Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it confused with lemongrass or citronella?
Yes, confusion is frequent. Melissa (Melissa officinalis), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), and citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) have similar lemony-herbaceous aromas, but they are completely different plants. Melissa is a plant from the mint family, with a finer and sweeter aromatic profile compared to the other two, and with a long history of use in traditional phytotherapy.
Does it contain alcohol?
Our product is 100% pure distillate, with no added alcohol or preservatives.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Yes, melissa floral water is considered safe for external use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, unlike its homonymous essential oil, which requires additional precautions during these periods.
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.
