Ylang Ylang Organic Hydrosol, 250ml

Latin name: Cananga odorata
Plant part used: Flowers
Origin: France

Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) is a tropical tree native to Asia and widely cultivated on the islands of the Indian Ocean. Its name, meaning “flower of flowers,” reflects the beauty of its large, vibrant yellow blossoms.

Historically, ylang ylang was cherished in ancient cultures for its association with skin care and beauty rituals. Today, it’s equally admired for its essential oil, renowned for its uplifting, mood-enhancing floral aroma.

Ylang Ylang hydrosol captures the plant’s exotic, sweet, and persistent fragrance in a gentle floral water. Traditionally, it is appreciated for its aromatic qualities and use in natural hair care, particularly for dull or lackluster hair exposed to hard, mineral-rich water.

Essenciagua’s Ylang Ylang Organic Hydrosol is artisanally distilled to preserve the delicate fragrance and botanical essence of the flowers, offering a versatile floral water for natural beauty and sensory rituals.

Cananga odorata
Plant part used: Flowers

Hydrosols are created in the same process as essential oils - through gentle steam distillation. When steam passes through the fresh plant material (for example, rose petals), it carries with it both the essential oil and water-soluble aromatic molecules from the plant.

Once cooled, the essential oil naturally separates and rises to the surface, while the aromatic water underneath is the hydrosol. This hydrosol is pure spring water enriched with the plant’s own active compounds - like a delicate imprint of the whole plant.The distillation process is slow and careful, allowing the hydrosol to gather all the lighter and heavier aromatic notes so that it becomes a complete, true reflection of the plant. Afterward, it’s gently filtered and bottled - nothing else is added. No preservatives, no alcohol, no synthetic fragrances.

This is why a plant hydrosol is not just ‘flavored water,’ but a living extract full of the plant’s natural vibrancy, carrying both therapeutic and sensory qualities.

Keep your hydrosol in the refrigerator.

Essenciagua prioritizes sustainability in packaging by using recyclable PET bottles, free from phthalates and bisphenols. These bottles are lightweight, shock-resistant, UV-protective, and impermeable to aromatic molecules, making them a more eco-conscious alternative to glass for transport and production.

The secure, non-unscrewable caps ensure the hydrosols remain unopened and perfectly preserved until use.

Shelf Life of an Open Hydrosol (Refrigerated)

• Typical Duration: Once opened and kept in the refrigerator, a hydrosol will generally keep well for 6 to 12 months. Some delicate hydrosols may start to lose their freshness earlier, while more stable ones (like Rose or Lavender) often last toward the longer end.
  
• Storage Conditions: Always store in the refrigerator, tightly closed, away from light and heat. Avoid touching the inside of the cap or bottle opening to prevent contamination.
  

How to Tell if It’s Spoiled

• Olfactory Test: A fresh hydrosol should have a clean, pleasant plant aroma.
  
• Signs of Spoilage:
  
  - The aroma disappears or changes to sour, vinegary, or musty.
  
  - Cloudiness, sediment, or visible growth (mold/bacteria).
  
  - A sticky texture on the surface or inside the cap.
  
  

Practical Tip

Even if the hydrosol is technically within the safe shelf-life window, trust your senses, if it smells or looks “off,” it’s best not to use it on skin or internally. It can sometimes still be used for household cleaning purposes if only mildly altered in scent, but not for therapeutic or cosmetic use.
