1. Definitions

Although increasingly used by both industry and the general public, hydrolats and floral waters are still poorly understood natural ingredients, subject to confusion and even error.

The term hydrolat comes from the Latin hydro, meaning water, and the Old French lat, meaning milk. This terminology can be traced back to the milky cloudiness of hydrolats just after steam distillation (figure 1 ).
