The Lemon Balm Hydrosol offers a floral water with a delicately lemony fragrance. Renowned for its calming, antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, Thanks to its richness in terpenic aldehydes and geranic acid providing optimal bioavailability of hydrophilic compounds.

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: Ylang ylang
Origin: Comoros
Comparison: ylang ylang acts as a neurotonique and mild aphrodisiac, lemon balm favors mental relaxation and reduction of spasms.

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.

Cette comparaison s’inscrit dans une démarche de valorisation du Made in France, tout en encourageant une utilisation responsable des huiles issues d’écosystèmes fragiles comme le Tea Tree ou l’Ylang-Ylang.
