If you’re looking for a single oil to simplify your skincare and haircare routine, meet Marula Oil. Cold‑pressed from the kernels of the Sclerocarya birrea tree—native to Southern Africa—Marula Oil is often called “liquid gold” for good reason. With a silky, lightweight feel and a nutrient-rich profile, it works beautifully for nearly every skin and hair type.

If you’ve used witch hazel before, you probably remember that sharp, drying sensation. That’s not the plant itself—it’s the alcohol. Most conventional witch hazel products are made by soaking the bark, leaves, and twigs of Hamamelis virginiana (the witch hazel shrub) in ethanol to pull out the active compounds. While effective, this method can strip your skin’s natural oils and leave it tight, especially with repeated use.

But witch hazel doesn’t have to sting. In its purest form, witch hazel is a hydrosol—a gentle, plant‑distilled water created when the shrub is steamed to release its beneficial oils and waters. Hydrosols carry the soothing tannins, antioxidants, and trace vitamins from the plant in a water‑based solution, without the harsh burn of alcohol.

Jade Bloom’s Witch Hazel captures this true hydrosol form: 100% pure, alcohol‑free, non‑GMO, and ethically sourced from USA‑grown Hamamelis virginiana. It’s skin‑loving enough for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
