Hydrosol - Basil

Why you will Love it

Crafted in Adelaide from home-grown perennial basil harvested at its peak bio-activity, this high-potency hydrosol is a true multi-tasking marvel.

Thanks to our small-batch glass steam distillation, it retains an extraordinary 1% of pure essential oil suspended directly in the distillate—making it vastly more potent and medicinally active than standard commercial herbal waters.

With a skin-perfect pH of 5.6 and a delightful aromatic profile, it works double duty to structurally firm aging skin, defeat acne-causing bacteria, and support internal wellness.

All Active Botanicals

Organic Plant Hydrosols

We organically grow our herbs on-site and extract them through gentle steam distillation to capture these pure, nutrient-rich hydrosols.

By harvesting the plants when they are at 75% flowering, we ensure they are at their absolute peak potency to release active, therapeutic bio-compounds.

They can be used both externally to balance, hydrate, and refresh the skin—either on their own or mixed with your existing skincare—and internally to infuse foods or drinks with natural botanical benefits.

Because we use these premium hydrosols extensively as the foundational base for our own product range, retail availability depends strictly on the plants' preferred growing seasons and what we have to spare from our small-batch harvests.
