Eucalyptus,
(genus Eucalyptus), large genus of more than
660 species of shrubs and tall trees of the myrtle family
(Myrtaceae), native to Australia, Tasmania, and nearby islands. In
Australia the eucalypti are commonly known as gum trees or stringybark trees.
Many species are cultivated widely throughout the temperate regions
of the world as shade trees or in forestry plantations. Economically,
eucalyptus trees constitute one of the most valuable groups within
the order Myrtales.
Also known as hydrosols, floral
waters are actually a by-product of the steam distillation process used to
capture essential oils. During a normal essential oil distillation process, the
steam containing the oils is cooled to turn it into water, and the essential
oils floating on top are skimmed off and bottled. The remaining water is
considered floral water! Any floral water contains water, water-soluble
components of the plant, and trace amounts of the essential oil. This unique
composition lends each floral water a full spectrum of the essence and
properties of the botanical material from which it was derived. Though they are
most often called floral waters, hydrosols can be produced from any plant
matter like herbs, needles, leaves, woods, barks, and seeds.
Floral waters have many valuable
uses in beauty, skincare, haircare, and household products. At Venkatramna
Industries, we offer wide range of floral waters for a variety of product
applications. They can be sold as pure floral waters to be used as sprays and
spritzers, or they can be strategically blended with other ingredients to
create versatile consumer products.
