Lemon Verbena, the first plant I ever distilled and stole my heart. Misting your face with these floral waters feels like a tropical vacation in a bottle while hydrating, cleansing and protecting your skin at the same time.

Lemon verbena is anti-microbial and contains a compound called linalool that can help during a fungal or bacterial skin infection, like staphylococcus aureus or cutibacterium acnes (the bacteria linked to acne) by inhibiting bacteria from communicating and colonizing with each other. For these reasons you could also use this hydrosol under your arms to help with the bacteria responsible for body odor.

Lemon verbena's citrus floral waters helps your skin balance it's natural oils and gently cleanse and calm inflamed skin that's prone to blemishes. Lemon verbena can protect your skin from photo-aging, lessening age spots and wrinkles because of its citral compounds. The antioxidant properties of citral neutralize free radicals so they cannot damage skin tissue, protecting them from oxidative stress.
