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!

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.

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. Is is native to southeast Asia and used throughout the continent for traditional cooking and medicine.

Low molecular weight HA has been shown to hydrate and increase elasticity of the skin. Increasing elasticity is also associated with reduction of wrinkle depth.
One study found topical low molecular weight hyaluronic acid may be considered for the treatment of rosacea in the adult population. However, we always recommend speaking with a professional about your skin concerns.

Round Lab Pine Tree Calming Cica Toner 24 ingredients
My favorite toner, it’s so soothing, non-irritating, and makes my skin feel soft. I have extremely sensitive skin with acne+scars and texture, possible fungal acne and this is the only toner that works 🥰
I had a really broken skin barrier and a very sensitive skin. Started using this toner and it was helping a lot with hydrating my skin without any bad reactions. Also i like to layer it 2-3 times just so it would give me some extra hydration. It's not going to calm you skin immediately but it's more for hydration, super gentle and not irritation at all. If you need a simple toner this'll def work Show more

My skin is wayyy less red even i have pimple the toner is one the main thing in my routine that’ll really help with the redness, but i also feel like my skin is really hydrated and less dry with it Show more
AMAZING. This was the first toner I have purchased in Korea and I haven't switched it out ever since.
It's a watery toner and this is so good for people who have irritated skin or acne prone skin. Whenever I have breakouts or when my skin feels itchy, I drench my skin with this or make mini diy sheetmasks and it just makes my skin way better.
If you want a more viscous toner, this isn't Show more
