Lovage hydrolat — a natural toner for skin and hair care

Lovage hydrolat (Levisticum officinale) is a 100% natural floral water obtained by steam distillation of the fresh greens of the medicinal plant lovage. This natural toner combines the powerful action of phytoncides, organic acids and trace elements, which affect the skin and hair gently but effectively.

The value of the hydrolat lies in its ability to regulate oiliness, soothe irritation, tighten pores and restore the skin’s natural balance. It is also used in scalp care, especially for increased oiliness, itching and inflammatory spots.

What is lovage and why is it useful?

Lovage is a perennial aromatic spice plant of the celery family, known in Ukraine as “love herb”. In folk medicine it is used to stimulate circulation, cleanse the skin and normalise digestion. In cosmetology it is used to soothe sensitive skin, cleanse pores and restore tone.

The distilled floral water of lovage keeps all these properties, but in a much milder and safer form. This is why the hydrolat is suitable even for daily use.

🟢 cleanses and visibly tightens pores
🟢 soothes inflammation and irritation

🌿 Good to know: traditions of using lovage in cosmetics and medicine

Lovage (Levisticum officinale) is one of the oldest and most respected medicinal plants in European phytotherapy. It has long been used in traditional medicine not only as a means of cleansing the body but also as a plant of beauty and attractiveness. In Ukrainian traditions lovage was called the “herb of love”: its decoctions were added to girls’ baths because it was believed to “enchant” and give the skin freshness and glow.

The roots and greens of lovage were used to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, treat skin diseases and calm the nervous system. Infusions were used for swelling, headaches and digestive problems. The aroma of the plant was considered cleansing, for both the body and the emotional state.

In modern cosmetology, lovage extracts and lovage hydrolat are actively used for the care of oily, problem and sensitive skin. Thanks to its natural content of phytoncides, organic acids and antioxidants, it acts gently without disturbing the hydrolipid balance.

A particular advantage of the hydrolat is its versatility: it suits the face, body and hair, has no contraindications for daily use and does not need rinsing. It is a modern answer to the demand for simple, clean and effective products with a proven history.
