MrBrad Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Has anyone found witch hazel, the astringent, in Thailand. It's a very common product in the States (and most likely many other countries), but it must be banned in Thailand. Or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 It is not banned (why would it be?) but U think it is simply not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 sorry for interrupting, but never heard of it in Europe...... what is it all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It is an astringent made from the leaves and bark of a shrub that I think is native only to North America, which would explain why not common in Europe. It was originally used by Native Americans and is in common use in the US for skin ailments and hemmorroids. It is also an ingrediant in many US-made skin creams/lotions.

JSixpack Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Haven't seen it in Thailand, so it'd be nice to know if anyone has & where. Singapore? It has various uses, though I don't know if any are scientifically verified. I find it useful as an aftershave, with a few drops of essential oil to improve the scent.

Ok thank you..... nice to hear about something new and somewhat natural, hopefully with a bit less of pharma additives!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrad Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 So from this very brief discussion it appears that it is not available in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flustered Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I don't know why people think witch hazel is not common in Europe. It is one of the main ingredients in eye wash as well as skin care and commonly available at any chemist/drug store.
