• A useful association when it is necessary to alleviate the consequences of excessive eating and drinking in general.
• As can be seen with the use of detoxifying EO such as lovage and celery, this combination of the 2 HAs can have effects on skin problems that are difficult to resolve.
• Used as a face lotion, cypress hydrosol firms the tissues, has an astringent effect and is useful in the case of dilated pores.
• It is used in hair lotion as a scalp tonic.

It will be used as an ingredient in the aqueous phase in the preparation of creams or gels intended for oily skin, with dilated pores, as well as for its decongesting and slimming virtues.

Internal use: 1 to 2 tablespoons in 1 litre of water.

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.
