Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

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.

This toner is a bargain for the punch it packs and for how long it lasted me. It feel calming and hydrating while still being lightweight and fast-absorbing (no weird film or sitting on top of the skin feeling, so you can do multiple layers). It is only very slightly thicker in texture than water and despite the witch hazel content has never felt stripping or irritating on my sensitive atopic Show more

i purchased this on a whim as i was running out of toner and needed a cheap, easy and cruelty free one quickly. unfortunately i wasn't aware it contained isopropyl alcohol and so it made my skin red, sore and very dry.

Cheap and cheerful, nothing fancy but does the job of hydrating well. Skin feels plump and bright throughout the whole day.
