Is this an oil or a hydrosol? IOW - does it seem WATER based?

This is 100% pure witch hazel. It is not oily at all but rather like an astringent. It is similar to any witch hazel you might buy at the drug store - however it does not contain any alcohol. I would assume because witch hazel comes from a plant that it would be more water based?

Mine looked more like a flower to me. Actually, I found the bottle unacceptable, as if the oil hardended, it was time consuming to warm it up to a more liquid state. Perhaps yours has a chunck of coconut shell???

This is a liquid. They also have powder and aerosol. This product is wonderful. You have to be dilegent in vacuuming and keep on top of respray for about a month, but it works GREAT!!

This is a pure oil. You'll need to dilute it in a carrier before applying directly to your skin. Great price for it!

it appears to be pure. I heat water in the microwave and place the jar in the water for 20 min. be very careful with the oil . it will stain. you will have to shake real well. use paper towels not cloth.

For me, it smells like oil, for a lack of better description. I wouldn't say it is fishy. The smell doesn't bother me. It slowly disappears. I prefer it to fragrance.

No- it's feels like water almost, works really well, and doesn't leave an oily felling after using. I've used this product for years and I love it! I live in California, and my nan and grand dad typically mail it to me from the UK as CA doesn't carry all Nivea products. It was the same product when I ordered it from amazon! Hope this helps

Sorry if I'm wasting your time but thought I'd share my thoughts. I've only had mine a month & haven't noticed any drying to test this out. however, because it doesn't dry out I'd guess it's not water based & couldn't absorb the water. I think a better bet would be to try adding a little oil. I think I'd try baby oil first.

It is actually oil, and they should have come with the oil in them. I ended up , upgrading to a different style, because I tried those twice and they were defective both times. Hope this helps.

The label says it is alcohol and water based. It is an amazing antiseptic or mouth sores' healer.

It is less thick than other oils. It's not like water but it's no where as near thick as oil.

You mix the ingredients with with water... so... water based? Thought that would be obvious.

This product is water based it works exactly how the directions said it would. You have to massage it into your skin then you'll feel It start thicken. In my opinion this product was not what I thought it would be and I did not enjoy it.

I don't know what's in it but it's not oily at all. It dries very fast when you put it on. I saw some reviews that said it flaked off later even but I have not had that problem at all. You just have to put it on in small areas at a time.

Yes, it is water-based. I checked with my sister since I purchased it for her daughter.
