Preservative note: Our organic hydrosols are 100% steam distilled water, not deionized water that has been boiled with flowers or water that has been blended with essential oil. These hydrolats are made using only steam distilled product and is, therefore, more subtle in aroma and do not have preservatives added. If you plan on storing the hydrosol in a room with fluctuating temperatures, or opening and closing repeatedly the container, it is a good idea to add a small amount of a water based preservative, such as our BDHA Benzyl Alcohol & Dehydroacetic Acid Preservative, Campo Plantservative WSR Water Soluble Broad Spectrum Preservative, or Pre-Solubilized Sodium Benzoate & Potassium Sorbate Preservative. You could use just 1% and it can help stabilize the organic hydrosols for longer term storage.

When making steam distilled essential oils, the heavy oils fall to the bottom and the steam that rises to the top is called a hydrolat (or hydrosol or plant water). The hydrosols that we carry are these 100% pure steam by-product of the plant- no water added, no preservatives needed as these are 100% steam, no essential oil added.

Why Hemp Hydrosol?

Hemp hydrolat/hydrosol is an excellent way to get the benefits of hemp without having the strong smell of hemp. Our Organic Hemp Hydrosol has a very mellow aroma of pine, herbs and freshness and would pair beautifully with our excellent Dark Patchouli and Oregon Spearmint Essential oils. Use as a pillow spray, face mist, body hydrator, or as the water base for any one of your many skincare formulas!

Having listed the patchouli and the spearmint as possible blends, please don’t get the impression that organic hemp hydrosol smells like weed. It does not. It smells like fresh herbs mixed with pine- very clean, natural, mild earthy smell. You could spray this direct and never know that it had hemp in it. Hydrosols are very mild in nature and are meant as plant delivery systems without the strong smell.

Hemp, as a plant, is incredibly calming and soothing to irritated skin. You can use Organic Hemp Hydrolat to help treat bug bites, burns, inflamed skin, wounds. Any time the skin is having an inflammatory response, hemp is an excellent topical way to calm it.

If you have a CBD/THC line, consider using Organic Hemp Hydrosol as all or part of your water content in your emulsified products. This will just enhance the overall benefit of the hemp ingredients and make your final product even more powerful.

You can mix any of our organic botanical hydrosols with essential oils to make a room spray, also. There are two ways:

Just use the hydrosol and some essential oils and advise your customers that they will need to shake it each time before use as the essential oils will separate out OR

Blend your essential oils with Polysorbate 80 (1 to 1 ratio), then add into your organic plant hydrosols. The polysorbate 80 works as an emulsifier to keep the oils suspended and it is 100% plant based!

Hydrolats/hydrosols do smell like the essential oil they are derived from, but they are not nearly as strong as an essential oil. This makes them ideal to use as a gentle spray all on their own, or you can blend them into your products to impart the plant benefits without overwhelming your finished product aroma.

Organic hydrolats/hydrosols are excellent to use as tonics, face sprays, body sprays, perfume bases, and as carriers for skincare products in place of using just water. When you use a hydrolat/hydrosol in place of the water in your formula, you calculate that as part of the organic percentage, and you get to list the plant benefits.

They will impart a vary faint smell to your products, but nothing like adding the essential oil. These cannot be used in place of essential oils or fragrances with the expectation that your products will smell the same.

Having said all that, hydrolats/hydrosols are the BEST way to get plant bio-actives into your products without having the strong smells of the essential oils.

Our organic Hemp Hydrolat/Hydrosol is now grown right here in Oregon! We have partnered with an exceptional farm in Philomath, Oregon. We carry Lavender, Hemp, Cucumber and Tulsi Organic hydrosols all grown on this same farm.

Due to the soft smell profile of hydrolats/hydrosols you can use just about any of these with other essential oils.

You can use organic hydrosols directly on the skin. These are not as strong as essential oils, so no dilution is needed.

If you use any of our organic hydrosols on their own, you do not have to add any preservative to them. If you add water (please use distilled water) to the base, you will have to add a preservative. You can use a blend of Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate; you can use Leucidal Liquid Complete; you can use Campo Plantservative Water Soluble. Anytime you add water to a product you will need to do a preservative.

About the farm:

This farm is the brainchild of two long-time Oregonians. With the onset of the Hemp Pilot program in Oregon, Josh started J & J Organics with veggie farmer extraordinaire John Eveland, growing USDA certified organic hemp right in the fertile soils beside the Mary’s River in Philomath. As production grew it became apparent that there was a major lack of infrastructure to process organically grown hemp into certified organic full spectrum hemp oil and hemp products. This gave birth to one of the first fully USDA certified hemp processing facilities on the west coast. They have since grown into a central place in the organic hemp community of Oregon, using home-grown expertise to create custom extracts and build private label product lines. This farm has also championed third-party certifications to help with transparency and integrity, including becoming one of the first Demeter-certified Biodynamic hemp processing facilities in the United States.
