the queen of hungary water story /

born from centuries-old herbal lore, queen of hungary water was said to be a garden-gifted tonic—an infusion of rosemary, rose, and sun-soaked botanicals used for clarity, radiance, and renewal. over time, it became a beloved remedy across europe, with many iterations, and many stories. some original formulas were made by steeping botanicals in vinegar or strong spirits—effective, but harsh. our version honors that old-world essence while softening it into something more approachable for modern ritual: lemon balm hydrosol for bright spirit and gentle skin support, and witch hazel infused with herbs to balance and tone. its a simple and refreshing companion to begin the day nourishing skin and mood.
