Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel or Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract comes from the leaves, stems, and bark of the Hamamelis Virginiana shrub native to Noth America.  High in tannins, this makes it renowned for its astringent properties. This is why it is a popular ingredient in toners for tightening the skin. It’s also considered anti-inflammatory which works for minor skin issues such as insect bites or general itchy skin that needs soothing.
