Definition
Plural of astringent; substances or medications that cause tissues to contract and reduce secretions, used in medicine and cosmetics.
Etymology
Plural form of astringent, which entered English from Latin astringens (present participle of astringere). Astringents have been used medicinally since ancient Greek and Roman times.
Kelly Says
Witch hazel, alum, and tannic acid are all astringents—dermatologists use them today just like ancient physicians did, proving some folk remedies actually work through solid chemistry.
