Essential Face Tonic delivers a complete daily step for clearer, brighter, and calmer-looking skin. It works as a plant-powered elixir that cleanses, tones, hydrates, and exfoliates without drying or disrupting the skin barrier. With no rinsing required, it simplifies skincare into one effortless application.

The formula contains Willow Bark, a natural source of salicylic acid, to gently exfoliate and soothe. It includes Maple- and fruit-derived AHAs to refine skin texture and brighten tone, with Organic Aloe and Sodium Hyaluronate to hydrate and smooth. Birch Sap helps reduce redness and uneven tone, while Witch Hazel naturally tightens the look of pores. Green Tea, rich in antioxidants, supports visibly healthy skin with a calm, refreshed feel.

Formulated without petrochemicals, sulphates, parabens, or synthetic fragrances, Essential Face Tonic combines pure and powerful ingredients for effective daily care. It delivers a deeper clean, soft exfoliation, and hydration in one non-drying step, leaving skin balanced and refreshed.
