Chi Witch Hazel hydrosol organic

Chi Organic Witch Hazel hydrolate
The true witch hazel herbal water from the bark, twigs, and leaves of the witch hazel. Due to its astringent properties, witch hazel water is used in skin care as part of aftershaves and eau de toilette. A wonderful water for mature and damaged skin and for blackheads. Witch hazel stimulates blood circulation and keeps small blood vessels in good condition. Witch hazel hydrolate is a great aid for various skin discomforts. Use this hydrolate for red, sensitive skin or for dry patches.

Note: This hydrolate contains a Cosmos/Ecocert approved preservative and makes this hydrolate suitable only for cosmetic use.

Ingredients (INCI)
Witch Hazel virginiana water, Benzyl alcohol, Dehydroacetic acid (Geogard), Aqua

Usage
Because hydrolates are rich in water-soluble components, they are very well tolerated. Hydrolates are very gentle and therefore suitable for everyone.

Skin care: as a moisturizing and refreshing spray, to dilute clay masks, or as a cleansing lotion.

Storage advice
Hydrolates have a shorter shelf life than essential oils. Fresh hydrolates are pure and bacteria-free. It is best to store a hydrolate in the refrigerator, or as cool (and dark) as possible. After opening, most hydrolates are shelf-stable for 1.5 years.

Warnings
For external use only.

Chi Natural Life has successfully offered this product for over 20 years without preservatives; however, it is extremely difficult to keep some hydrolates stable over a longer period. We are increasingly seeing that produced batches do not meet our high-quality standards, where a hydrolate, for example, is only shelf-stable for 6 months, which is insufficient. Therefore, a very small amount of Geogard has been added to our Orange Blossom hydrolate and Witch Hazel hydrolate. This is a preservative that is Cosmos/Ecocert compliant and thus can carry the label of natural cosmetics. This ingredient does ensure that these hydrolates are no longer suitable for consumption.
