About this ingredient
A hydrosol distillate from the leaves and bark of Hamamelis virginiana (North American witch hazel plant), traditionally used in skincare for its astringent and toning properties. It helps tighten pores, reduce excess oil, and soothe irritated or inflamed skin due to its natural tannin content. Commonly used in cleansers, toners, and aftershave products for its mild antiseptic and skin-conditioning benefits.
