Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

It is a:
- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives
Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer (let's call it AAVC for short) is a synthetically created polymer. It's used as a film-forming agent and used to thicken the consistency of products.
AAVC is able to increase the consistency and viscosity of products due to its large molecule size. It also prevents ingredients from separating.
Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.
It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.
Disodium EDTA is a salt of edetic acid and is found to be safe in cosmetic ingredients.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

Reviews
Here's what our community thinks
Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner 21 ingredients
If you’re super duper mega oily and live in hot, humid weather, then this toner is definitely for you. It’s incredibly effective in terms of oil control. I have combination skin, and this toner really helps manage the oiliness in my T-zone.
It’s doing such a great job at oil control that even my cheeks, which aren’t oily, ended up feeling dry. Clearly, it’s really effective at controlling oil.
This brown liquid is so golden! It keeps my skin pretty matte/satin-ish all day. I live in Florida, so its always humid and hot for the most part and with my combo skin, I tend to have a shinier t-zone daily. So once I started to realize that my t-zone wasnt looking overly shiny after a few days after first use I checked the bottle again and saw that it has sebum control. Love!
