Plant & Properties

A small deciduous tree that grows up to 6 meters high with long and broad oval leaves. Its flowers are pale to bright yellow with four ribbon-shaped petals. Native Americans produced Witch Hazel by boiling the stems of the plant and producing decoction, which was used to treat swellings and inflammation.

Useful for oily skin, one of the most important anti-oxidants and anti-ageing substances, Witchhazel is very suitable for mature or damaged skin. Also very good for teenage skin and its associated conditions, such as acne and oily skin. A traditional timeless remedy for wounds and general skincare.
