Our Witch Hazel Hydrosol is 100% Witch Hazel Hydrosol (most companies include up to 14% alcohol). No alcohol has been added to our hydrosol. Witch Hazel is a wonderful hydrosol, and is often used in a variety of skin care products. As a gentle astringent, Witch Hazel hydrosol can be used as a toner to help keep sebum production under control and fight acne. Witch Hazel is a naturally mild cleanser and antiseptic, which will keep skin clean and fight blemishes when applied. Witch Hazel is an anti-inflammatory which can help to reduce redness and swelling when the skin is irritated. Witch Hazel is also great for alleviating itchy skin and can be used on rashes, bug bites or stings, and sunburn. Soothing and calming to skin, Witch Hazel is great for use on eczema and psoriasis. Great for any and all skin types.
Use as a refreshing spritz as desired, and during the hydration stages of your routine. May also be used on neck and body. This hydrosol may be used as a substitute for distilled water for formulations. Can be used in conjunction with creams and lotions and in dry or wet clay recipes. Can also be used mixed with water in a facial steam.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
Both my skin and my constitution are absurdly sensitive, so I have to take Extra Care in choosing every product I use. This witch hazel hydrosol is unbeatable. You can’t find another product like it that doesn’t have extra ingredients added in. I've been using this hydrosol since back in the days before this spiffy website and am so very glad this company is still around today.

Healing hydrosol
My kids and love this healing witch hazel hydrosol. It is good for face and any parts of the body that needs cleansing and healing. It is good for pimples, cuts or wounds that needs drying up etc. It helps with my 2 teenage kids’ skin which is getting oily and help to keep pimples and clogged pores at bay. I use it to disinfect my wounds/cuts, I like that it has no alcohol so my wounds doesn’t sting upon application. This is a must have for everyone, as it has multiple uses. Highly recommended.
