Lemon Verbena Distillate Water

Pure, therapeutic Lemon Verbena Distillate Water

Distillate Waters are also referred to as Hydrosols or Floral Waters and are the by-product of distillation in the manufacture of essential oils. Valuable plant compounds left behind in the distillation process are available in the distillate waters.  TIMELESS 100% pure, therapeutic Distillate Waters are hand poured for quality assurance, and now packed with Nitrogen and Argon to promote freshness.  We recommend refrigeration for all Distillate Waters.
