It means that you can use this witch for a variety of applications including around the eyes.

Pure witch hazel characteristics

Our stock is, pure, freshly produced and full of wild character: Leafy, smoky, earthy, almost burnt earth and barky. It is very unlike commercial witch hazel where the natural ‘wild’ aroma is masked by the smell of alcohol.
