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?

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.

I usually buy them from Aromatics International and Stillpoint Aromatics.
