What it is and what it does
This hydrating toner boosts glow while targeting moisture loss and excess oil. With glycerin, sodium PCA, and evening primrose oil, it hydrates in three ways to balance oily and dry areas. Soothing and non-comedogenic, it calms acne, pimples, and rosacea-related redness without clogging pores. Over time, it helps reduce sebum, leaving skin clearer, dewier, and more comfortable. It can also be used as a spray throughout the day to set makeup and replenish hydration.

Key ingredients

Glycerin (Glycerol) is the best natural moisturizing ingredient to hydrate skin quickly. May give products a sticky feel.

A form of Vitamin B5 that soothes and hydrates sensitive skin

Oenothera Biennis (evening Primrose) Root Extract
Evening primrose extract, derived from the seeds of Oenothera biennis, is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)—an omega-6 fatty acid essential for maintaining skin barrier integrity. It has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that help calm irritation, making it especially beneficial for conditions like eczema, rosacea, and reactive skin. Evening primrose extract is used to reduce skin redness, sensitivity, and discomfort by reinforcing the lipid matrix and improving moisture retention. It may also help regulate inflammatory cytokines, contributing to fewer flare-ups in sensitive or post-procedure skin. This extract supports smoother, more resilient skin with consistent use.

Sodium PCA
Sodium PCA, a naturally occurring humectant derived from amino acids, is a key component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). It has excellent water-binding properties, helping cells retain moisture and maintain optimal hydration levels. By drawing water into the upper layers of the skin and holding it within cells, sodium PCA helps to plump the skin, improve elasticity, and enhance its natural glow

Myrothamnus Flabellifolia Leaf/stem Extract
Myrothamnus flabellifolia leaf/stem extract, derived from the “resurrection plant” native to arid regions of Africa, is rich in polyphenols, trehalose, and antioxidants that protect and rejuvenate stressed skin. Known for its ability to survive extreme dehydration, this extract delivers exceptional rehydrating and barrier-repair benefits. It helps restore moisture, soothe irritation, and protect against oxidative and environmental stress. Trehalose, a key sugar in the extract, stabilizes cell membranes and proteins under stress, supporting skin recovery after dryness, irritation, or cosmetic procedures. The result is plumper, smoother, and more resilient skin, especially in harsh or dehydrating conditions.

Lens Esculenta (lentil) Fruit Extract
Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract, derived from the lentil legume, is rich in oligosaccharides, flavonoids, and essential minerals like zinc. It helps regulate sebum production. Its natural sugar compounds also offer humectant-like hydration, helping reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) while mattifying the skin. Often used in astringents designed to shrink pores.

Citrullus Lanatus (watermelon) Fruit Extract
Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, derived from the flesh of watermelon, is rich in antioxidants, natural sugars, amino acids, and vitamins A, C, and E. It helps protect the skin against oxidative stress. This extract contains citrulline, an amino acid that helps neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, making it ideal for soothing irritated or sun-stressed skin.

Pyrus Malus (apple) Fruit Extract
Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, derived from the whole apple, is rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, natural sugars, and mild fruit acids. It provides gentle antioxidant protection, supports skin renewal through surface exfoliation, and helps maintain hydration. Naturally containing the AHA malic acid, it promotes mild exfoliation to enhance skin texture and radiance. In addition, potent antioxidants like quercetin and catechins help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

Dermatologist-recommended antioxidant for antiaging because it increases collagen and prevents melanin production. Protects skin from sun exposure and lightens dark spots.
