SAGE HYDROSOL (FLORAL WATER)

Sage Hydrosol – a traditional European herbal water
Sage (Salvia officinalis) has been one of the most valued plants in European herbal tradition. Its name derives from the Latin salvare, meaning “to preserve” or “to protect”. Traditionally, it was used in rinses, baths, household care, and symbolic protective practices.

Sage hydrosol is a water-based aromatic distillate obtained through steam distillation of the leaves. As a hydrosol, it represents a gentler form of an otherwise very potent plant, suitable for everyday external use.

 Traditional and contemporary external use

Traditionally and in modern practice, sage hydrosol is used externally:

– for mouth rinsing and oral care routines,
– as a facial tonic for oily or unbalanced skin,
– in baths intended for cleansing and restoring order,
– as a refreshing herbal water for daily care.

Herbal traditions often describe sage as a plant chosen when care focused on purification, structure, and stability.

 Use in natural cosmetics and aromatherapy

Due to its clarity and balancing nature, sage hydrosol is commonly used:

– as a base for creams and facial tonics for oily skin,
– in natural deodorants,
– in soaps and cleansing cosmetic products,
– in body sprays intended for freshness and balance.

 Why choose sage hydrosol?

Sage has traditionally been associated with:

– protection and order,
– clarity and balance,
– structured and disciplined care routines,
– a strong herbal character valued in European traditions.

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