What is a hair tonic?
A hair tonic, also known as floral water, is the by-product of steam distillation of plants. This process extracts the plant's water-soluble active ingredients, making it a product rich in benefits but much milder than essential oils. Hair tonics are renowned for their soothing, invigorating and regenerating reputation, and can be safely used directly on the skin and hair.

A gentle ritual for the scalp
Massaging a hair tonic into the scalp has long been part of natural hair care rituals. Rosemary hair tonic, for example, is traditionally associated with scalp massage rituals in aromatherapy. Similarly, Laurel hair tonic has a long-standing reputation for supporting stronger-feeling strands.
How to use hair tonics in your hair routine
Incorporating hair tonics into your hair routine is simple and can be done in a variety of ways:
Scalp tonic: spray our Bay Rum Tree hair tonic on your scalp after washing and massage gently, a simple ritual worth adding to your routine. You can also use Aroma-Zone's hair tonics in a scalp scrub.
Hair rinse: after shampooing, use our Lemon hair tonic as a rinse water, traditionally known for its purifying properties, helping the scalp feel fresher between washes, and bringing shine to the lengths.
Soothing care: The German Chamomile hair tonic is known for its soothing reputation, ideal for sensitive or irritated scalps. Apply it directly to the scalp as part of a calming routine.
Choosing the right hair tonic for your hair type
By choosing high-quality hair tonics, you can ensure your hair receives natural, effective care. Grapefruit hair tonic is traditionally used to help revive dull, tired-looking hair, while Nettle hair tonic, rich in minerals, is known for supporting stronger-feeling strands.
Transform your routine with natural hair tonics
Incorporating hair tonics into your daily or weekly hair routine can genuinely support the health and appearance of your hair, while offering a gentle, natural alternative to conventional hair products.
