Distillates are commonly used as room fresheners, skin toners and as ingredients in skin care products. Our distillates are available in 1-2ounce spray bottles. These are great for spritzing on the skin as a body spray. You can also use them on your face or in your hair. Their slight acidic nature helps restore the acid mantle of your skin. Larger sizes also available.

Distillates are a seasonal product, contact us for availability or requests. We normally sell out 1 and 2 ounce bottles without a preservative but they are available with a preservative upon request. Although herbal distillates do come off the still sterile, it is very likely that bacteria and fungus fall into the open container during collection. Shelf life varies greatly depending upon handling and usage. If you plan to keep the hydrosol for awhile please add a preservative or order with one. Hydrosols are great to use as is or as an ingredient in toners, lotions, creams and more. Colorado Aromatics uses these in toners, lotions and creams.

Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens Engelm) - a subtle woodsy (masculine) smell. Great used  in an aftershave. Helps with stress. 

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) Lemon balm should have a sweet, light, lemony aroma without being citrusy.  Lemon balm distillate has many skin benefits especially for oily skin, or it can be enjoyed diluted in a drink (but make sure to order it fresh without a preservative for drinking).

Catnip (Nepeta cataria) This distillate has a potent catnip smell! The herb has a reputation for repelling insects. It should be a great base for formulating insect repellants.

Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) A pleasant fruity, herby aroma. Clary sage is known for its many curative properties including joint and muscle pain. Also try it as a spray for improving mood.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) This distillate has a very strong aroma with some essential oil floating on top. Try it for anti-aging formulas. As a drink it may help obesity.

Lavender (Lavandula sp) We grow alot of lavender on our farm and just love this hydrosol. I keep a small spritzer in my pocket to use throughout the day. Many customers also buy this as well as rose for use on airplanes to hydrate the face. 

Rose (Rosa sp) We have put in a variety of roses on our farm that are grown for their aromatics. Although these plants are very small now we are excited about offering more of this distillate as the rose bushes grow in size. Rose is great for skin hydration as well as mood. This also makes a great 'little girl's perfume' as it is very light.

Mint (Mentha sp) I make this distillate from a variety of mints I grow including chocolate mint. The aroma is very strong and great for the sinuses. This is a great cooling mist for summer.

Also available with special request:  Winter Savory, Hyssop Officinalis, Sage, Anise hyssop, Juniper, Ponderosa Pine, Mint, and possibly others, just ask. Supplies are limited during winter/spring months.

Note: Colorado Aromatics Distillates/Hydrosols are tested for presence of bacterial and fungal contamination.

Distillates are sold without preservatives unless requested. Shelf life varies depending upon handling. Refrigeration should be used.
