Witch hazel is derived from the leaves and bark of the witch hazel plant and is native to North America. Some potential benefits of witch hazel include:

Astringent: Witch hazel contains tannins, which are natural compounds that have astringent properties. Witch hazel is often used to soothe irritated skin, minimize pores, and reduce excess oil production.

Anti-inflammatory: Witch hazel has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation and swelling. It may be used to alleviate symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and insect bites. Witch hazel can help calm redness, itching, and irritation, promoting skin healing and comfort.

Antimicrobial: Witch hazel has mild antimicrobial properties that can help cleanse the skin and prevent bacterial growth. It is often used as a natural disinfectant for minor cuts, scrapes, and wounds. Witch hazel can help keep wounds clean and promote faster healing without drying out the skin.

Soothing: Witch hazel can help relieve discomfort from sunburn, razor burn, and other skin irritations. Witch hazel may also help reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes.

FYI: Please consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition.
