Witch Hazel Extract is a natural botanical preparation obtained from the leaves, bark, and twigs of the Hamamelis virginiana plant, a shrub native to North America. It is traditionally prepared as an aqueous extract or distillate, though sometimes also found in tincture or oil forms.
Known for its astringent, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties, witch hazel has been widely used in skincare, personal care, and traditional medicine. The extract contains tannins, flavonoids, and essential oils, which contribute to its effectiveness.
