## About
Pinch a leaf from the sage in a summer garden and you have the scent of this hydrosol: fresh, green and clean. Sage is one of the great herbs of the old herbals, and its water keeps much of that character.Our Sage Hydrosol is Salvia officinalis, organically produced in France. It is quite astringent, which makes it a wonderful toner for oily skin and a rinse for a very oily scalp. For a natural deodorant, blend it with witch hazel. It is a lively, stimulating water, one for the morning rather than the bedtime routine.Please read before use: avoid it in the first trimester of pregnancy and with high blood pressure. The hydrosol author Suzanne Catty warns that it will raise blood pressure; other authorities find no reference for this, but we would proceed with caution.DetailsBotanical name: Salvia officinalisOrigin: France, organically producedType: hydrosolHow to useAs a toner for oily skin, splashed or swept on after cleansingAs a rinse for a very oily scalpBlended with witch hazel as a natural deodorantIn the morning rather than at bedtime; for external useKeep it for the mornings, and let the garden wake you.
