2. Active Ingredients

Witch Hazel Flavonoids and Anthocyanins

The main active ingredients of witch hazel extract are natural witch hazel flavonoids and anthocyanin compounds. These active substances are renowned for powerful antioxidant, skin brightening and evening, anti-inflammatory redness-reducing and calming soothing properties, serving as the core functional components of witch hazel.

Anthocyanins and witch hazel flavonoids are key natural active ingredients intensively studied in the industry. Studies have shown that these components can effectively neutralize free radicals in the human body and on the skin surface. Free radicals are the primary cause of skin oxidative dullness, fine lines, rough texture, body aging and sub-health conditions, which can effectively improve various oxidative skin damages.

Natural Tannins, Polyphenols and Organic Acids

Witch hazel extract also contains abundant natural tannins, polyphenols and organic acids, featuring an elegant and refreshing natural woody fragrance. These ingredients not only endow the product with a pure and clean plant texture, but also offer excellent effects on astringent conditioning, mild bacteriostasis, oil control soothing and metabolic regulation. They gently nourish the skin and physical condition, bringing multiple skin and body maintenance benefits.
