Witch Hazel Distillate - 500ML

Witch Hazel Distillate is a clear distillate water made from witch hazel and used in toners, facial mists, aftershaves, and water-based cosmetic formulations. It has a naturally earthy scent and a lightweight, fast-drying feel that makes it especially suited to fresh, low-residue skincare steps. This version is produced to pharmaceutical standards and supplied at high strength for cosmetic and formulation use.

It is commonly chosen for combination and oily skin routines, as well as body spritzers and grooming products where a clean, refreshing finish is preferred. Why we love it: We choose to stock Witch Hazel Distillate because it is one of those practical formulation staples that works across both direct-use toners and DIY face care.

It brings a clean, lightweight feel, fits easily into low-fuss routines, and offers a useful alternative when a fresher, more fast-drying water phase ingredient is preferred.
