Hamamelis mollis Essential Oil, 10 ml

Hamamelis mollis Essential Oil: Gentle Power for Radiant Skin

Discover the soothing and skin-enhancing properties of Hamamelis mollis Essential Oil, a delicate and often overlooked treasure derived from the fragrant yellow flowers of the Chinese Witch Hazel (Hamamelis mollis) shrub. While the hydrosol (witch hazel water) is widely recognized, the pure essential oil offers a more concentrated aromatic profile – often described as subtly sweet, slightly woody, and earthy – alongside a potent concentration of beneficial compounds. This exquisite oil is a valuable addition to cosmetic formulations aimed at calming, purifying, and revitalizing the skin.
