Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel Distillate is a gentle botanical extract from the Hamamelis virginiana shrub, long valued for its skin-soothing and toning benefits. Unlike traditional witch hazel extracts, this version is alcohol-free, making it suitable for sensitive and dry skin types. At Fyrn, we source our Witch Hazel Distillate from Bulk Apothecary to ensure a clean, cosmetic-grade ingredient that blends seamlessly into our mists, toners, and sprays.
