The power of the Witch Hazel plant without alcohol
INCI: Hammamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water
Extraction Method: Distillation
Shelf Life: 3 Years
Country of Origin: USA
Description:
Alcohol Free Witch Hazel Distillates (or Witch Hazel extracts) are clear, colorless botanical extracts prepared from the recently cut and partially dried, dormant twigs of the Hamamelis virginiana Linn plant. These distillates offer a variety of benefits for skin and personal care applications.
Alcohol Free Distillates are particularly advantageous for applications that require the soothing natural astringent properties of Witch Hazel, and there are instances where the use of alcohol is not appropriate.
Such formulations may include those with constraints in: • Processing parameters: high surfactant, multi-phase, or high temperature products • Product performance: foaming products, body washes, mousses, creams • Marketing claims: alcohol free, sting free, and sensitive skin formulations
The most popular uses are for products where irritation or skin feel is of primary concern. Many customers specify distillates for treatment products including, anti-irritant products for sun care, wound care, children's sting free products and other products where skin sensitization is an issue.
Applications: • Sensitive Skin Formulations: Eye Creams/Gels/Serums, Shaving Creams • Alcohol Free Formulations: Toners, Cleansers • Treatment Products: Wound Care, Sun Care, Eye Care

Rating: I have sensitive skin and wanted to try this product as a toner, since it's alcohol-free. It felt really good on my face. My skin felt more moist and I didn't feel any irritation.
Rating: The first time I bought this - for toner and sprays. Love that it's non-alcoholic. That's hard to find, ya'll!

Rating: This is my favorite toner. It can be used as is, or with some essential oils added in. Perfect for mature yet breakout prone skin.

Rating: Love this stuff!!!
I use this to make alcohol free acne toner with NDA's powdered White Willow Bark & Lavender Floral Water. Use it 1:1 ratio with the lavender floral water, and you won't even smell the witch hazel, but you'll still get it's astringent properties.
I also use tiny amounts of this sprayed on my bath bomb mixture to hold it together. The scent dissipates as it evaporates so it won't affect the scent of your bath bombs.
Rating: I love this and make my toners by mixing it with floral waters, my customers love that it is alcohol free

Rating: love love love! Witch hazel in all of my toners, and having alcohol free for those who are super sensitive is great. I can more effectively cater to my customers.

Rating: I use the alcohol free witch hazel as half of the liquid in my facial moisturizer with excellent results. I have very sensitive skin and unlike most commercial products this never stings.

Rating: My package came yesterday . Tried the alcohol free witch hazel on my face and boy did my face feel nice afterwards, but oh this stuff smells bad! I had to rinse it off to get rid of the smell. Guess I'll have to try some EO to cover the stink, really want to use it.
Rating: Thank heavens for ND!!! Hard to find alcohol free!!! Thank you for carrying this. I got crazy and ordered 5 gal... Made home cleaning spray for me and all my neighbors. Bottled some for friends with cats (it works as well as cortizone on their nervous system - be SURE not to use EOs with cats they are all dangerous to cats!!! Sorry, I diverged!).
On sunburned skin it's wonderful, as a toner or simply to spray on your face keeps it fresh and it does wonderful stuff to skin.
Thank you again and again ND!

Rating: The doctor told me that I had the cleanest ears that he had seen in 27 years of medical practice ... My secret ...? The same routine for 40 years. Which Hazel and Johnson&Johnson cotton swabs, after bath and before bed, simple. Alcohol free is that much better.
Rating: Excellent!!
Its relatively hard to find an alcohol free Which Hazel distillate and with such a great price.
I use it in a facial toner together with Aloe Vera Juice and Multifruit BSC. Its a powerful astringent (and not drying!!!) but works great for all skin types, including the dry skin. Together with AHAs in the Multifruit they have done a fantastic job minimizing the pores on the oilier parts of my facial skin. I think that the recommended usage in the toner is about 10% but I use it even 30% because I love what it does for my skin so much!

Rating: Bought this item along with a few others and was amazed at how quickly I got them!!! Love NDA! I love this witch hazel.. I use it as a toner and for anyone who wears false eyelashes, you can use them on the strip of the lashes and it helps you peel off the glue!!!! That way you don't tear your lashes! So not natural I know but sometimes a girl wants to spice things up!!!!!

Rating: I found it hard to find witch hazel that was alcohol free, when I saw this is available I knew I had to order it! I use it for a toner and as an aftershave for my husband (using WH and lemon/grapefruit essential oil) we both love it as it does not make your skin feel tight or dried out! Love this product and you can't beat the price!
By:Elvira, Oakville, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Works great in my toners! Alcohol is drying and is NOT what I want in my toners, so this is a great alternative to provide the benefits of the witch hazel bark without the drying alcohol!

Rating: Excellent Price! Works great in my products! I love the fact that it is alcohol free! Thank you!!!
