Our soothing botanical face toner is thoughtfully formulated to calm inflammation, balance oil, and support a healthy skin barrier — making it ideal for acne-prone, sensitive, or flare-up–prone skin, including eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. The addition of 2% salicylic acid adds calming support for acne-prone skin and helps with natural exfoliation. Use after Oil Cleanser (Step 1) and follow with Hyaluronic Serum (Step 3).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Little Secret\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of our clients use this toner to set their serum or makeup for the day — a light mist leaves skin fresh, dewy, and beautifully prepped. (We love it that way too!)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFresh by Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make our products in small batches because we believe fresher is better — for your skin, your body, and your results. Our formulas are crafted with carefully selected natural preservatives that maintain product integrity, but this is not a product designed to sit on a shelf for a year. For the best results and the most potent benefits, we recommend beginning your routine right away and using your toner consistently as part of a daily self-care ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThink of it less like stocking up and more like investing in a practice — a few quiet minutes each morning and evening that your skin will thank you for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Glass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Botanista toners are packaged in amber glass bottles. Glass is non-reactive, meaning it won’t leach chemicals into your formula the way some plastics can over time. Amber glass also filters out UV light, protecting light-sensitive ingredients like antioxidants, salicylic acid, and botanical extracts from degrading before they reach your skin. It’s a small detail that makes a real difference in the stability and freshness of every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy a Pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth sizes come with an airless pump dispenser — and that’s intentional. Every time you open a jar or dropper bottle, oxygen enters and begins to slowly break down the active ingredients inside. An airless pump eliminates that exposure entirely, delivering each dose without introducing air into the bottle. The result is a formula that stays as potent and stable on your last pump as it was on your first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2 oz, our larger size also stays within the TSA’s 3.4 oz \/ 100ml carry-on limit — so your ritual travels with you wherever you go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoothes \u0026amp;
