Witch Hazel Herb

Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a traditional botanical best known for its naturally astringent qualities and its long history of use in herbal and personal-care preparations. Native to North America, Witch Hazel has been used for generations in traditional botanical practices, particularly in preparations intended for the skin. The dried leaf and bark contain naturally occurring tannins and other plant compounds that contribute to Witch Hazel’s characteristic astringent nature. It is commonly infused or extracted for use in herbal washes, compresses, toners and other external preparations. For external use only and with its mild, woody and slightly earthy aroma, Witch Hazel is a versatile botanical for those creating traditional herbal preparations or incorporating plant-based ingredients into natural skincare formulations.
