What will happen if the hydrosol is not protected from light? The hydrosol should be stored in dark bottles

Another name for hydrosol is water essential oil, which is a by-product in the essential oil extraction process. It is stored strictly away from light. So, why avoid light? What will happen if the hydrosol is not protected from light?

What will happen if the hydrosol is not protected from light?

If the hydrosol is not protected from light, it will easily evaporate and lose its effect. Hydrosol is in the form of transparent water, and its molecules are extremely small. They are easily evaporated when exposed to sunlight. High temperature may also change its composition and weaken its efficacy. Therefore, hydrosol must be stored away from light to ensure its lifespan.

Why should the hydrosol be kept away from light?

Because its molecular structure is so small and its texture is too thin, it must not be exposed to sunlight, and the best way to preserve it is to store it away from light.

Shelf life of hydrosol

1 year. Because of the special production process of hydrosol, the shelf life of the best hydrosol is very short. To ensure that every drop of hydrosol is fresh and pure, it is best to use it up within 3 months after opening the cap!

How to store hydrosol away from light

Hydrosols are usually stored in dark bottles because they have a certain light-shielding property and can block some sunlight. If they are replaced with transparent glass bottles, this effect will be completely lost. Sunlight will cause the hydrosol to heat up, which will not only easily cause evaporation but also destroy the original material composition of the hydrosol and weaken its moisturizing effect.

It must be noted that in order to make the hydrosol attract attention, some merchants on the market will directly package the hydrosol in glass bottles. The packaging is beautiful but not practical at all. When purchasing hydrosol, you must pay more attention to the bottle.
