Specifications and sourcing details
Cornflower Hydrosol 1 L is sourced from France and produced by steam distillation of cornflower flowers. INCI Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water. The 1 L transport packaging meets international bulk requirements for laboratories and manufacturers. Hydrosols Bulk presents consistent lots with documented pH 5.0-6.0 and full water solubility for predictable results in production.
Physical and chemical profile
The distillate shows a fresh floral odour, clarity and neutral taste profile. Appearance remains stable under recommended conditions until 10.2028. Solubility in water allows direct incorporation into aqueous phases without additional processing steps. Quality checks include visual inspection and odour evaluation before release.
Formulation guidelines for manufacturers
Recommended input starts at 1% and can reach 100% after sensitivity testing. The ingredient integrates into toners, face sprays, creams and lotions as water phase, providing a light refreshing effect suitable for dry skin types.
Compatibility with other ingredients and batch production notes
Cornflower Hydrosol 1 L enters aqueous phases easily below 40 °C. Manufacturers adjust intensity by combining with lavender or rose distillates for balanced textures. For wholesale batches it is important to verify impact on viscosity and emulsion stability. product: Cornflower Hydrosol 100 ml serves for comparative tests in the same formulas before scaling up. section: Hydrosols & Floral Waters offers additional distillates for experiments with multilayered water phases in creams.
Handling and storage for batches
Store in a dark cool place away from sunlight and heat sources. Verify transparency, odour and pH range before use in each production lot. The packaging protects volatile components during transport and storage.
Example emulsion formulation
Cornflower Hydrosol 1 L - 65%. Water - 30%. Emulsifier - 3%. Preservative - 1%. Active - 1%. Sum 100%. Apply as hair rinse after washing to support clean-looking scalp and hair density.
How to check freshness before adding to a recipe?
Evaluate colour, clarity and intensity of the floral odour, compare the filling date with the stated shelf life.
Can it be mixed with oil phases?
The hydrosol is added to the aqueous phase of an emulsion below 40 °C while respecting the recommended input percentages.
Which volume is best for the first test?
One litre is sufficient for trial batches to assess behaviour in several formulas and check compatibility.
Does the packaging affect odour preservation?
The dense transport packaging protects from light and evaporation, keeping the odour stable until the end of shelf life.
