Product Description
Gentler than the essential oil is myrtle water, which can also be used for colds. It has expectorant, germicidal, and anti-inflammatory properties and clears the airways.
The mild myrtle water can also help treat irritated and inflamed eyes. Here in the Algarve, the hot, dry, and dusty air, combined with contact lenses, often leads to irritated eyes; an eye compress with cooled myrtle water is a real refreshment and a welcome relief.
The refreshing and moisturizing effect also benefits the skin. Since the 16th century, myrtle water, known as Eau d’Anges (Angel Water), has been a popular beauty product in France and Italy. It is suitable for cleansing and caring for sensitive and dry skin, has a skin-firming effect, and clarifies blemished and oily skin.
