Ivy Hydrosol 1 L

Why Ivy Distillate Suits Oily Skin, Scalp and Body Care Formulas

Ivy hydrosol is produced through steam distillation of the plant's leaves and young shoots, capturing a gentle water solution rich in the soluble compounds naturally present in the raw material. This product belongs to the broad category of Hydrosols and Floral Waters, which brings together natural distillates suitable for cosmetic production at any scale, from home workshops to production lines. The 1 liter format is aimed at small-batch and studio manufacturing: cosmetic labs, independent skincare brands and salons that use hydrosol regularly and in noticeable quantities.

The main appeal of ivy hydrosol in skincare comes from its toning action, its ability to visibly tighten enlarged pores and support drainage of excess fluid from tissues, which makes it a common ingredient in anti-cellulite gels, toning body lotions and sprays for skin prone to puffiness. Another significant field of use is hair and scalp care, where ivy distillate is traditionally added to strengthening masks, shampoos aimed at reducing scalp oiliness, and anti-dandruff lotions. Beyond cosmetics, plant distillates such as ivy hydrosol are used in the production of natural home sprays and plant-based household formulations, where a gentle mode of action without harsh chemicals is valued.

Hydrosol is typically introduced at the final cool-down stage of a formula, once the emulsion or gel base has cooled to room temperature or no higher than 40 degrees, in order to preserve the volatile fractions and biological activity of the plant material. A common dosage in creams, lotions and gels ranges between 30 and 70 percent of the total water phase, while toners and spray products often use the hydrosol undiluted or with minimal additional ingredients. This distillate pairs well with other plant waters: the toning effect of ivy is nicely complemented by the refreshing action of Pine Hydrosol, 100 ml in formulas for oily and problem skin, while a balanced blend for hair strengthening formulas can be created together with Rosemary Hydrosol 50 ml. For gentler, more soothing formulations, ivy hydrosol can also be combined with the lighter Apple Hydrosol 50 ml.

When working with essential oils, hydrosol serves as a convenient base for oil-in-water spray blends and light emulsions, and in fragrance work it can be used as a base for refreshing body mists. Store the product in a tightly sealed container, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, use it within the period recommended by the manufacturer once opened, and avoid letting moisture or foreign particles enter the bottle to prevent microbial growth.
