Toning, soothing, and made for problem skin.
Yarrow Hydrosol is a wonderfully versatile botanical mist for skin that tends to be irritated, red, blemish-prone, or just generally unhappy.
Copper-distilled from certified organic yarrow (Achillea millefolium) grown by American farmers, this traditional skin herb is known for its naturally soothing and astringent properties. Use it as a daily facial toner, mist it over the body, or keep it nearby for those random little areas of skin that could use some extra attention.
It's also one of our favorite hydrosols after shaving, time outside, or whenever skin feels hot, itchy, or irritated.
Nothing added. Just freshly distilled yarrow and all of its earthy, herbal goodness.
Aroma: Herbal + floral, subtly sweet with a mildly bitter, earthy finish
How to use
How to use
Mist generously over clean skin and allow it to absorb, or follow while skin is still slightly damp with your favorite Urban Farm serum, balm, or moisturizer.
Use morning or evening as a facial toner, mist over blemish-prone or irritated areas of the body, or use after shaving and time outdoors when skin could use a little extra soothing.
For targeted areas, saturate a clean cotton pad or cloth with Yarrow Hydrosol and hold it against the skin as a cool botanical compress.
For the Milk + Pearl Dust Mask: Add a small amount of mask powder to your palm or a bowl and spritz with Yarrow Hydrosol until you reach a creamy consistency. Add a drizzle of raw honey if desired, apply, and rinse after 10–15 minutes.

Benefits
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) | Yarrow has a long history of topical use and contains naturally occurring botanical compounds including flavonoids and other polyphenols. It has traditionally been valued for soothing, toning, and caring for irritated skin.
Toning + Astringent | Yarrow is naturally astringent, making its hydrosol especially nice as a toner for oily, combination, or blemish-prone complexions.
Irritated-Looking Skin | Yarrow has traditionally been used topically for skin that appears red, irritated, or uncomfortable, making this a useful hydrosol to keep around for more than just your daily skincare routine.
Blemish-Prone Skin | Its toning and cleansing properties make Yarrow Hydrosol a great option for complexions prone to excess oil, congestion, and blemishes.
After-Shave Care | Mist over freshly shaved skin for a lightweight, cooling botanical step without adding heavy oils or synthetic fragrance.
Outdoor Skin Care | A refreshing botanical mist to keep on hand after gardening, hiking, working outside, or anytime skin feels itchy or irritated after time outdoors.
Water-Based Hydration | Hydrosols provide lightweight water-based hydration and pair beautifully with oil-based serums and balms. Mist first, then follow with your moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp.
Copper-Distilled | Traditionally copper-distilled from freshly harvested certified organic yarrow grown by American farmers.

Why we love it
Why we love it
Yarrow is less of a pretty-smelling hydrosol and more of a keep-this-one-around hydrosol.
It's traditionally been used for skin for generations, and we especially love it for blemish-prone, red, irritated, or itchy skin. Mist it on your face as a toner, use it after shaving, spray it on bug-bitten skin after being outside, or just keep it around for those random irritated spots that pop up.
The aroma is definitely herbal and earthy, which fits this one perfectly. It's simple, practical botanical skincare and a really good one to have in the bathroom cabinet.
