Frequently asked questions
Is this toner good for sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes, the formula is built around soothing botanicals like chamomile and lavender and is unscented, which makes it a reasonable option for sensitive skin. As with any botanical formula, it is still worth patch testing since natural ingredients can occasionally trigger reactions in some people.
Does this tonique help with redness?
Chamomile and licorice are both commonly associated with supporting a calmer look for reactive or redness-prone skin. While results vary by person, the soothing-focused ingredient list is well aligned with that use case.
Is this toner alcohol based?
No, this is a drop-based formula centered on botanical ingredients like chamomile, lavender, and glycerin rather than alcohol. It is positioned as a gentle, calming toner rather than a traditional astringent.
