This autumn seasonal soap from Werfzeep contains home-made extract of witch hazel bark, the colour of which can be seen in the swirl. In addition, Werfzeep has added warming essential oils of star anise, cinnamon, fennel and orange to give this autumn soap a lovely autumnal scent.
Hamamelis virginiana is native to North America but now also grows in Europe. It is also called American witch hazel and has been used for centuries for inflammation, to staunch wounds and to stimulate blood circulation in the skin. Botanically speaking, it is not related to hazel, but it does have many of the same properties, only a little more powerful.
Hamamelis promotes the skin's metabolism and its astringent effect refines the pores. It promotes skin circulation through flavonoids and has a purifying and soothing effect through saponins. It supports the skin with acne and has a stimulating effect on tired skin.
In this seasonal soap, Werfzeep uses an extract drawn from the bark and leaf of witch hazel. The bark is dark red and therefore gives a red color to the extract, which you can see immediately in the soap!
