Hydrosols
Shampoo Fra Mundo makes all her products with medicinal hydrosols. This is a water-based product made from destilation of flowers, fruits, plants and herbs.
Hydrosols are medicinal, cooling, anti-inflammaotry, moisturizing and help to restore the pH-value of the skin. Each product has its own unique beneficial properties for your hair and skin. Hydrosols can be very suitable for eldery, children and pregnant woman as well.
It is a very slow process. By steamdestillation in the copper kettle (see image) the ingredients are extracted from the plant.
