Formulation view Multi-acid exfoliating toner with aloe and glycol-based base. Features gluconic, mandelic, and salicylic acids for resurfacing, buffered by citric acid. Hydrated with hyaluronic acid and botanicals. Best for tolerant skin types. Formulator note: Multi-acid combination requires careful pH buffering; silicones improve spreadability, but users must build tolerance and maintain sun protection.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- Phenylpropanol
- Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment
- Gluconolactone
- Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.
- Mandelic Acid
- Alpha-hydroxy acid for exfoliation and antibacterial effects; mild penetration, less photosensitivity than other AHAs
- Ammonium Acryloyl Dimethyltaurate/Carboxyethyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Lactobionic Acid
- Polyhydroxy acid for pH buffering; gentle, check stability at high levels
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Citrus Glauca Fruit Extract
- Citrus glauca fruit extract; contains essential oils, allergen and photosensitivity risk, caution for sensitive skin
- Microcitrus Australasica Fruit Extract
- Citrus fruit extract for antioxidant and fresh feel; potential allergen
- Microcitrus Australis Fruit Extract
- Australian finger lime extract for skin conditioning; minimal photosensitivity
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.
- Glyceryl Polyacrylate
- Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
