Water soluble. Add to water based products after cooling. Not soluble in oil but can be used in an emulsion.
Our Witch Hazel extract takes the dried leaf and extracts it into a glycerin base to give an extract with quite different properties to the astringent Witch Hazel alcohol.
The leaf extract yields the following physochemicals:
The above give the leaf extract its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.
While the leaf extract does have some astringent powers (from the tannins) the alcohol extract is best suited to that purpose.
Use: 1-10%
Please note: Glycerine based extracts are sold in grams/kilograms and not millilitres/Litres. Glycerine extracts have a specific gravity greater than 1.00, this means that they are more dense or heavier than water and 1g/1Kg will not equal 1ml/1Lt.
