Smells so green and clean

"Love this hydrosol. It's one of my favorites."

— Sherry B. (5/5)

Fresh and crispy

"I made face washes and face moisturizers and it turned out luxurious and very fresh. One can tell that it doesn't smell like artificial fragrance but a real fresh crispy cucumber scent. Ordering again for sure and thank you for this hydrosol."

— Ana (5/5)

seperated- then got FUNKY

"I had followed this recipe exactly, and it had separated, leaving a weird layer of pink liquid on top, just like other reviews had stated. I hadn't put it out to sell to be cautious and I'm glad I didn't because it started to grow fuzzies inside, even with the preservative and OCD sanitation!"

Q&A

Can I use it on my face without mixing anything? Thanks: Yes, you can use this product directly on your face.
Can I add this to your gentle face cream? I notice when I add the extract it starts to smell rancid after a couple of weeks?: Yes, it can be added to this lotion base. The maximum amount of additives (which includes fragrance) is 5%.
How is this hydrosol collected (steam distilled?) and after opening is it best to refrigerate?: It is steam distilled and preserved so refrigeration is not necesarry.
What is the difference between this and cucumber extract? I am curious of the difference in how it's made, and I'm curious about what different property is the liquid it's self has? Are they both going to give the same results in a recipe and feel the same on the skin?: Cucumber Extract is cucumber fruit extract suspended in glycerin. The hydrosol is cucumber fruit infused in water. They both pack the benefits of cucumber fruit. The extract is typically used in small quantities in receipts while the hydrosol can replace the full amount of water used in your recipes.
If I use this as the liquid for a wet paste pre mixed face mask containing Rose Kaolin Clay, Powdered Honey, Oatmeal and Cocoa Powder, will I need to add a preservative prior to packaging?: We would recommend you do so, yes.
