Melissa Hydrosol, 50 ml

A gentle botanical water that brings calming freshness to daily skincare

Melissa hydrosol is produced through steam distillation of fresh lemon balm foliage, a process that leaves the resulting water infused with light, water-soluble plant compounds responsible for its soft aroma and skin-friendly qualities. The compact 50 ml size makes this hydrosol a practical choice for home-based formulators, small trial batches, and anyone testing a new recipe before committing to larger volumes. This product belongs to the broader category of Hydrosols and Floral Waters, which brings together plant waters suited to different skin types and formulation goals.

The primary use of melissa hydrosol lies in facial and body skincare: toners, lotions, gel creams, and refreshing facial mists used throughout the day. It is frequently used as a base for lightweight moisturizing emulsions, blended into gels and masks, or applied on its own as a quick refresher after cleansing or during warm weather. Beyond cosmetics, lemon balm hydrosol is also used in water-based room sprays, home fragrance blends, and occasionally in culinary experiments where a natural botanical aroma without alcohol is desired. In industrial cosmetic production, this hydrosol is typically added at the final stage of manufacturing, into the water phase, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to preserve its volatile compounds and prevent degradation from excessive heat.

Recommended dosage in cream and lotion formulations ranges from 20 to 70 percent of the total water phase, depending on the desired fragrance intensity and functional benefit. When building layered formulations, melissa hydrosol pairs nicely with other plant waters: for a fruity, soft-toned mist try blending it with Apple Hydrosol, which contributes a light, rounded sweetness to the aroma. For calming, balancing blends, melissa hydrosol works well alongside Clover Hydrosol, while a more floral, feminine profile can be achieved by adding Palmarosa Hydrosol. Combining hydrosols this way allows formulators to build multi-layered aromatic and functional compositions without relying on synthetic fragrance additives.

Melissa hydrosol should be stored in a tightly sealed container, kept in a cool, dark place, ideally refrigerated, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, since its water-based composition is sensitive to temperature swings and prolonged air exposure. Once opened, it is best used within a reasonable timeframe, always handled with clean tools and hands to avoid contamination. For everyday convenience, many users transfer a small portion into a spray bottle for daily use while keeping the main supply in its original packaging.
