A hydrosol or botanical leaf water derived from Myrtus communis.

Risks & Warnings

May trigger irritation or sensitivity in fragrance-reactive skin because myrtle materials can contain volatile aromatic constituents. Botanical waters can vary significantly by source and preservation system, so tolerability is formula-dependent.
