Witch Hazel Extract

Description

Harness the refreshing power of Witch Hazel Extract, America’s classic natural astringent, expertly blended into your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, or handmade soap. Drawn from the leaves, bark, and twigs of Hamamelis virginiana, the extract is rich in hamamelitannin, proanthocyanidins, and gallic acid, and clinical studies show witch hazel reduced sun-induced redness and soothed minor skin irritation; the gentler alcohol-free distillate refreshes sensitive skin and scalps. In your custom toner, gel, pad, or mist, it tightens the look of pores, tames oil, calms blemishes and redness, soothes razor burn, and de-puffs tired eyes. In your custom scalp toner, refresh spray, or clarifying shampoo, it controls an oily scalp and relieves itch between washes. In your handmade soap, witch hazel replaces part of the water for a clarifying bar. Ideal for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin — with alcohol-free options for sensitive skin — it pairs beautifully with Aloe Vera, Cucumber Extract, and Willow Bark Extract. Customize your cruelty-free formulation for a fresh, refined experience from face to scalp. Caution: Patch test recommended. Choose the alcohol-free form for sensitive or dry skin and the eye area. Continue to use a separate daily sunscreen.
