PY’STILL

A French pioneer in natural plant extracts

Pystill, established in 2023, operates as a cosmetic lab specialized in the production of organic hydrolats and floral waters in Bagnères-de-Bigorre, France.

Specialized production process

At the heart of the Pyrenees mountains, Pystill employs hydrodistillation techniques to create both standard (1:1) and concentrated (10:1 to 30:1) hydrolats. The company follows strict Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines throughout its weekly production cycle.

Natural sourcing approach

The company sources its raw materials through three distinct channels:

• Organic cultivation at Hourquet’s domain
• Partnerships with French organic aromatic and medicinal plant producers
• Sustainable wild harvesting in the Pyrenees by specialized gatherers

Strategic mountain location

Located in the Hautes-Pyrénées department of Occitanie, the processing facility benefits from direct access to mountain flora. The nearby agroforestry estate supports sustainable plant production while maintaining local biodiversity.

Local production cycle

The production follows a precise weekly schedule:

• Plant collection at the beginning of the week
• Fresh material processing through water distillation
• Immediate packaging of finished products

Environmental commitment

Through its mountain agriculture practices and integration of agroforestry principles, Pystill demonstrates its dedication to sustainable production methods. This approach ensures the preservation of local plant species while producing high-quality botanical extracts.
