced from the plot to the bottle, with analyses conducted by a French laboratory.

A LOCAL ALTERNATIVE

This locally grown plant can represent a relevant alternative to certain exotic hydrosols.

Despite their natural origin, these can have a significant environmental impact (deforestation, pressure on biodiversity, carbon-intensive transport).

Voici un exemple : 

Plant: Orange Blossom
Origin: Morocco
Comparison:

Orange blossom and Witch hazel share a soothing and tonic effect. Orange blossom is distinguished by its more pronounced hydrating and relaxing properties, while Witch hazel offers an astringency that promotes microcirculation.

Please note: Each essential oil and hydrosol has a unique identity, and the same plant can vary depending on its origin. The equivalences proposed here do not aim to fully replace exotic plants, but to explore complementary alternatives based on your needs.

This comparison is part of an approach to promote Made in France and Made in Europe products, while encouraging responsible use of oils sourced from fragile ecosystems such as Tea Tree or Ylang-Ylang.
