About this product
A hard day, a moment alone, and a cool spritz of something brisk and lemony over the face. Melissa hydrosol is lemon balm at its gentlest: both uplifting and relaxing, it is recommended for times of emotional upheaval, and its scent and flavor are refreshing and revitalizing.
It comes from organically produced Melissa officinalis grown in the USA. Because melissa essential oil can irritate the skin, the hydrosol is the gentler way to bring the plant into skin care: it is a fine toner and astringent for oily skin, and lovely as a morning toner. Some keep it in the kitchen too, adding a teaspoon to their water bottle each day for its bright, lemon-like taste.
