About
Blue Egyptian water lily floral water — a delicate, gentle hydrosol with soft fragrance. Low-irritation profile, often used in toners and mists.
Nymphaea coerulea (blue Egyptian water lily / blue lotus) flower water is a by-product of steam distilling the flowers for their essential oil — a mild, aromatic aqueous distillate (hydrosol) used in cosmetics for skin-conditioning, mild fragrance, and as a refreshing aqueous base. Flower waters in general have much lower terpene and fragrance-allergen loads than the corresponding essential oils, giving them a gentler tolerability profile. CosIng lists it under skin conditioning / fragrance. No formal CIR monograph; industry safety data and long cosmetic use support a green tier. Preservation is required as the hydrosol is a water-based medium.
