Welcoming three new HydroSouls: Sweetgrass, German Chamomile and Yarrow

 

Recently our evanhealy team joined forces with our sales and education team in the radiant wilds of northeastern Washington state for our annual Distillation Gathering.

During this event we harvested and distilled three new magical plants that capture the sunlight and dreaminess of the soul of summer. These plants, organically grown and copper-distilled by our cherished artisan distillers, Jud and Anne, thrive along the Columbia River Valley. This remarkable land nurtures the plants that become so many of our diverse family of botanical ingredients. We are so excited to introduce these new plant waters with you. Get to know the latest additions to our HydroSoul Family below. These new HydroSouls will be COMING VERY SOON, so stay tuned!

 

German Chamomile

Ideal for highly reactive, red, irritated, and dehydrated skin

Chamomile takes care of you. When your body and spirit are in need of gentle care, turn to sweet and constant Chamomile. Chamomile is comfort, compassion and understanding. Even its botanical name, Matricaria, is derived from the Latin word for mother: mater

Chamomile HydroSoul is a mist of comfort for all troubled skin, no matter what the root. Mama-Chamomile brings peace, soothing, and serenity to troubled, reactive, sensitive, flaky, dehydrated, hot, and red skin.

Its sweetly herbaceous scent is reminiscent of sun-warmed fields, tea with a delicate swirl of honey, and that delightful whisper of apples that is so classically characteristic of chamomile.

The cool sweet waters of Chamomile HydroSoul will soothe your skin woes and comfort your heart.

Yarrow

Ideal for irritated, red, sensitive, and blemished skin.

~ Regenerative, healing, and quietly powerful ~

Yarrow cares for you. When your skin and spirit need deep healing, turn to the enduring strength of Yarrow. Yarrow is resilience, restoration and balance.

Nobel Yarrow's tale is intimately intertwined with human history. Discovered among other medicinal plants in a Neanderthal burial site from approximately 60,000 BC, yarrow has long stood as one of humanity's earliest and most cherished herbal companions. Its legend is rich, such as the myth of Achilles receiving yarrow from the wise centaur Chiron to heal his battlefield wounds—a story echoed in its Latin name. From the valor of ancient warriors to the delicate care of modern skincare, yarrow continues to prove its power to stop bleeding, combat infection, and soothe the skin. 

Yarrow HydroSoul is a mist of renewal for all troubled skin and truly a wound healer. Yarrow brings a sense of gentle strength to all troubled skin.

Sweetgrass

Ideal for dull, stressed, and energy-stagnant skin

~ Uplifting, refreshing, and spiritually grounding ~

Sweetgrass nurtures you. When your skin and spirit need a lift, turn to the ancient grace of Sweetgrass. Sweetgrass is rejuvenation, clarity and spiritual connection. 

Sweetgrass is known as the hair of Mother Earth. It is one of the four sacred herbs of indigenous North American peoples and is represented in the East on the traditional medicine wheel. It was also strewn throughout churches in medieval Europe so that the sweet smell rose with each footstep. In fact, humans have been cultivating sweetgrass for over 6,000 years! In Greek, hierochloe literally means “holy grass.” It is perfect to use when clearing spaces for meditation, prayer, and ritual. Additionally, it is an excellent alternative to burning sweet grass braids if smoke must be avoided.

Sweetgrass HydroSoul is a mist of brightness for all weary skin, rejuvenating and refreshing your complexion. Sweetgrass uplifts, hydrates, and heals, infusing your skin with vitality and light.

The invigorating spirit of Sweetgrass HydroSoul will brighten your skin and elevate your senses.
