About Thayers
Thayers has made witch hazel preparations since 1847 and its alcohol-free toner became a substantial seller after online skincare communities recommended it. L'Oréal acquired the brand in 2022. Witch hazel is an astringent extracted from a North American shrub, and the alcohol-free version was the point of difference that drove the brand's revival.
