Organic Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel is very well reputed as the nature’s best astringent. It is also referred to as hamamelis distillate (from its Latin name hamamelis virginiana), this plant-based substance has been used for centuries both therapeutically and in skincare and beauty products. Witch hazel is widely known for its ability to help ease inflammation and soothe sensitive skin.

The skin is our largest and most vulnerable organ of our body, it protects and shields the body from negative elements of the environment.  All of the “stress” that our bodies deal with every day, both internally and externally, show up on our skin. Thus, taking good care of our skin could not be more underscored. Witch hazel is better alternative to the different beauty products available in the market due it being completely pure and natural and free of any toxic elements.

Profile

Organic Witch Hazel astringent is extracted through distillation of the bark and leaves of the Hamamelis virginiana shrub, which is the scientific name of Witch Hazel.

The extract has medium viscosity and is clear and colorless like water. Unlike its commercial counterpart with strong smell, Organic Witch Hazel has a very subtle herbaceous scent, with a bit of woody edge.

How to Apply Witch Hazel?

A popular method of incorporating witch hazel extract in your skincare regime is by diluting it with a carrier oil like jojoba oil, then applying it to the face as a toner, moisturizer or as an astringent.

Benefits of Witch Hazel

1. Skin Toner and Acne Care

Witch Hazel reduces the look of pores and helps regulate oil production caused by sweating that could lead to development of blackheads or whiteheads. Instead of popping a pimple and making the problem worse, put witch hazel directly on the skin wherever you notice a zit forming or where acne tends to break out. It’s even more effective when used in combination with tea tree oil or coconut oil.

2. Helps Tighten Skin

Keep your skin free from irritating chemical products that can alter oil production and increase dryness. Witch hazel can help maintain natural collagen and retain skin elasticity just as well as many commercial beauty products. You can easily blend witch hazel with vitamin E oil and other natural ingredients to create a night serum.

3. For Healthy Scalp and Hair

Use witch hazel on your hair to help reduce oil buildup caused by sweating. Witch Hazel can help in maintaining hair health and shine.

4. Help in Healing Minor Cuts

Witch hazel is rich antioxidants called tannins. Tannins are natural plant compounds that help protect the skin against free radical damage and repair minor cuts and scratches quicker.
