(100)
Witch Hazel Distillate - Alcohol Free (HAMAMELIS VIRGINIANA WATER and Benzoic Acid) is a versatile and beneficial botanical extract derived from the freshly cut, partially dried twigs of the Hamamelis virginiana Linn plant. This clear, colorless distillate is celebrated for its soothing natural astringent properties, making it ideal for skin and personal care applications where alcohol is not suitable. Especially advantageous in formulations that prioritize sensitive skin, this alcohol-free option is perfect for products with high surfactant levels, multi-phase compositions, or those that undergo heat processing. Its primary benefits are evident in treatment formulations, including anti-irritant products for sun and wound care, as well as children's sting-free products, ensuring a gentle experience without compromising on efficacy.
