Hydrosols are a by-product of the steam distillation of plants to produce essential oils.
Hydrosols contain the water-soluble components of the plant, as well as some of the volatile oils. They have a similar aroma to the plant's essential oil but are much less concentrated.
Hydrosols can be used in aromatherapy and as a facial toner in your skincare routine. Some popular hydrosols include rose, immortelle, yarrow blossom, lavender, and chamomile.
Hydrosols are similar to essential oils but are much less concentrated and have a different aroma profile. They are often used in aromatherapy, skincare, and as a natural cosmetic ingredient.
Hydrosols can be used as a facial toner or mist, added to creams or lotions, or used in place of water in DIY beauty formulations. They are typically safe and gentle, making them a popular choice for sensitive skin users.

As a senior I didn't know what to expect. However, in the last two weeks I have noticed that my deep wrinkles look smoother and fuller. i realize it's important to persevere if one wants to make a change. So I'll continue using it morning and night. Thank you for a quality product!
⋆.˚✮ ✮˚.⋆ for taking the time to share this. Hearing that you’re noticing your skin look smoother and fuller with continued use means a great deal to us.
Skincare changes take patience, and your note about perseverance really resonates. As someone who is almost 70 myself, I understand how important it is to give the skin time and consistency, and to choose products that feel supportive rather than aggressive.
Thank you for your trust and for being part of Garden of Wisdom.

This is the best cream for “mature” skin. I have tried many highly recommended expensive products but this is the only one that actually works, together with a couple of other GOW products as recommended by Jen, to give my skin that “youthful glow” as commented on by my friends. I especially appreciate the natural ingredients with no strange chemicals!
However, as good as this cream is, it is eclipsed by the amazing customer service and suggestions from Jen who tolerated my multiple questions and responded so quickly that I felt as if I was their only customer!
Thank you Jen and GOW for all your help and wonderful products.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Hearing that this cream has truly supported your skin and helped bring out that kind of glow means SO much to all of us.
Equally meaningful is your note about working with Jen. Thoughtful guidance and real conversations are just as important to us as the formulas themselves, and she puts so much care into helping each person feel supported and understood.
Thank you for your trust, your kindness, and for being part of Garden of Wisdom.
We’re grateful to be on this journey with you.
I love using this on my body. It's magical on knees and elbows. Definitely reviving for dry/rough skin and magical for the rest of my body. Hope this gets made into a body lotion.
Hi Alyssa
Oh, you have no idea how happy this makes us. This really is a beautiful cream, and it’s always so meaningful to hear when skin responds to it in such a positive way.
The formula holds a special place for us, and the name does too. It actually came from a little in-house naming contest years ago, and while it’s quirky, it ended up being the perfect fit.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review.
Wishing you the very best on your skincare journey.

This is a fantastic everyday facial cleanser, but I wanted to share another use—it’s the absolute best “feminine” cleanser ever! Hopefully most of us know not to use soaps with harsh pH that can cause problems down there, but sometimes I felt like a water-only wash wasn’t quite enough. Super sensitive cleansing oil to the rescue! I’ve never felt fresher since using this product. Cleanses without stripping or disrupting your most delicate skin’s balance. Perfect!
Hi, Emily ˚‧。⋆⋆。‧˚
Thank you for sharing this. We are always happy to here when a product such as the 'Super Sensitive Cleansing Oil' has felt gentle, balanced, and supportive for your skin.
Our goal is always to create formulas that cleanse effectively while respecting the skin’s natural balance, especially for those with sensitivities.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.
Markey and her GoW Family
I started using this about 3 months ago and it is a game changer. I have had three people ask me what I am using. Everyone says I am glowing! It’s the only thing I have changed in my routine. Highly recommend it for women over 50.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Hearing that the Bakuchiol Botanic Facial Oil Booster has been a game changer for your skin and that you’re seeing that kind of glow means more than I can say.
Creating products that truly support skin as it changes over time is deeply personal to me. As someone who is almost 70, I understand firsthand how important it is to feel comfortable, confident, and at home in your skin.
Thank you for trusting us and for sharing your experience with others.
With gratitude,

So far I like the PPSO and the way the oil quickly absorbs into the skin
So far I like the PPSO and the way the oil quickly absorbs into the skin. The only issue is that I keep forgetting that I have it in the refrigerator.

Banishes redness
Bought this for my husband to treat redness on his face. It's hard to get him to use products. Started with a sample. I worked, so he asked me to order more. He must really like it. Thanks Garden of Wisdom!

Great for clogged pores
This product works well on my sensitive skin. It has helped clear clogged pores on my nose as well as reduce small bumps that frequently appear on my cheeks. I'll keep this one on hand at all times.

Best lotion ever!
This lotion is the best I’ve ever found! Sinks in beautifully, providing moisture to dry, cracked hands and itchy, flaky legs. After many years of searching for the perfect lotion, I’ve found the one! The aroma is subtly beautiful (sea of blue)- love everything about this product :). Thank you Garden of Wisdom!,

This Is THE Lotion
All the things skin is supposed to do, (like holding in hydration and moisture, shedding naturally, and remaining intact to provide a barrier against the elements) my skin doesn't. What it does do, is react to everything (including my own sweat) as an enemy, and block and inflame random pores as revenge upon me for trying to moisturize so the itching doesn't drive me to madness.
This lotion has been genuinely miraculous. At best, others help one problem but cause another. This one interrupts the cycle, and has actually made my skin healthier. To echo another review, please never stop making this.
