Lemon myrtle hydrosol, also known as lemon myrtle floral water, is a versatile and aromatic distillate derived from the leaves of the Australian lemon myrtle tree (Backhousia citriodora). This hydrosol is a popular choice in aromatherapy, skincare, and natural cleaning products.

Its high content of citral, a compound known for its potent antimicrobial properties, makes it an excellent natural disinfectant. Lemon myrtle hydrosol can be used as a facial toner to balance and purify the skin, a soothing mist to refresh the body and mind, or a gentle cleanser for household surfaces.

In addition to its delightful scent and cleansing abilities, lemon myrtle hydrosol offers numerous therapeutic benefits. It is known for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal ingredient in skincare formulations aimed at soothing irritated or acne-prone skin. The hydrosol can also be used in aromatherapy to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of calm and well-being. 

Almond Oil can help prevent trans-epidermal water loss and assists in retaining water on the skin. Topical use creates an occlusive barrier in the skin, which can still be visible 2-3 days after application. Given its high percentages of Oleic (70%) and Linoleic (20%) acids, almond oil can penetrates the skin at a moderate rate, and can be beneficial as a skin lubricant and emoillient.

In general,  nuts, seeds, and legumes are excellent sources of phytosterols, both for the body and for skin. Phytosterols can help replenish and restore ageing skin, keeping it pliant and supple.

Almond oil is a valuable addition for both soap-makers and cosmetic chemists and can be useful in many formulations, including creams, facial oils, massage oils, soap, salves, balms and lotions.

Almond oil is insoluble in water and alchohol, but soluble in other oils. It should be added to the formula as is, in the fat phase of the formulation, and can be used at 1-100%, as it can be used neat in massage oils.
