A hydrolate (or hydrosol) is the aqueous distillate that remains after steam distillation and separation of the essential oil.
Also known as floral water, however, this term is not regulated and a floral water can be a mixture using synthetic perfumes.
Hydrolates are therefore low-concentration extracts of aromatic and medicinal plants, composed mainly of distilled water and water-soluble plant compounds, making them a gentle alternative to essential oils, especially for use with sensitive people or animals.
Hydrolates are also the only way to have "certified organic water", which is very useful for water-based cosmetic formulations, and for certain beverages.
Hydrolates are highly sensitive to microbial contamination and development, as well as to heat, and keep much less well than essential oils (most of which have natural properties that help fight viruses, bacteria and fungi). For this reason, they should be kept in cold storage and/or a preservative added, particularly for cosmetic and non-food uses (generally COSMOS organic certification, whereas un-preserved hydrolates are EU organic for food use).
Hydrolates have many properties and uses: Cosmetics, Aromatherapy, Spa and well-being, Natural flavoring (for food-grade hydrolats), Household and household products, Veterinary and animal welfare, Gardening and agriculture.

Essential oils are natural aromatic substances extracted from plants. They are often used in aromatherapy for their health and wellness benefits. Essential oils can be extracted from different parts of plants, such as leaves, flowers, barks, roots or seeds. The use of essential oils dates back to ancient times, where they were used for their medicinal properties and to perfume cosmetics and skincare products.
