Description: 

Witch-hazel essential oil is derived from the leaves, bark, and twigs of the witch-hazel plant, scientifically known as Hamamelis virginiana. It is a clear, pale yellow oil with a mild, woody aroma. Witch-hazel has been used for centuries in skincare due to its soothing and astringent properties. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation, resulting in a concentrated form of its beneficial compounds. Witch-hazel essential oil can help balance the skin, tighten pores, reduce inflammation, and promote a healthy complexion.

Benefits:

• Astringent properties: Witch-hazel oil has natural astringent properties that can help tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
• Soothes inflammation: It has soothing properties that can help calm irritated and inflamed skin, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
• Balances oil production: Witch-hazel oil can help regulate sebum production, making it beneficial for oily and combination skin.
• Antioxidant-rich: Witch-hazel oil contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radicals and environmental stressors.

Usage: Witch-hazel essential oil can be used in various skincare products, including toners, serums, moisturizers, cleansers, and masks. It can also be used in diluted form for spot treatments or added to carrier oils for facial massages.
