Melissa officinalis L. — Lemon Balm Hydrosol, Melissa Hydrosol
Melissa floral water is the pure hydrosol produced as a co-distillate during steam distillation of Melissa officinalis leaves and flowering tops from Bioform's own certified organic plantations. It captures the water-soluble citral and citronellal-derived compounds of lemon balm in a gentle aqueous form — delivering the plant's characteristic fresh, lemony-herbaceous character at a concentration appropriate for direct skin application and formulation.
Because genuine Melissa essential oil is extraordinarily expensive and produced in very small quantities, the floral water offers a more accessible route to authentic Melissa actives for formulators who do not require the concentration of the essential oil. Bioform's hydrosol is never reconstituted or blended with cheaper lemon-scented alternatives — it is the true co-distillate of our own certified organic Melissa crop, with full batch documentation supplied as standard.
