Witch hazel hydrosol - a bit different from the witch hazel you find at the drugstore or in your beauty products. This doesn't contain alchohol for one, and it's a distillate of the leaves, rather than an extraction. What does that mean for you? This baby has the same beautiful benefits of witch hazel, but none of the drying properties of alcohol. In skincare, witch hazel is most commonly used as an astringent - I love this because it's not as drying on my skin than the witch hazel from the store.
 
I couldn't believe my eyes as the wacky yellow flowers of the witch hazel tree revealed themselves to me my first winter here. What is this miracle of color dotting the forest as the leaves have all fallen? And imagine my delight upon learning this gem was witch hazel - and there are hundreds of trees here on the land. Wow! Thanks again Mother Nature.
 
These hydrosols are hand crafted in small batches by distilling fresh raw plant matter in a copper still. A magical alchemical process occurs producing gorgeously scented aromatic waters that carry the special properties of the plants. The plants were either grown by seed or ethically wildcrafted in the Catskills - by me, for you :) 
 
Aromatherapy is an ancient powerful healing modality often overlooked in our modern world.  There are countless ways these hydrosols can support us! I use them as part of my skin care ritual and am reaching for them all day long for an instant shift and return to myself.
