Organic Witch Hazel Oil 10ml pure organic essential oil
Witch hazel oil is a natural extract derived from the leaves and bark of the witch hazel shrub (Hamamelis virginiana). While witch hazel is typically available as an astringent liquid, which is commonly used for skincare purposes, it's less common to find it as an oil because witch hazel is primarily water-based. However, witch hazel extract can be infused into a carrier oil to create a diluted form of witch hazel oil.
Here are some potential benefits and uses of witch hazel oil:
-
Skin Toning: Witch hazel oil, like its liquid counterpart, is known for its astringent properties. It helps to tighten and tone the skin by constricting the blood vessels, which can reduce redness, inflammation, and the appearance of pores.
-
Acne Treatment: Witch hazel oil may help to control acne and breakouts by removing excess oil, dirt, and impurities from the skin. Its astringent properties can help to dry out blemishes and promote faster healing of acne lesions.
-
Soothing Irritated Skin: Witch hazel oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated or inflamed skin. It can be used to alleviate symptoms of conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and insect bites.
-
Relieving Itchy Scalp: Witch hazel oil can be massaged into the scalp to help relieve itching and flakiness associated with conditions like dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis. Its soothing properties can help to calm irritation and restore balance to the scalp.
-
Reducing Under-Eye Puffiness: The astringent properties of witch hazel oil can help to tighten and de-puff the skin under the eyes. Applying a small amount of witch hazel oil to the under-eye area may help reduce swelling and inflammation, giving the eyes a more refreshed appearance.
-
Hair and Scalp Health: Witch hazel oil can be added to hair care products or applied directly to the scalp to promote hair and scalp health. It can help to balance oil production, reduce scalp irritation, and add shine to the hair.
-
Minor Wound Care: Witch hazel oil has mild antiseptic properties that can help clean and disinfect minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions. It can also help to reduce swelling and promote faster healing of wounds.
