Voshuiles Witch Hazel Hydrosol Cosmos 100 ml is a high-quality product made from a 100% pure and natural hydrosol, complemented with a preservative that ensures its stability. This cosmetic-grade hydrosol emits a light and subtle aroma.
The witch hazel hydrosol is obtained through the distillation of witch hazel leaves, utilizing the steam generated in this process. It is important to note that an essential oil cannot be extracted from this plant. Witch hazel is a common shrub in the forests of Quebec, whose leaves are similar to those of the hazel, which has led to it being nicknamed "witch's hazel" or "spider tree" due to the shape of its flowers.
This hydrosol allows for the exploration of the plant's properties, as there is no essential oil of witch hazel. Additionally, it has the Cosmecert certification in Cosmos Certified, ensuring its purity and biological nature before the incorporation of the preservative. The low percentage of preservative present allows the product to maintain its quality over time and prolongs its durability against potential microbial aggressions.
The main use of Voshuiles Witch Hazel Hydrosol is in the formulation of cosmetic recipes, making it a versatile and valuable ingredient for various formulations. Its botanical name is Hamamelis virginiana and the leaf part of the plant is used.
