Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Water
May cause Irritation
These ingredients are considered potential irritants, meaning they can cause irritation - but not necessarily for everyone. Everyone’s skin is different, so what bothers one person’s skin may be completely fine for someone else.
Explained
Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Water comes from the witch hazel plant. The witch hazel plant is native to eastern North America.
Witch Hazel is an astringent, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial ingredient. The tannin in witch hazel has a drying effect when used on skin and constricts proteins. This helps minimize the look of large pores temporarily.
The tannins and the fragrance components may be skin sensitizing.
