Most cosmetic formulations begin with purified water.
Ours begin with a plant.
Before becoming part of a formulation, every Botanical Water already carries the subtle character of the botanical from which it was distilled.
The Simplicity Behind the Distillation
Every Phaedrae Botanical Water begins with one certified organic botanical and spring water.
Produced through slow steam distillation in Occitanie, France, they preserve the aromatic water naturally released by the plant itself—without blending, dilution, or added fragrance.
Every Botanical Water begins long before the bottle.
In the quiet meeting of a plant, spring water, and steam.
One Botanical. One Origin.
One Botanical. One Origin.
This Botanical Water reflects a single plant, one harvest, and one place.
Rather than beginning a formulation with purified water, it begins with the aromatic water naturally obtained during distillation. The result is remarkably simple in composition, yet rich in botanical character.
