Witch Hazel (Hamamelis) Organic Hydrosol – 250ml

Latin name: Hamamelis virginiana
Plant part used: Leaves
Origin: France

Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), also known historically as “Devil’s Coffee” or “Hazel of the Seers,” is a shrub native to North America and long respected in traditional herbal practices. The plant’s name reflects its deep-rooted history in both indigenous and Western natural care traditions.

The distillation of fresh witch hazel leaves captures their unique botanical essence in a gentle floral water. Native American communities traditionally used witch hazel for its beneficial properties, a practice later adopted by European settlers.

Today, witch hazel is widely appreciated in natural skincare for its refreshing, toning, and balancing qualities. Witch Hazel Organic Hydrosol carries a subtle, woody, and herbal aroma, traditionally valued in facial care routines, refreshing body mists, or as a gentle addition to personal care rituals.

Essenciagua’s Witch Hazel Organic Hydrosol is artisanally distilled in France from fresh leaves, preserving the delicate aromatic profile in a pure, organic floral water.

Hydrosols are created in the same process as essential oils - through gentle steam distillation. When steam passes through the fresh plant material, it carries with it both the essential oil and water-soluble aromatic molecules from the plant.

Once cooled, the essential oil naturally separates and rises to the surface, while the aromatic water underneath is the hydrosol. This hydrosol is pure spring water enriched with the plant’s own active compounds - like a delicate imprint of the whole plant.

The distillation process is slow and careful, allowing the hydrosol to gather all the lighter and heavier aromatic notes so that it becomes a complete, true reflection of the plant. Afterward, it’s gently filtered and bottled - nothing else is added. No preservatives, no alcohol, no synthetic fragrances.

This is why a plant hydrosol is not just ‘flavored water,’ but a living extract full of the plant’s natural vibrancy, carrying both therapeutic and sensory qualities.

Essenciagua prioritizes sustainability in packaging by using recyclable PET bottles, free from phthalates and bisphenols.

The secure, non-unscrewable caps ensure the hydrosols remain unopened and perfectly preserved until use.
