Cistus Hydrosol - Organic

Our Bioflore hydrosols are 100% pure, preservative-free and of food-grade quality. They can be used both internally and externally, for skin and hair care.

Cistus has been known since ancient times - like all aromatic plants in the same lineage, the healing, emotional and spiritual principles are intimately connected. The very particular smell with deep balsamic notes of wood and resin may confuse some people. By diluting the hydrosol, the aroma is diffused to an optimal level that everyone can appreciate. The astringent aspect of the cistus can already be smelled, like a principle of contraction, of tightening. In addition to its remarkable regenerating effect on the skin, this principle of contraction will help you to regain your composure in a tense or even traumatic emotional context.

The 200 ml bottles combine lightness with optimal protection: an aluminium outer shell and an inner layer made from food-grade, bisphenol A-free resin, providing an effective UV barrier and good thermal insulation. This choice also helps to reduce the carbon footprint thanks to the lightweight packaging.

We also organise the recycling of the aluminium: the bottles can be returned to Bioflore in Wavre or to L’Herboristerie de Louise in Brussels, to be sent to a company that recycles and reuses the material.

If you’d like to use this hydrosol as a mist, a spray nozzle is available for purchase: simply screw it onto your bottle and reuse it on your future bottles. An economical and eco-friendly solution that helps reduce waste.

As they contain no preservatives, we recommend storing our hydrosols in the fridge to best preserve their quality and avoid exposure to temperature fluctuations.

Once opened, we recommend using them within 3 months.
