Characteristic: witch hazel is a sapling used by the Native American Indians for traditional medicine practices. Its extract has proven essential in cosmetic preparations. Herbal tradition calls it “the witches’ grass” so as to emphasize the plant’s extraordinary virtues deriving from the highly astringent, refreshing and anti-inflammatory phytocomplex extracted from its leaves. Witch hazel’s integral extract fortifies venous walls, fights liquid stagnation, adjusts membrane permeability and increases capillary resistance. Its many properties make it suitable for all skin types: it normalizes impure skins, it desensitizes reddened skins; it is used in the prepatation of tonics, after-sun products, eye-decongesting packs and child products.
