So, what is hamamelis virginiana?
Hamamelis virginiana, also known as witch hazel, is a plant species native to North America. The extract from its leaves, bark, and twigs is a popular ingredient in skincare and medicinal products due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and astringent properties. Witch hazel extract is a natural toner that can help tighten pores, reduce swelling, and soothe irritated skin. It is also commonly used as a natural remedy for various skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Additionally, witch hazel extract has been used for centuries as a traditional medicine to treat various ailments such as diarrhea, hemorrhoids, and sore throat.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
