At Makesenz, we love hydrolats! They are at the heart of our skincare routines and cosmetic formulations. Obtained by steam distillation of aromatic plants, this process produces two products: essential oils and hydrolats. Rich in natural active ingredients, the latter offer a multitude of benefits adapted to every skin type.

Hydrolats in our Makesenz products

In formulating our products, we prefer to use hydrolats in the aqueous phase rather than pure water. Their richness in natural active ingredients gives them unique properties that enhance the effectiveness of our skincare products. At Makesenz, we believe in the power of plants and the benefits of hydrolats to give your skin radiance, freshness and balance.

How can I incorporate hydrolats into my skincare routine?

Hydrolats are precious allies in daily skin care. Thanks to their mildness and slightly acidic pH, they respect the natural balance of the epidermis. At Makesenz, we recommend including hydrolats as toners in your routine. Used morning and evening, they wake up the skin in the morning, refresh it during the day and remove limescale residues after cleansing. They also have the added benefit of tightening the pores, helping to refine the skin's texture and prepare it to receive skincare products.

Optimise the absorption of your skincare products with hydrolats

A beauty secret you need to know? Slightly damp skin absorbs the active ingredients in the skincare products you apply much better! Serums, oils and creams are more effective when applied to skin still soaked in hydrolat. The water contained in the hydrolat helps to carry the active ingredients deep into the skin and optimises skin hydration. 

Hydrosols for your skin type

Each skin type has specific needs, and some hydrolats are particularly suitable:

• Sensitive and reactive skin: Roman Chamomile, Cornflower, Orange Blossom
• Oily and combination skin: Rosemary, Yarrow, Lavender
• Dry and mature skin: Damask Rose, Italian Helichrysum, Orange Blossom
• Eye contour: Cornflower (decongesting and soothing)

Discover them all and let yourself be seduced by their natural gentleness!
