Skincare inspiration from US Patent No 5,350,774–skincare recipes containing witch-hazel, chamomile, and myrrh
Hamamelis, also known as witch-hazel, was widely used for
medicinal purposes by American Indians and is a component of a variety of
commercial healthcare products. It's mainly used externally on sores, bruises,
and swelling. Witch hazel hydrosol is used in skin care. It is a strong
anti-oxidant and astringent, which makes it very useful in fighting acne. It is
often used as a natural remedy for psoriasis, eczema, aftershave applications,
ingrown nails, to prevent sweating of the face, cracked or blistered skin, for
treating insect bites, poison ivy, and as a treatment for varicose veins and hemorrhoids.
Chamomile possesses anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) properties and has clinical applications in the treatment of stress and insomnia. For skincare purpose, chamomile is frequently added to skin cosmetics to serve as an emollient, and for its anti-inflammatory effects.
Apigenin has demonstrated strong chemopreventive effects, while alpha-bisabolol has been shown to have antiseptic properties and anti-inflammatory properties. Chemical compounds present within chamomile have demonstrated the ability to bind GABA receptors, modulate monoamine neurotransmission, and have displayed neuroendocrine effects. Umbelliferone has been shown to be fungistatic. Coumarin compounds present in chamomile such as herniarin and umbelliferone may have blood-thinning properties.
Myrrh is the aromatic resin of a number of small, thorny tree species of the genus Commiphora, which is an essential oil termed an oleoresin. Myrrh resin is a natural gum. In traditional Chinese medicine, myrrh is classified as bitter and spicy, with a neutral temperature. It is said to have special efficacy on the heart, liver, and spleen meridians, as well as "blood-moving" powers to purge stagnant blood from the uterus. It is therefore recommended for rheumatic, arthritic, and circulatory problems, and for amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, menopause, and uterine tumors.

such as herniarin and umbelliferone, phenylpropanoids such as chlorogenic acid
and caffeic acid, flavones such as apigenin and luteolin, flavanols such as quercetin
and rutin, and polyacetylenes.
