Pelargonium plants
are comprised of a myriad of hybrids and cultivars. They are bushy perennial
shrubs possessing hairy, jagged leaves and clusters of small, pink striped
flowers. The plant grows best in a warm temperate climate with plenty of
sunshine for maximum oil development. It is sensitive to cold weather and frost
averse. Glands located widely over the surface of the leaves and the green
parts of the plant produce an aromatic volatile oil. Variations in the aromatic
compounds of different cultivars results in diverse aromatic profiles for the
different types of geranium essential oils available, that is, rose geranium,
geranium or rose geranium bourbon. This is a key component of the surprise and
delight inherent in plant-based aromas.
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.
