Why we stand behind it
This one-of-a-kind tonic is formulated with AHAs to rebalance skin pH and pre/probiotics to rebalance the skin microbiome.
Hydrating with a unique process designed to balance the liquid content of skin cells with the lipids that surround them, it provides necessary support for the stratum corneum to be self sufficient.
Key ingredients
Beta glucan: An excellent polysaccharide humectant that penetrates into the deeper lamellar structures of the SC.
D-panthenol: Pro-vitamin B5 promotes wound healing, helps restore damaged epithelium, reduces inflammation, improves skin hydration, reduces transepidermal water loss, improves skin roughness.
Sodium hyaluronate: Disaccharide occurring naturally in skin, a major component of the dermis, maintaining its moisture and elasticity. Holds up to 1000x its weight in water—a powerful humectant.
Licorice root: Anti-inflammatory botanical, skin-lightening properties.
Selenium: Works with vitamin E to safeguard cell membranes by inhibiting lipid peroxidation. Used to control Malassezia globose, a species of fungus that causes Tinea versicolor and hypopigmentation.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.
