COSMETIC BENEFITS

Flower hydrosols, such as orange flower water, can be found in a variety of skin creams and skin toners as they help hydrate dry skin and soothe sunburned or sensitive skin. Because orange flower water contains hydrophilic properties, it acts as a natural surfactant and emulsifier to enhance the application of lotions and other cosmetics. Hair care products such as shampoo and conditioner may contain orange flower water, which helps condition hair and adds shine. The hydrosol is also valued for its light scent, which blends well with other botanical fragrances.

AROMATHERAPY BENEFITS

Orange flower water is calming when added to bath water. Because it contains only the bare ?essence? of the essential oil, it is safe to use directly on the skin without further dilution. Elizabeth Anne Jones, author of “Awaken to Healing Fragrance: The Power of Essential Oil Therapy,? suggests spritzing orange flower water on your temples and on the back of your neck to cool off when the weather is hot or humid. She specifically recommends using orange flower water to ease headache or nervous tension. C. J. Puotinen, author of “The Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care,? says that the topical application of orange flower water relieves anxiety and stress and speeds wound healing in pets.
