Botanical Name:
Hamamelis Virginiana

Description:
Witch Hazel Hydrosol is a steam-distilled floral water derived from the leaves of Hamamelis Virginiana. Known for its soothing, cleansing, and toning properties, this hydrosol has a soft floral and herbal aroma that makes it an excellent natural ingredient for both skincare and haircare formulations. Rich in tannins, gallic acid, and antioxidants, Witch Hazel Hydrosol helps tighten pores, balance oil production, reduce acne, and calm skin inflammation. Its natural astringent quality makes it ideal for oily, sensitive, or mature skin types. It is widely used to minimize redness, control excess sebum, and support healthy scalp function, while promoting a fresh, revitalized look. Gentle and alcohol-free, Witch Hazel Hydrosol can be used directly as a facial mist, toner, or incorporated into a variety of personal care formulations.
