Product description

Floral water, alcohol-free witch hazel in organic quality is a gentle aqueous cosmetic raw material obtained by processing the leaves or bark of Virginian witch hazel, Hamamelis virginiana. In cosmetics, witch hazel water is traditionally used as an astringent-acting aqueous component, especially in products for oily, combination and sensitive skin. The designation alcohol-free is important particularly in formulations where you want to avoid the drying sensation that may accompany witch hazel waters containing ethyl alcohol.
Organic witch hazel water is suitable for facial toners, mists, cleansing waters, aftershave preparations, products for the T-zone, hair tonics and light gels. In formulations it is used as the aqueous phase or part of it. It is suitable for combination, oily, impure, reddened, sensitive or porous skin, while for dry skin it is advisable to combine it with hydrating and soothing components.

Astringent character – suitable for products intended to support a feeling of tighter and fresher skin.
Suitable for aftershave preparations – without alcoholic stinging, provided the entire formulation is designed to be gentle.
Good choice for cleansing cosmetics – for facial waters, gels and micellar preparations.
Good combinability – suitable with panthenol, allantoin, aloe vera, niacinamide, betaine and zinc PCA.

FAQ

What does alcohol-free witch hazel mean?

It means that the raw material is not based on ethyl alcohol like common alcoholic witch hazel waters. It is more suitable for gentler toners and facial waters where you do not want a drying alcoholic sensation.

Is witch hazel water suitable for enlarged-looking pores?

Yes, in cosmetics it is used in products for porous and oily skin. However, the final appearance of the skin depends on the entire formulation, regularity of use and combination with mattifying components.

Can it be used after shaving?

Yes, it is suitable for aftershave preparations without ethyl alcohol, especially in combination with panthenol, allantoin or aloe vera.

Is it suitable for dry skin?

It can be used in a lower proportion, but for dry skin it is advisable to combine it with glycerin, betaine, panthenol or a lipid phase so that the product does not act as tightening.

Can it be combined with niacinamide?

Yes, it can form part of the aqueous phase in products with niacinamide. The final pH must be suitable for both niacinamide and the preservative used.

Can it be used in a clay mask?

Yes, it is suitable for dispersing a clay mask just before use, especially for oily or combination skin. A mixture prepared in this way is not stored.
