Rosmarinus officinalis,
also known as rosemary, is an aromatic plant which belongs to the Lamiaceae
family and is native to the Mediterranean region. Rosemary essential oil is
produced by steam distillation from the flowering tips of the plant yielding a
colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, warm, woody, balsamic aroma.
Rosemary is widely cultivated for
culinary and medicinal use. It is used in a wide variety of dishes, including
as a meat seasoning (lamb, poultry), to add flavor to soups and vegetables, and
in fruit salads, dressings, and stuffings. As reflected by the
name officinalis, it is known as a medicinal herb, with a long
history of use in the West, including nervous system ailments. Queen
Isabella of Hungary in the fourteenth century used rosemary to treat gout and
rosemary has been burned in sick rooms as a disinfectant. Its aromatic
properties are used to scent cosmetics.
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.
