Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

  • It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

Houttuynia Cordata Extract is more commonly known as Heart Leaf, Fish Mint, or Chameleon plant. It is an herb native to southeast Asia and used throughout the continent. It is used in traditional cooking and medicine.

The components found in Heart Leaf give it antioxidant, hydrating, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Heart Leaf is rich in flavonoids such as quercetin, apigenin, and more. It also contains polysaccharides, the most common type of carbs in food.

Flavonoids have been shown to be effective antioxidants. They help neutralize free-radical molecules. Free-radical molecules are unstable molecules that may damage our skin cells and DNA. The flavonoids in Heart Leaf also help soothe the skin.

Polysaccharides are naturally found in our skin. They play a role in hydrating and repairing the top layer of skin. The polysaccharides in Heart Leaf help moisturize our skin.

Studies show decanoyl acetaldehyde, a component of Heart Leaf oil, is effective at killing bacteria.

The name 'Fish Mint' comes from the herb's natural fishy smell.

Gentle exfoliation + soothing ingredients!

I’ve really enjoyed using these toner pads after my micellar water (I don’t like using cleanser in the morning, too drying for my skin). The pads themselves have two sides (one rougher, and one softer) that provide gentle physical exfoliation, while the BHA chemically exfoliates the skin using betaine salicylate (which is a little more gentle than salicylic acid). These also contain heartleaf and centella which are soothing ingredients that I love! This product has never bothered my skin, even on days where my skin barrier is not in the best of shape. There’s also tea tree in these to help combat acne— and you can tell! These smell of tea tree, which I like but I know it’s not everyones favorite scent. It doesn't linger, but just be aware that these have fragrance. Also, when I first opened this product I didn’t feel like these pads had a ton of toner in them, but after using them I realized they weren’t dry, just really absorbent. After swiping my face I like to fold the little pad up and squeeze out any excess product into my other hand. You get a good amount of toner by doing this and you can apply that extra product onto your skin if desired. These are also on the more affordable side compared to other toner pads i’ve seen!

I recommend this product for acne prone skin, but if you are sensitive you may find the fragrance to be a bit strong so just keep that in mind.
