INCI: HAMAMELIS VIRGINIANA EXTRACT, Witch Hazel, Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract, Witch Hazel Extract
Hamamelis virgiana is a bush native to North America. As it throws off its seeds hidden in hard capsules ten meters away just by magic, hamamelis virgiana has been known commonly as "witch hazel".
Its leafs and bark contain valuable ingredients, such as tannins, resins, waxes and essential oils. Its concnetration of tannins is extraordinarily high. In addition to this, witch hazel leafs contain simple as well as oligomeric polyanthocyanidines. The latter are also known as OPCs. They are the strongest antioxidants discovered and, thus, have a great ability to neutralise free radicals.
Tannins help to minimize pores leading to a reduction of seborrhea. In combination with the antibacterial properties of the witch hazel, this can lead to less impurities. Skin becomes more resistant and smoother, the pores are refined.
