Ozark Witch Hazel: Nature’s Gift, Distilled
Most people have heard of witch hazel as the yellow bottles found in drugstores, but what we create at Ozark Witch Hazel Botanicals is something entirely different—and much more natural.
Our Witch Hazel is Unique Because:
It Only Grows in the Ozarks – Our variety, Hamamelis vernalis, is native to the Ozark Mountains. Unlike the more common Hamamelis virginiana, which grows in the eastern U.S., the Ozark witch hazel blooms in late winter and carries unique plant compounds.
Alcohol-Free Distillation – Commercial witch hazel extracts are often preserved in alcohol, which can be harsh and drying on the skin. We steam-distill ours in copper alembic stills, creating a pure, alcohol-free hydrosol.
Skin-Loving pH – Our witch hazel hydrosol naturally has a pH around 5—the same range your hair and skin thrive in. This means it tones, tightens, and soothes without disrupting the skin’s acid mantle.
Pure Plant Benefits – Witch hazel is astringent, helps reduce inflammation, calms redness, and supports healing of minor skin irritations.
By harvesting ethically and distilling in small batches on our farm, we create a witch hazel hydrosol that is gentle, effective, and truly one-of-a-kind.
