📜 Product Description
Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a revered medicinal shrub, native to the woodlands and stream banks of Eastern North America. For centuries, Native Americans prepared leaf and bark decoctions to ease inflammation, swelling, and skin irritations. Early settlers adopted these practices, and by the mid-1800s, Witch Hazel extracts became widely commercialized (famously in skincare brands like Pond’s & Dickinson’s).
Today, Witch Hazel remains a staple in herbal wellness and skincare, loved for its ability to cleanse, tone, and soothe the skin naturally.
