Monarda Hydrosol

  ✷ The plants ✷Monarda, or Bee BalmKnown for its bold, floral-citrus scent, monarda is bright, enlivening, full-hearted, uplifting, and courageous. ✷ How to use ✷Spray on or around your body as: A facial toner after cleansing A post-shower body mist A cooling mist on hot days A calming pre-meditation ritual A partner with your face wash (use it to mix the powder) A quick pick-me-up when you’re feeling sluggish You can also emulsify it with your favorite body oil in your hands to create an instant cream. ✷ How I make it ✷ Distilled in-house with a handcrafted copper alembic still using only plants and purified water, this hydrosol captures the living essence of freshly harvested plants. Each batch takes over 4 hours of slow heat to extract the water-soluble compounds, plant waters, and a trace of essential oil — resulting in a vibrant, long-lasting distillate that’s alive with the spirit of monarda.
