Benefits and Uses of Different Types of Hydrolates
In Bulgaria these products are known as floral waters. Worldwide, the generally accepted name of floral waters is hydrolates. Unfortunately, more and more manufacturers have started to produce hydrolates by using chemical compounds to add essential oil to water. On their own, these hydrolates have no beneficial effect as the traditional manufacturing by steam distillation.
The rose distillation method was first established in Persia. Evidence of the first rose gardens in Karlovo, Bulgaria dates back to 1712. When boiling rose oil, water is released and Bulgarian technologists called it floral water.

Our company has also developed its own know-how to naturally stabilize and improve the quality of the products.
Customers need to be aware that real floral water must be stored in opaque packaging.
