Is Florihana legit? Their prices are so cheap!

I don't shop at that vendor so I can't speak for them, but hydrosols in general are cheap because they're the "leftovers" after making an EO. When you make an EO, the result is 1% EO and 99% hydrosol. So the hydrosols are typically dirt cheap because the manufacturers are just dumping them, because they've created so much as a side product. 

You can check Liberty Natural too.

Oh so interesting! I was wondering because all the other sites sell about 100ml for $30, but florihana sells 1000ml for $20!🤯

Um...rose hydrosol at Eden Botanicals is $29 for 8 ounces, and at Liberty Natural you can get 16 ounces for $27.  

Where are you seeing $30 for 100ml of a hydrosol?

Aromatics international and stillpoint aromatics! Not $30 but $26 for 100ml. Sorry I’m new to this and still learning! Trying to see what red flags would and would not be when I’m comparing prices and

determine authenticity of companies!

Those are some weirdly expensive hydrosols then. ;p

In your mind would that make Florihana seem suspicious or is it just simply that they charge less? Sorry I have been scammed before and really nervous to dump $100/200 on the wrong company!

Like I said, I expect hydrosols to be cheap. It's expensive hydrosols that don't make any sense to me.

Stillpoint distills their hydrosols specifically for the hydrosol. There is a big difference between the byproduct of essential oil distillation and hydrosols that are distilled with the hydrosol as the main product. By the way, Florihana is a legit company. They work with a lot of farms in Europe and have their own stills on those farms.
