Fragrance is one of the first impressions a consumer has when testing a new formulation. It is therefore very important to choose a complementary fragrance for any base blend. We provide a solution to ensure you make the most of this initial sensory impact.

EarthOil by Univar Solutions sources pure and natural essential oils from around the world. They were brought together here in key families according to the scent that characterizes them.

EarthOil by Univar Solutions is proud to represent Down Under Enterprises and their range of native Australian hydrosols.

Hydrosols are the natural by-product produced during the steam distillation of essential oils. This traditional process is carried out using modern equipment and materials, but the process itself would be recognised by producers of essential oils from centuries ago. The hydrosols, as the name suggests, are the saturated solutions of the plant’s water soluble components and would otherwise be waste product from the distillation process. This produces a delicately fragranced water that is stable, reproducible, and can be used to achieve high ‘natural content’ concentrations in personal care products as a water replacement, as well as for floral waters, misters, and bath products.

APPLICATIONS

Hydrosols are a great way to include water-soluble plant’s components into beauty products. Easy to formulate, they can be used in a variety of personal care formulations such as:

• Facial toner and mist
• Bath fragrance
• Make-up remover
• Face creams and masks
• Hair care
• Face and body cream
