What are Madame d'Alexis's orange blossom hydrosol-based skincare products?
What is orange blossom?
Origin and history
Orange blossom(also known as bitter orange blossom orCitrus aurantium amara) is the flower of the bitter orange tree, a citrus fruit native to Southeast Asia.
Cultivated for centuries in the Mediterranean, particularly in Tunisia, Morocco, and Spain, it is renowned for its exceptional cosmetic properties.
Unlike the sweet orange, the bitter orange tree produces an intensely fragrant flower, rich in precious aromatic molecules.
Since ancient times, women in the Middle East and North Africa have used orange blossom to enhance their skin and hair. Also known as "neroli," this flower is a true treasure trove of natural beauty.
Orange blossom hydrosol: Definition
Orange blossom hydrosol(also known as floral water or orange blossom water) is a natural product obtained bysteam distillationofbitter orangeflowers. Unlike essential oil, hydrosol is water-based and much milder, making it ideal for direct, daily use on the hair.

- More resistant→Better mechanical strength
- Healthier→Fewer split ends, less frizz
- More durable→Hair that ages better
How orange blossom hydrosol moisturizes
Orange blossom hydrosol acts onseveral levels:
1️⃣Immediate surface hydration
The hydrophilic aromatic molecules in the hydrosol quickly penetrate the outer layers of the hair fiber, providing immediate and visible hydration.
Result: Hair is more supple and easier to style immediately after application.
2️⃣Deep hydration of the fiber
Combined withcationic hyaluronic acid (present in Madame D'Alexis formulas), the hydrosol moisturizes deep into the fiber, creating long-lasting hydration.
Result: Long-lasting hydration, stronger and more resilient hair.
3️⃣Strengthening the hydrolipidic barrier
The hydrosol tones and strengthens the natural barrier of the fiber, reducing moisture loss.
Result: Long-lasting hydration, hair that stays moisturized longer between washes.

Restore natural shine
Why hair loses its shine
Hair becomes dull when:
- The cuticle is rough and misaligned.
- The fiber is dehydrated.
- Residues accumulate on the surface
- The fiber is damaged or broken
- Scalp circulation is slowed down
How orange blossom hydrosol restores radiance
1️⃣Smoothes the hair cuticle
Orange blossom hydrosol, thanks to itsnaturally acidic pH (4.5-5.5), smooths the cuticle and improves the alignment of the scales.
Result: Better light reflection, immediate and visible shine.
2️⃣Hydrates and plumps the fiber
A well-hydrated fiber is a fiber that shines naturally. Hydrosol provides the moisture needed to restore shine.
Result: Natural, long-lasting shine without an artificial effect.
3️⃣Removes residue and pollution
The hydrosol purifies the fiber, removing product residue and pollution that dull the hair.
Result: Hair that is shinier, purer, and more radiant.
4️⃣Stimulates scalp regeneration
A healthy scalp produces healthier, shinier hair. Hydrosol tones and revitalizes the scalp.
Result: More beautiful hair from the roots, with restored natural shine.

Madame D'Alexis products made with orange blossom

The science behind hydrosols: Why they are revolutionary
A 100% active aqueous phase, never diluted
Whereas conventional skincare products contain up to 90% inert water, Madame D'Alexis replaces every drop withorganic active hydrosols, naturally rich in aromatic molecules, minerals, antioxidants, and hydrophilic active ingredients.
Result: More concentrated, more effective formulas that are immediately sensual.
Cuticular affinity and superior penetration
Hydrosols have a small molecular size, which allows them to:
- Faster penetration into the first layers of the fiber
- Improved cuticle slip (shine)
- Improved diffusion of hydrophilic assets (hyaluronic acid, probiotics, prebiotics)
Result: The hydrosol acts as a bioactive vector that optimizes the formula's performance.
Bio-compatibility with the scalp microbiome
The acidic pH of hydrosols (4.5-5.5) maintains an environment favorable to skin flora. They contain natural anti-inflammatory compounds (rose, chamomile, orange blossom) that reduce irritation.
Result: An essential function for long-term hair growth and health.
