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!

Sodium Citrate is the sodium salts of citric acid. In skincare, it is used to alter pH levels and acts as a preservative.

Sodium Citrate helps maintain the pH of a product. Normal pH level of skin is slightly acidic (~4.75-5.5). The acidity of our skin is maintained by our glands and skin biome. Being slightly acidic allows our skin to create an "acid mantle". This acid mantle is a thin barrier that protects our skin from bacteria and contaminants.

Sodium Citrate is a chelating agent. It neutralizes metal ions from water and prevents them from binding to other ingredients. This ensures the other ingredients will not be altered.

Very nice milky toner
I bought this spontanously while looking for a toner (mainly because of the jojoba milk and oat extracts). It's actually a very good toner, but i don't neccesarily want or need more Hyaluronic Acid in my routines. So I changed to another toner, still very hydrating without HA.

To be fair, I did not give a full run of this toner, but I used it few years ago and upon first use, my skin was red and burning. Upon second use, my skin wasn't as reactive, but it still didn't appreciate this product. The redness took a fair amount of time to alleviate. Would not recommend for those with dry skin like mine.
