After Sun Body Mist

My goal in formulating our After Sun Body Mist was for it to mild, yet still have powerful healing action! Mission accomplished!
Key ingredient: Specially chosen hydrosols listed below. What is a hydrosol? Hydrosols are sometimes referred to as hydrolats, distillate waters or floral waters. They are produced through the same process as essential oils therefore they contain micro-droplets of the essential oil during the distillation process. Contrary to their volatile essential oil counterparts, hydrosols are gentle and safe to use, while still reaping the benefits of the plant matter.
Aloe barbadensis (aloe) hydrosol water. Aloe is known as the medicine plant! Aloe is often used to treat burns, infections and accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
Hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) hydrosol water. Witch hazel has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help bring relief to overheated and most likely inflamed areas that have suffered damage from the sun.
Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) hydrosol water. Lavender carries numerous benefits. To name just a few- It helps calm irritation and reduce redness, and has been known to help alleviate pain.
Mentha piperita (peppermint) hydrosol water. Peppermint is naturally cool, and it helps soothe, while also helping to remove pain from inflamed skin, making it feel refreshed.
Achillea millefolium (Yarrow) hydrosol water. Yarrow’s benefits are similar with those mentioned above. It has wonderful anti-inflammatory, analgesic properties, but it’s also well known to help relieve itching and irritation.
Plantago lanceolata (Plantain) hydrosol water. I love Plantain!! Plantain has been used for centuries, and throughout many cultures in the world. The Saxon’s considered it one of their nine sacred herbs, as it carries a long list of healing benefits. (We use a plantain infusion in our Mom’s Kisses First Aid Salve)
Rosa damascene(Rose) is known for its pleasing scent and skin-soothing benefits.
Honeyquat: A a humectant which is derived from honey without the stickiness. It is conditioning and moisturizing.
Vitamin B5: I chose this ingredient because it acts as a humectant. (It hydrates by drawing water from the atmosphere to your skin.) I have found claims that suggest it helps to reduce redness and inflammation It helps mitigate itching and soothes irritation.

Keep this product refrigerated for an extra cooling effect!
