Our Organic Yarrow Hydrosol is meticulously steam distilled from the fresh aerial flower tops by expert artisanal distillers who distill specifically for the hydrosol. It is not distilled as a byproduct of essential oil production. Distilled using copper alembic stills, our Organic Yarrow Hydrosol does not have the unpleasant "still note" that hydrosols can have when they are produced using stainless steel equipment. Distillation using copper stills may also help the hydrosol be more resistant to microbial growth.
Our artisan distillation partner maintains strict organic certification, sustainability, ethical, sterilization and distillation procedures. As with all of our organic ingredients, our Organic Yarrow Hydrosol is certified organic by CCOF, a USDA-accredited certifying agency.
Commonly known as Yarrow, the species Achillea millefolium is a hardy, flowering perennial that is native to temperate regions of North America and the Northern Hemisphere. Yarrow produces compact aromatic flowers that tend to be predominantly white or yellow.
Yarrow possesses a remarkable number of therapeutic and wellness benefits. This revered botanical has been used and praised for thousands of years by many societies, and it holds a special place within many cultures and traditions. The genus name Achillea is attributed to Achilles, a Greek warrior and hero that is said to have administered yarrow to his wounded soldiers. Yarrow has been mentioned repeatedly throughout history. One of the oldest reports claims that Yarrow was discovered inside a burial ground dated to the Neanderthal period.
