The name 'Hamamelis Virginiana Water' refers to the distillation product used in cosmetics. On the other hand, 'Witch Hazel' refers to the active drug ingredient.
Unless it is specified to be non-alcohol, many types of witch hazel ingredients are distilled in denatured alcohol.
Witch Hazel water is an astringent, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial ingredient.

Both the tannins and fragrance found in witch hazel may be skin-sensitizing.

Indigenous groups have used witch hazel to help treat inflammation in North America for centuries.

As an emulsifier, Tromethamine prevents oil and water ingredients from separating. This helps stabilize the product and elongate a product's shelf life. Tromethamine also makes a product thicker.
Tromethamine helps balance the pH level of a product. Normal pH level of skin is slightly acidic (~4.75-5.5). The acidity of our skin is maintained by our glands and skin biome. Being slightly acidic allows our skin to create an "acid mantle". This acid mantle is a thin barrier that protects our skin from bacteria and contaminants.

a really good cleanser! i had low expectations for this at first, but it's actually really good and cleanses ur face nicely! it helped get rid of my acne too :) also affordable
the only flaw about this is that it's a hassle to use lmao :P i have to constantly reapply the cleanser mid cleanse 2-3 times because it keeps vanishing onto my skin in like 15 seconds. overall it's really good though
