FunctionSkin Conditioning

What it is — Acorus Calamus Rhizome Water (INCI: Acorus Calamus Rhizome Water) is a hydrosol made from the rhizome of sweet flag, a plant long used in traditional Korean hair care.

What it does — It serves as a botanical conditioning water that contributes to the comfortable, traditional "herbal" feel associated with Korean scalp-care shampoos.

Typical use — Found in Korean scalp and hair-care formulas, typically within the water phase alongside other botanical waters.

Who it suits / good to know — A traditional botanical carrier suited to most scalp types; it is used at hydrosol concentration, not as the concentrated root oil.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: used here as a dilute rhizome water rather than concentrated calamus oil, with no EWG hazard data on record. General information, not medical advice.
