Description

Blackcurrant Water Organic (Ribes nigrum) is obtained through the distillation of blackcurrant branches and leaves, not from the fruit, which explains its distinct aromatic profile compared to what one might anticipate. This pure hydrosol preserves the aromatic fraction and water-soluble compounds of the plant. With a naturally slightly acidic pH and a fresh, fruity-green aroma, it is an excellent product for daily balancing and refreshing of the skin without being aggressive.

Unlike concentrated extracts, the hydrosol offers a gentle action, being composed of organic acids, micro-traces of volatile substances, and a fine infusion of water-soluble antioxidants. On the face, it acts as a toner with a firming effect, indicated for mature skin, lacking tone, or affected by oxidative stress. It is well tolerated by all skin types and contributes to a fresher and more revitalized appearance of the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does it smell like the blackcurrant fruit?
The scent of blackcurrant water does not resemble that of the mature fruit or juice. It is a subtle, slightly tangy scent, more understated than that of the fruits, typical of hydrosols obtained from branches or leaves.

Does it contain alcohol?
Our product is 100% pure distillate, with no added alcohol or preservatives.

Is it the same as blackcurrant extract?
No. Blackcurrant extract is obtained through maceration and contains a much higher concentration of anthocyanins, flavonoids, and polyphenols. The hydrosol is obtained through distillation and contains specific aromatic molecules at lower concentrations. The two are complementary ingredients, not interchangeable.

Safety in use
Floral waters are renowned for their excellent skin tolerance. Allergic reactions are extremely rare. However, as with any natural product that may naturally contain traces of substances considered allergens, hypersensitive individuals should perform a tolerance test (patch test) in the bend of the elbow 24 hours before use. Cosmetic product exclusively for external use.

Storage, preservation
Natural floral waters, which contain no alcohol or preservatives, are sensitive to contamination. Keep the bottle tightly closed, in a cool place away from light. We recommend storing it in the refrigerator, especially during the summer, to maintain its freshness.
