Extract: Witch Hazel 金鏤梅萃取液

Witch Hazel Extract is a wonderful ingredient for use in your cosmetic preparations.  It has anti-inflammatory properties to help with sores, bruises and swellings. It also has astringent properties to tighten skin and promote skin healing. This property makes it particularly useful for treating skin conditions like eczema. Witch hazel extract contains 14-15% alcohol content.

Suggested Uses: For soaps and skincare products such as creams, lotions and serums.

This may be used directly on the skin or up to 20% in product formulation. The alcohol within the extract may destabilise emulsions if the extract is used up to 40%, hence it is advisable to formulate and test the product in small batches first.

As it has mild styptic properties, it is also suitable for after-shave lotions to soothe razor burns.

Ingredients: Hamamelis Virginiana bark/twig (hydrosol) extract, alcohol (plant-based).

Caution: This is a cosmetic raw material and is meant for external use only in cosmetic formulations. 

Packaging: Airtight plastic bottle. This is not a retail packaging.
