There’s something in Meadowsweet hydrosol that stirs both skin and spirit. Distilled from the wild blooms and leaves of Filipendula ulmaria, this botanical mist carries the essence of sunlit meadows and the quiet healing held in every flower. It doesn’t just scent the air – it speaks to the body’s rhythm, offering calm, clarity, and care.

The Plant's Gift: A Distillate Rooted in Herbal Tradition

Ruled by Venus and cherished across generations, Meadowsweet has long been known as a healing herb for both external and internal well-being. Its hydrosol – gentler than essential oils but no less potent – is a loving expression of the plant’s cooling, balancing nature.

Anti-Inflammatory by Nature

Naturally rich in salicylic acid, Meadowsweet hydrosol gently reduces inflammation, soothes reactive skin, and supports the healing of irritations – offering calm where the skin feels unsettled.

Astringent & Toning

Its subtle astringent properties help refine pores, tone the complexion, and regulate excess oil – making it a beautiful natural toner for those seeking balance and clarity.

Antioxidant Protection

Packed with botanical antioxidants, this hydrosol helps defend against environmental stressors and free radical damage, gently supporting skin vitality over time.

Emotionally Soothing

With its soft, slightly sweet aroma, Meadowsweet hydrosol invites emotional release and nervous system calm – ideal for rituals of grounding or winding down.
