What is Witch Hazel?
Witch Hazel, also known as winterbloom, snapping hazel and spotted alder, is a powerful little plant that contains therapeutic and aromatic components. Native to the Northeastern United States this witch hazel bears delicate golden flowers and seed capsules in late autumn, after the leaves have fallen.
Witch hazel is renowned for its natural astringent properties, making it a popular ingredient in skincare and wellness products. It helps to tighten pores, reduce inflammation, and soothe irritation, making it an effective remedy for acne, razor burn, and minor skin abrasions. Traditionally, it has been used to calm insect bites, relieve sunburn, and support wound healing, thanks to its gentle yet powerful ability to cleanse and refresh the skin.
Beyond skincare, witch hazel has been valued for centuries for its medicinal and household benefits. Native American tribes used witch hazel extract to treat swelling, infections, and sore muscles, a practice later adopted by early settlers. Today, it remains a go-to natural remedy for everything from soothing tired skin to freshening the scalp. Its mild, yet effective properties make it a versatile staple in both traditional herbal medicine and modern personal care routines.

always
from forests,
never farmed
We harvest our witch hazel where it grows naturally—on 33,000 lush acres of untouched New England forest.
Following the standards set by the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) for active naturals, we harvest mature witch hazel plants while dormant during the winter months. These plants have naturally shed their leaves for the season and have been exposed to the elements for years, resulting in bark with the most potent active ingredient. In essence, we capture wild-grown plants at their peak potency in their native habitats, never on cultivated farms. Additionally, our sustainable harvesting practices are annually certified organic and actually promote forest regrowth by selectively removing mature plants, allowing younger witch hazel and other hardwoods to thrive beneath the opened canopy.
Sustainable harvesting practices from day one.
Ensuring witch hazel and the forests that support it continue to thrive for generations.

Customer Reviews
Pore Perfecting Cleanser
Went on nice and foamy could feel it tightening my pores and it had absolutely no scent, felt very clean.
Brightening Toner + Serum with Grapefruit
This is the best product that Dickinson’s has ever put out. I’m so happy I was able to find it. This works better than any expensive brand I’ve ever purchased.
Pore Perfecting Toner
I’ve been using this brand for more than a year with great results. It’s a great cleaner for oily skin and residual makeup. I have sensitive skin and this does not aggravate it. In fact, it seems to protect the skin on my face. It works for itchy spots, too. It gives me a clean and refreshing boost while toning my face. No strong scent that I can detect, just clean.
Pore Perfecting Toner
This toner is gentle on my skin and smells like roses. This is, by far, the best facial toner I have ever used. I’ve been using it for years. I would highly recommend this product.
