Plant hydrolates – Antioxidant properties, chemical composition and potential applications
Hydrolates, are by-products of the hydrodistillation of plants. They consist of the distillation water in which very small amounts of essential oils remain dispersed. Hydrosols are widely used in cosmetics. One of the greatest challenges in skin care, whether it is healthy or affected by a pathologi...
