Our catalog is proud to feature a majestic, Organic Douglas Fir Hydrosol derived from the evergreen conifer that grows in the Western United States and Canada. Our Organic Douglas Fir Hydrosol is natural and can uplift and balance your formulations and senses. We use no preservatives in our hydrosols, which is one of the many reasons we gravitate to an artisan distiller. Artisan distillers craft this hydrosol with care, using copper alembic stills to prevent microbial growth and create a light, crisp, and coniferous aroma without any unpleasant "note" left behind. This versatile hydrosol can be used in a variety of formulations, including natural fragrances, bed linens, personal care products, aromatherapy, and home fragrances. Its sweet yet woody aroma is perfect for any time of the year, including winter and seasonal formulations. Use it to enhance your creations, such as massage lotions and cleaning products.
