Witch Hazel - Herbal Extracts

INCI: Hamamelis Virginiana – alcohol

Description: Witch Hazel is an alcoholic extract from the leaves, flowers and bark of the hamamelis tree. One of natures best astringents, there is probably no better tonic or toner for skin care preparations.

It is frequently used in products like after shave lotions, where it shows mildly styptic properties as well as helping to reduce razor burn and swelling through its cool soothing sensation.

In skin care Witch Hazel can be used as toner or in place of a cleanser. It is particularly beneficial for oil and problem skin through its more gentle properties.
