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.
