Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent germ and microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

I first starting using Thayer's witch hazel when it was in the old packaging. (circa...2010?)
At first I *loved* the new packaging because it's unique and gives that old-timey vintage feel that's totally my thing.
But after using the new packaging, I hate it. The cap ALWAYS breaks at the hinge. And the cute mini travel-sized bottle is not travel-safe. It leaks if it's not upright.

I've never found Thayer's witch hazel irritating or drying.
In fact, it feels like water on my skin and leaves my skin very fresh and supple. It can help dry out my oily zones without over-drying my dry zones. And I find it very calming and soothing.

I can't use micellar water because they break me out - so sometimes this *IS* my micellar water. It's better than going to bed with makeup on when I'm lazy and tired.
And I genuinely do feel like it keeps my skin happier than when I don't use it.
