Cosmetic profile and properties

• Gentle natural astringent: witch hazel is the reference for natural astringent toners. Tightens enlarged pores and refines skin texture without damaging the skin barrier.
• Sebum regulator: used as a toner on combination to oily skin after cleansing, it helps mattify and reduce shine.
• Care for blemish-prone skin: its gentle astringency makes it a complementary treatment for acne-prone skin, as a local toner or targeted compress.
• Leg and scalp care: used as a friction treatment on oily scalps or as care for heavy legs thanks to its gentle vasoconstrictive properties.
• 200ml: Organic Ecocert. Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

Can witch hazel replace a commercial toner for oily skin?
Yes, it is even one of the most effective natural alternatives. Unlike commercial alcohol-based toners that dry out the skin, witch hazel hydrosol is astringent without being harsh, making it an ideal toner for combination to oily skin without disrupting the hydrolipidic film.

Can witch hazel be used on sensitive skin?
With caution. Witch hazel is astringent and can be slightly irritating on highly reactive skin. For sensitive skin, prefer cornflower or Roman chamomile. Witch hazel is specifically intended for combination to oily skin.

What is the difference between witch hazel hydrosol and commercial witch hazel water?
Commercial witch hazel water is often a hydro-alcoholic extract (with alcohol) or an aqueous maceration, which is different from a distillation hydrosol. The hydrosol is the aqueous phase obtained from steam distillation, without alcohol, and is gentler and better tolerated.
