Witch Hazel Hydrosol - Organic

Our Bioflore hydrosols are 100% pure, preservative-free and of food-grade quality. They can be used both internally and externally, for skin and hair care.

This means that some products have relatively short best-before dates. In the case of this hydrosol, which is one of the most sensitive, its best-before date is only a few months from the date it is bottled. We would advise you to check the best-before date of the batch currently on offer before placing your order, to ensure that it suits your needs.

• Origin: France
• Part used: leaves

A very characteristic grassy note, an average pH of 4. This hydrosol is major in cosmetic applications.

It favours microcirculation and is appreciated, still locally, to support the circulation. For this purpose, compresses (50/50 with water) and sitz baths should be considered. To improve circulatory comfort, pregnant women can use it without restriction.

Always in compresses, it is considered in case of water retention and joint discomfort.

Another field of application: sensitive skin, prone to redness, itching, rashes, swelling and flaking. Witch hazel hydrosol will bring comfort to skin prone to irritation.

Combinations are possible with Roman chamomile and cornflower hydrosols.

In the same way, it calms insect bites.

The well-tempered aroma of this hydrosol, green but not excessive, slightly woody, and its soothing action make it a master choice in the preparation of your creams, lotions and natural deodorants.

Tonic and powerfully anti-oxidant, it is an anti-ageing hydrosol that is interesting to use in association with cistus hydrosol.

Although comfortable for all skin types, its slightly astringent side will be appreciated by mixed to oily skin.

In case of a sore throat, use it pure as a gargle - possible combination with Thyme Thujanol hydrosol.
In case of hoarseness and to regain the voice: always gargle with cypress hydrosol.

Internal use: 1 to 2 tablespoons in 1 litre of water

The 200 ml bottles combine lightness with optimal protection: an aluminium outer shell and an inner layer made from food-grade, bisphenol A-free resin, providing an effective UV barrier and good thermal insulation. This choice also helps to reduce the carbon footprint thanks to the lightweight packaging.

We also organise the recycling of the aluminium: the bottles can be returned to Bioflore in Wavre or to L’Herboristerie de Louise in Brussels, to be sent to a company that recycles and reuses the material.

If you’d like to use this hydrosol as a mist, a spray nozzle is available for purchase: simply screw it onto your bottle and reuse it on your future bottles. An economical and eco-friendly solution that helps reduce waste.

As they contain no preservatives, we recommend storing our hydrosols in the fridge to best preserve their quality and avoid exposure to temperature fluctuations.

Once opened, we recommend using them within 3 months.
