Sandalwood Hydrosol — The Calming, Skin-Soothing Floral Mist
Sandalwood has been treasured for centuries for its soothing, balancing, and aromatic properties. At Solstice Skinfood, we use organic Sandalwood Hydrosol — a delicate, floral water derived from the steam distillation of Sandalwood (Santalum album) wood — to bring gentle hydration, calming benefits, and a serene sensory experience to your skincare routine.
What is Sandalwood Hydrosol?
Sandalwood Hydrosol is the water by-product of the steam distillation process used to extract Sandalwood essential oil. It contains many of the same skin-loving compounds, including antioxidants, anti-inflammatory molecules, and subtle aromatic constituents, but in a gentle, water-based form that is perfect for sensitive skin.
Unlike essential oil, the hydrosol is lightweight, non-irritating, and safe for daily use, providing a natural way to calm and nourish the skin.

Supports Skin Barrier: Helps strengthen and protect delicate skin
Aromatic Relaxation: The subtle woody scent provides a calming, grounding sensory experience

Sensory Experience
Sandalwood Hydrosol has a delicate, woody aroma that instantly promotes calm and relaxation. Its light, water-like texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling refreshed, balanced, and lightly hydrated.
