Medicinal plants and aromatic plants are grown on our organic farm Švigl ourselves, at the right moment and in beautiful sunny weather, we only harvest them by hand and steam or water/steam distill them fresh. For our products, we have chosen plants that have beneficial effects on the skin, but their usefulness is much wider, and the demand for them from our valued users is high. The hydrolats that flow from our boilers are not only a by-product of the extraction of essential oils, but all our energy, knowledge and experience are directed to the specialized production of the hydrolats themselves. For this reason, the quality of only these is really exceptional, we use about a kilogram of plant material for a liter of the finished product, they are constantly monitored and nurtured. As you probably know, hydrolates completely replace the water part in MOIKA products, and the excesses are packed just for you in returnable glass containers with a spray bottle.

 What is hydrolate?

hydrolate is the aqueous product of steam distillation of plant material, a process used to extract natural essential oils. The active ingredients contained in the hydrolat are not identical to those in the essential oil, or some appear in both, some only in one or the other. When studying the composition of sage distillate, the essential oil contained e.g. identified twenty-eight compounds, but only eight in the oil of its hydrolate (Hasan Baydar, M. Kemal Sangun, Sabri Erbas in Nimet Kara, 2013)). The usability and effectiveness of the two liquids are by no means identical. The hydrolate therefore contains a small concentration of dissolved components of the essential oil (for sage, e.g. 0.17%) and other water-soluble substances in the plant (Petra Ratajc, 2017). Depending on the content of individual compounds, they are selected for use for various purposes.
