INCI: Hamamelis virginiana Leaf Powder

Witch Hazel Leaves Powder is a finely milled leaf powder from Hamamelis virginiana , valued for its tannin-rich, astringent profile. It can be used in strong teas and infusions, as well as external preparations such as gargles, mouth rinses, washes and compresses. Witch hazel is traditionally used for sore throat comfort, bleeding gum rinses, bruised-feeling areas, minor swelling, sprains, strains, haemorrhoid comfort and irritated skin. The bulk powder format suits herbal makers and DIY formulators who need a quick-mixing astringent botanical.

♡ Why we love it: Witch hazel leaf powder is a dependable apothecary staple for toning, astringent preparations. The fine format mixes easily into infusions, vinegars and simple skincare blends where a clean, slightly woody botanical profile is wanted.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.
