Organic Atlas Cedarwood Hydrosol

Uses Hair care

As an ingredient in the following blends for spraying on the scalp and/or hair.

• Use together with active ingredients and other natural water-soluble ingredients to create scalp lotions or hair sprays. These preparations can be stored in the refrigerator, just like pure hydrosols. To keep them at room temperature, a preservative such as Cosgard must be added (transfer the hydrosol to a bowl before adding the preservative).

• Essential oils may also be added if desired, but a dispersant (such as Solubol or Disper) is required, as essential oils are not soluble in water. As with other formulations, a preservative is needed if the lotion is to be stored at room temperature.
