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!

  • 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.

Limonene is a fragrance that adds scent and taste to a formulation.

It's found in the peel oil of citrus fruits and other plants such as lavender and eucalyptus. The scent of limonene is generally described as "sweet citrus".

Limonene acts as an antioxidant, meaning it helps neutralize free radicals.

When exposed to air, oxidized limonene may sensitize the skin. Because of this, limonene is often avoided by people with sensitive skin.

The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term. For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance.

Feels nice and does not irritate sensitive skin
I've been using this toner for about six months in the mornings. Overall I like it. When my skin feels rough after I cleanse it I swab the toner over my face and my skin feels noticably smoother.
I have combination skin that is prone to clogged pores and cystic acne. The toner goes on easily, has a light fruity fragrance and is a pretty creamy pink color. It does a good job of wiping away excess eye makeup without irritating the sensitive skin around your eyes.
My only complaint is that my skin is noticeably shiny looking after I apply this. This seems weird that a toner can make your skin appear more shiny than before you apply it. Overall though the feeling of my skin and the fact that it isn't irritating makes it close to a 5 star. Would purchase again.
