Neroli blossoms are aromatic and often used in perfumes. While they smell lovely, they also have properties beneficial to the skin. As an astringent, neroli blossoms are great for oily skin. They boost the blood flow in the skin, reviving and balancing dull skin. Neroli is calming and de-stressing, yet uplifting and refreshing. An excellent toner, it helps to clear acne and irritations. Great for any skin type, especially oily, acne prone, or combination skin types. Avoid using on very dry skin.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
I love this hydrosol! I have had neroli hydrosol from various suppliers, but this one is my favorite. I appreciate that there is a preservative added because I have had issues before with unpreserved ones molding within a short time, even while refrigerated. The smell is also amazing and spot on. I find this hydrosol to calming and centering for me and I love spritzing it on for that effect! I also use it as a toner in a blend with a few other hydrosols.
So glad you are loving this! We bring this in from Morocco, and it is one of our favorites too! Thank you for your review!

My Favorite Hydrosol!
I love all things Neroli and this hydrosol is no exception. I use a few sprays as part of my morning and evening skincare routine to help my Pre-Emptive strike serum spread smoothly (sorry for all the alliteration). I love the way it smells and feel like it is very gentle on my aging+acne prone skin.
This is one of my personal favorites too! :) Thank you for the review!
