National Witch Hazel Day

National Witch Hazel Day celebrates witch hazel, a shrub valued for its use in skincare, cleansing, and first aid. Distilled witch hazel is made from the plant’s bark and twigs and is used in products intended to cleanse, tone, refresh, and soothe skin. Dickinson Brands describes witch hazel as a natural shrub found in New England forests and explains that its genuine extract is produced through steam distillation.

Dickinson Brands Inc. founded National Witch Hazel Day in 2021 to celebrate the history and benefits of witch hazel. The observance takes place annually on October 21. The company has used distilled witch hazel as the primary ingredient in its products for more than 150 years, including products from Humphreys Witch Hazel, Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel, and T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel. Learn more about the observance and the plant through Dickinson Brands’ National Witch Hazel Day information.
