About this product
A tall glass of ice water on a hot afternoon, and a splash of something that tastes of Earl Grey. Clary sage hydrosol is gentle and delicious, tasting the way bergamot essential oil smells. It is the herbal water of Salvia sclarea, organically produced in the USA, and its principal components are linalyl acetate and linalool.
Like the essential oil, it is an uplifting water, and we are told it has a place in May wine alongside the better-known sweet woodruff. For skin, hydrosol expert Suzanne Catty blends it with peppermint, rose or geranium hydrosol for a gently astringent toner. Aromatherapy author Shirley Price calls it astringent and suitable for very oily skin, and writes that it improves the look of mature skin.
