Qu’est-ce que l’hydrolat de jeunes pousses d’orge certifié BIO?
You probably have an idea of what young barley shoots are. But if we talk to you about barley sprouts hydrolate, it gets more complicated.
No panic, hydrolat is just the technical term used in cosmetic jargon to refer to a form of floral water or plant water.
Be careful, it is not juice obtained by pressing the plant. Otherwise, your eye patches would probably be green! It's a bit more technical to extract this precious liquid. But yes, it could have been called "young barley shoot plant water".
And it is the occasion to talk to you, since you appreciate organic cosmetics, about a method of extraction among the most ancestral of the vegetable active principles: the steam distillation. And yes, biotechnology is great, but in many cases, we use good old-fashioned and undeniable techniques.
Let's start with a little reminder of the principle of distillation

This device, which consists of a succession of containers, allows the separation and collection of the different liquid constituents of a plant, according to their boiling temperature.
