Hydrolate is extracted from rockrose with the steam distillation process. The leaves are harvested and added into a recipient. A wood fuelled boiler, produces vapor, that is directed to pass through the leaves. The hot vapour dragging essential oil and other aromatic compounds is directed to a water cooler and condenses into a recipient. Essential oil is lighter than hydrolate so we can collect both nicely separated by a gentle physical process. This process takes about 2 to 3 hours, where we collect the hydrolate continuously until the distillation is stopped, when we immediately store it in oxygen-free bag-in-box containers, preserving for long time.
