Tulsi Sweetgrass Hydrosol

$34.00


Purify • Ground • Restore


Harmonizes with ALL skin, especially combination skin that fluctuates seasonally.

These two plants both remarkably have names that translate into “holy”— holy basil (Tulsi) and holy grass (Sweetgrass), connecting as an ethereal, protective mist that aims to purify & harmonize mind/body/place. Together, their aromatics impart spicy, sweet, soft green notes, featuring Sweetgrass that has been lovingly grown in our Pacific Northwest garden, along with a blend of Tulsi grown in our garden and by our local Organic farm partner. Both leaves were co-distilled right after harvesting, utilizing all fresh plant material to capture the precious cellular water during distillation.

The Hydrosol—

Physically: Helpful for wind-chapped skin, light cuts and scrapes. Mildly astringent, antibacterial & antifungal— helps to disperse & remove excess oil making it especially supportive for cleansing breakouts.

Emotionally: Wonderfully meditative, clearing, purifying & protective. Remedies frazzled nerves, boosts mood & calls in stable peace. Emotionally strengthening. Heart expanding.


Tulsi, Queen of the Herbs, has been used most prominently in sacred Ayurvedic traditions in India, and is said to harmonize the heart, mind, body and spirit. A high eugenol constituent is responsible for its distinctive scent- reminiscent of cinnamon, spicy clove, licorice and basil. Emotionally, it is most commonly worked with as a nervine, helping one remedy stress or frazzled nerves, while boosting mood and stamina. When worked with topically, it is considered antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral. Tulsi is astringent in nature, supporting skin by tightening and firming tissue. It has been worked with to clear respiratory pathways and purify a space, making it a lovely mist in the Fall/Winter cold seasons.

Sweetgrass is most referenced to be worked with as a sacred herb for prayer, ceremony, weaving, burning and cleansing native to First Nation peoples. Interestingly, Sweetgrass also has roots in traditional works by Northern Europeans as well, being laid down at the entrance of churches and sacred worship sites to impart purification and a vanilla-like scent through the air. It’s Latin name (Hierochloe odorata) literally translates to holy grass and it offers a green, subtly sweet, almost honeyed scent thanks to the main constituent, coumarin. It was also utilized in the making of alcoholic spirits in Poland, and to flavor various sweets and drinks with its distinct soft vanilla notes. Also referred to as bull grass, scent grass, and vanilla grass, it’s a plant that has been cultivated for 6,000 years by people cross-culturally in almost every continent (even found in Antarctica!). Energetically, it is considered one of the strongest clearing and protective plants. Topically, it has documented use in care for light scrapes and cuts as well as for minimizing light bleeding.


Best Use: Mist your Hydrosol onto a clean face or hands until saturated, and pat for ample hydration. For added moisture morning and night, follow by gently massaging SunRoot Solar Serum or Balm, and finish with another mist of your Hydrosol to lock in moisture. Feel free to spray anytime around yourself for energetic and mood support. Store in the fridge for extra cooling relief!

  • Hydrosols, also known as Distillates, are the subtle, and often aromatic waters resulting from slowly distilled plant material, and are some of nature's best antioxidants for the skin. Lovingly made using hand collected local spring water, combined with ethically wildcrafted and organically grown plant material, they are distilled in a traditional copper alembic still.

    Alchemists from all over the world have performed transformational distillations in these traditional stills for over 3,000 years, and this artisan process still remains the same! The actual method of performing our distillations has a 5-7 hour duration, a much slower process compared to more commercialized modes of skin care production. What results, is a nutrient-rich, energetic, and authentic Hydrosol, containing the plant's own suspended micro particles of essential oil, plant acids, even a plant's specific essence and memory imprint. Each offers its own unique botanical remedy dependent on the plant distilled, thus leading to the reference that a Hydrosol is a hologram of the plant itself!

    Hydrosols are incredibly gentle and well-suited for beings of all ages and sensitivities (including babies and pets alike). Wildcare Hydrosols are recommended as a daily facial toner, and play an important role in protecting and nourishing the skin from everyday pollutants. In addition to a being a supreme skin tonic, your Hydrosol may also be used as a holistic and energetic mist, scalp tonic, added to baths, and used in conjunction with our Clay Masks.

    Do Hydrosols smell like the essential oils I’m familiar with? 
    Sometimes yes — sometimes no. Through the process of distilling, a plant's aroma can shift greatly-- for example, distilled lavender smells more like sweet & earthy honey than the sharp and often crisp essential oil one is familiar with! To us, these variations are the beauty and art of distillation. The aromas vary from plant to plant, and can also shift batch to batch depending on where and when the plants are harvested. While some Hydrosols will have a much more subtle aroma than others, be assured they each carry their own supreme healing nutrients.

  • We recommend working with our products within 6 months of opening. Hydrosols are fragile by nature and require thoughtful care. The botanicals we use generally have a shelf life once distilled of 1-2 years, however various factors do play a role in its lifespan. We highly recommend storing your bottles in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, as well as keeping the contents sterile. This means keeping the cap on tight and using the mister top, keeping hands and other items out of the contents. Following these suggestions will keep it consistent to the scent at the time of purchase. We offer 2oz sizes of our Hydrosols for you to receive a small batch, fresh product that you can enjoy and follow with a new scent experience the next month. To read more on Hydrosols, click HERE.
