About
A mild botanical water that adds a light plant-derived conditioning effect. It is usually fairly gentle, but fragrant plant waters can still bother very reactive skin.
This ingredient is an aqueous botanical distillate or flower water used for light conditioning and sensory appeal. Because it is mostly water-phase plant material, it is usually milder than a concentrated essential oil, but fragrant molecules can still irritate very reactive skin. Safety is generally acceptable if the product is well preserved and fragrance exposure is modest.
