Latin name: Centaurea cyanus
Plant part used: Flowering tops
Origin: France

Wild Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), also known as “Bleuet des Champs” or “cornflower of the harvest,” is a delicate flowering plant originally native to the Middle East. Over time, it spread across temperate regions of the world, following the expansion of cereal crops in cultivated fields.

This slender plant, growing up to 50 cm tall in rich, light soils, has long been admired for its vivid blue flowers and gentle presence in traditional herbal practices. Unfortunately, wild cornflower has become increasingly rare in natural landscapes, gradually diminished by modern agricultural practices.

Among its many nicknames, cornflower is sometimes called “Lights,” reflecting the historical appreciation for its botanical connection to visual clarity.

Wild Cornflower Organic Hydrosol is artisanally distilled from fresh flowers, capturing the subtle, floral aroma in a pure, gentle floral water. Traditionally, cornflower hydrosol is appreciated in natural skincare and personal care routines, as well as a culinary accent in light, fresh dishes.

Essenciagua’s Wild Cornflower Organic Hydrosol honors this botanical heritage, offering a pure and sustainable floral water for natural beauty and sensory enjoyment.

Hydrosols are created in the same process as essential oils - through gentle steam distillation. When steam passes through the fresh plant material, it carries with it both the essential oil and water-soluble aromatic molecules from the plant.

Once cooled, the essential oil naturally separates and rises to the surface, while the aromatic water underneath is the hydrosol. This hydrosol is pure spring water enriched with the plant’s own active compounds - like a delicate imprint of the whole plant.

The distillation process is slow and careful, allowing the hydrosol to gather all the lighter and heavier aromatic notes so that it becomes a complete, true reflection of the plant. Afterward, it’s gently filtered and bottled - nothing else is added. No preservatives, no alcohol, no synthetic fragrances.

This is why a plant hydrosol is not just ‘flavored water,’ but a living extract full of the plant’s natural vibrancy, carrying both therapeutic and sensory qualities.

Essenciagua prioritizes sustainability in packaging by using recyclable PET bottles, free from phthalates and bisphenols.
