Hydrolats and floral waters are water-soluble volatile compounds extracted from the raw material and diluted in the distillation water. Their mass concentration varies widely, from 0.05% (or even less) to a few % (in very rare cases). This depends on the nature of the raw material and its metabolites.
Although hydrophilic compounds are present in greater proportions, the constituents present in the hydrosol are the same as those found in the corresponding essential oil.
