What does a facial toner do for the skin?

A facial toner removes leftover impurities after cleansing, balances the skin's pH, and delivers a soothing burst of hydration to prep the skin for moisturizers and serums.

Is this an alcohol-free facial toner?

Yes! Our Original Facial Toner is made with 100% alcohol-free Witch Hazel. We use a proprietary maceration process for our Witch Hazel rather than alcohol distillation, ensuring the toner hydrates and purifies without ever drying out your skin.

Will this face toner help minimize my pores?

Yes. While no one can erase pores, the natural tannins in our non-distilled Witch Hazel act as a gentle astringent to visibly refine their appearance over time.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. It is formulated with 98% naturally derived, soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera. It is vegan, non-comedogenic, and highly suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
