Elderflower Hydrolate organic

The deciduous elder bush is a shrub up to 10 metres high. The numerous, large umbel flowers in spring and early summer exude a wonderfully sweet aroma and are often used to make syrup or the dessert elderberry grapes. If the flowers are left on the tree, large, heavy umbels with many small black elderberries form in the course of the summer, which are very good for steaming. Important - do not eat raw!

Among the Germanic tribes, the elder tree was considered sacred and was dedicated to the protective domestic goddess Frau Holle. Freya, the protector of house and farm, is said to live in the elder bush and also hold her protective hand over farm and fields. Even today, you can find elderberry bushes in many farmer's gardens and next to stables and barns, which are said to provide protection.

The organic elderflower hydrolate offered here is obtained by steam distillation of the flowering elderberry umbels and exudes a delicate, delicately flowery fragrance. In natural cosmetics, elderflower hydrolate is recommended for skin problems, skin irritations and acne. It is very mild, has a flowery scent and is also very popular with children for refreshment and cooling. As a refreshing spray, facial cleansing product, in bath water or as a raw material for the preparation of creams and lotions, organic elderberry hydrolate is wonderfully suitable.
