Orange blossom: water and extract are not substitutes

Two bottles can share a flower without being equivalent. Understanding water and extract helps avoid substituting one for the other in a care step or recipe.

The orange blossom extract comes in a 10 ml bottle; its label lists orange blossom extract, ethanol and water. The floral water is a separate product. Here are the details that help you tell them apart when choosing.

Ask what ‘extract’ means here

The label on this preparation lists orange blossom extract, ethanol and water. The word alone specifies neither a dilution ratio nor whether the product is intended for food or cosmetic use. Consult this bottle’s information before deciding how to use it.

Orange blossom water is a separate choice

The floral water has its own directions. Do not replace it with an equal amount of extract in food or care. The Orange Blossom family helps you find both products while keeping that distinction clear.
