Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) have been shown to promote smoother, younger looking skin by improving skin texture, diminishing the look of lines and wrinkles, and improving the appearance of dull, uneven skin tone. Physical exfoliants, such as scrubs, are often far too harsh to be used on our delicate facial skin.

Lactic acid is the considered gentler of the AHAs, best for those with sensitive skin or those new to using chemical exfoliants. It rejuvenates the skin by encouraging the shedding of old surface skin cells. This toner is formulated at 5% lactic acid with a bounty of skin goodies making up the rest of the toner to soothe and calm your skin.

Key Ingredients

Extracts of Manuka honey, helichrysum, and chamomile: anti-inflammatory, promote skin regeneration, soothe irritation
Cucumber hydrosol: refreshes and soothes skin
Vitamins B3 & B5: strengthens skin barrier; evens skin tone, texture, and brightens; healing, soothing humectant

Those looking for a stronger exfoliation should consider the 5% glycolic acid toner.

Specifics 

Your facial toner will arrive in a convenient spray bottle.

4 fl oz | 118 mL

The Ritual

After cleansing face, spritz cotton pad to saturate. Make it eco-friendly by using washable and reusable cotton rounds. Gently pat onto skin, avoiding mouth and eye areas. Do not rinse off. Use during evening skincare routine, as AHAs may increase sensitivity to sunlight. If persistent irritation occurs, discontinue use. Do not use on broken skin. Store in a cool, dry place. External use only.

Recommended use of 1-3 times per week. Any tingling sensation will subside after a few minutes. Always perform a patch test on your hand or arm when trying a new product, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Follow up with a potionfacial oil elixir, or moisturizer. Apply your favorite SPF the next morning.

Mindfulness

Balms, salves, + other wax-based goodies may soften in the summer and firm up in the winter. This is totally normal! In warmer months, store them in a cool, shady spot. In colder months, just let the warmth of your skin melt them into magic.

Heads up if you live somewhere warm:
Orders shipping to or through hot climates — especially during summer — may arrive a bit melty. To avoid issues, we recommend shipping to a location where someone can receive the package promptly (not sitting in the sun all day). If it does melt, no worries — just pop it in the fridge for a few hours + it’ll bounce right back.

Returns

Due to the hygienic nature of our products, returns + exchanges aren’t accepted. We also can’t offer refunds for scent preferences or ingredient sensitivities. Every product includes a full ingredient list + detailed scent notes to help you shop confidently. Please read them carefully before ordering, especially if you have allergies.

That said, if there’s a genuine issue with your order (like something arrived broken), we absolutely want to make it right. Just reach out + let us know!
