In the land of a thousand and one scents, spring is synonymous with abundance, freshness and lightness. No flower symbolizes the freshness of Morocco better than the orange blossom. Its white, fragrant flowers bloom on the orange trees, and it’s time to start picking. What sparkling secrets does this flower hide from us? The answers in this article:
With its characteristic essence, orange blossom is harvested only for three weeks during the month of April. Throughout Morocco, the distillation of orange blossom is a tradition passed down from generation to generation. The traditional process, in a ceremonial atmosphere of joy and youyous, consists of producing floral water in copper pots (stills) with a capacity of 2 to 10 kg of fresh flowers. This container is made up of three parts: The lower part contains the water which, when heated, produces the steam which passes through the flowers placed in the second chamber of the still.
The vapor charged with essential oils is then condensed using the cold water contained in the upper part of the still, then recovered in liquid form, in another container.
At Prodigia, the freshness and bewitching essence of this floral water is optimized through our laboratory steam distillation process. To make 1 liter of hydrosol, 1 kilo of flowers is necessary, we speak of a 1/1 ratio. This minimal extraction ratio guarantees an intense olfactory rendering, better conservation and above all a high concentration of aromatic molecules in the hydrosol, a guarantee of its quality.
Orange blossom water, also called Neroli or Citrus aurantium, is especially indicated for normal and dry skin, for mature skin, and delicate skin. It is particularly suitable for dry skin and sensitive skin of babies. It is also recommended for dull and lackluster complexions, as one of its properties is to restore radiance and light to the complexion.
And this is not the only property of orange blossom hydrosol; it is regenerating, brightening, fruity and refreshing. A gentle tonic, it delicately soothes and refreshes the skin. It is also used for its properties on the nervous system: it calms, reassures, and makes it easier for adults and children to fall asleep.
This miracle water can be used alone, sprayed directly on the face, or incorporated into your preparations. It goes perfectly with body and face masks: its delicious fruity fragrance enhances the scent of the mask. It is also ideal for making scented massage oils: orange blossom water is the royalty of synergies.
