BAY LAUREL HYDROSOL (FLORAL WATER)

Bay Laurel Hydrosol – a traditional Mediterranean herbal water
Bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) has been a symbol of strength, protection, and confidence since antiquity. It has been used in culinary traditions, baths, and everyday practices, particularly after physical effort or rich meals.

Bay laurel hydrosol is a water-based aromatic distillate obtained through steam distillation of the leaves. As a hydrosol, it represents a gentle way to work with an otherwise strongly aromatic plant, suitable for everyday external use.

 Traditional and contemporary external use

Traditionally and in modern practice, bay laurel hydrosol is used externally:

– in baths intended for relaxation after physical effort,
– in body tonics and rinses,
– as part of massage and recovery routines,
– for daily care when warmth and grounding are desired.

Herbal traditions often describe bay laurel as a plant chosen when care focused on restoring strength, confidence, and inner direction.

 Use in natural cosmetics and aromatherapy

Due to its warming and structured character, bay laurel hydrosol is commonly used:

– as a water phase in soaps and body care products,
– in massage preparations,
– in invigorating body sprays,
– in cosmetic formulations intended for revitalising routines.

 Why choose bay laurel hydrosol?

Bay laurel has traditionally been associated with:

– warmth and strength,
– confidence and focus,
– support after effort or demanding periods,
– a powerful herbal character valued in Mediterranean traditions.

The hydrosol offers a gentle way to include this strong traditional heritage in everyday external and cosmetic care.
