With naturally antiseptic and anti-inflammatory willow bark and super-antioxidants from berry leaves, this toner balances oily and problem skins. Product Info Willow bark is extracted from the bark of the black willow, which is native to eastern North America, and has been shown to enhance skin cell turnover. Its mild keratolytic effect, attributed to the active salicins, smoothes problem skin so it no longer appears weathered. In a novel approach to blemish treatment, polyphenols extracted from black currant and raspberry leaves reduce the oxidation of sebum in the pores, which normally create an environment that nourishes acne bacteria. These super-antioxidants also battle inflammation and skin stress induced by free radicals to both improve the appearance of blemished skin and prevent new blemishes from forming. A skin-friendly, sugar-derived compound known as rhamnose helps prevent the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria on the skin, as well as reduces inflammation response. Beta glucan from oats is a super-moisturizer similar in efficacy to sodium hyaluronate. It forms a thin, invisible film to help restore hydration and also provides excellent anti-inflammatory properties. Properly hydrated skin is healthy skin that can better defend itself from external stressors. Directions Mist on the face, neck and body as often as desired. Apply after cleansing or shaving or throughout the day to refresh and renew skin. Useful after treatments including extractions, masks, and massages.
