What is Organic Cornflower Hydrosol?

Organic cornflower hydrosol is obtained through steam distillation of the wild cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), known for its striking deep blue petals. The process separates the plant's aromatic water fraction, resulting in a mild ingredient suitable for direct incorporation into cosmetic formulations without further dilution.

From a functional standpoint, cornflower hydrosol stands out for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, along with a notable antioxidant content. These characteristics make it an interesting active for formulating products aimed at sensitive, delicate or irritation-prone skin, as well as for revitalizing facial toners.

Sensitive skin care. Due to its soothing properties, it is particularly useful in creams, gels and emulsions designed for reactive or irritated skin, where the goal is to reduce tightness and improve overall skin comfort.

Eye contour care. Thanks to its mildness, cornflower hydrosol is frequently incorporated into formulas targeting the periocular area, providing freshness and contributing to a more rested-looking skin.
