Absolute Balance Clarifing & Hydrating Toner
$25.00
Achieve a glowing, healthy complexion with Absolute Balancing Clarifying & Hydrating Facial Toner. This leave-on astringent is made from natural ingredients like fermented dark red wine, magnesium, organic essential oils, and botanical hydrosols. It helps restore the skin's pH balance, while hydrating, calming redness, and managing acne and excess oil. Using a gentle soap, such as unscented Milk & Honey or the herbal Angel Soft soap bar from Soaps, Creams & Things, yields a truly balanced, clarified, and hydrated youthful facial glow that acts as a primer for the day.
Benefits of skincare toning:
- Restoring pH balance brings the skin's acidity to a natural 5.5, supporting a healthy microbiome and protecting the skin barrier from dehydration, damage, and premature aging.
- Cleanses and clarifies by removing residual dirt, oil, and environmental pollutants, leaving a bright, clear complexion.
- Replenishing moisture immediately after washing is essential to lock in hydration. It is important to use gentle cleansers due to over-exfoliation that dries out skin, if too harsh a soap. One of the most common causes of dry skin is over-exfoliation, whether from simple scrubbing or harsh chemical exfoliants like sugar scrubs, which remove the skin’s protective lipid layer. A crucial “mortar” of ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids contributes to the slightly acidic environment of the pH balance.

Fresh & Natural Ingredients
Size: 4oz / 113g
Ingredients: Witch Hazel hydrosol, Lavender & Rose Hydrosol, Epsom Salt (Magnesium sulfate), Malbec Argentina wine, Organic Essential oils
Witch hazel hydrosol (Hamamelis virginiana) is a fantastic astringent that helps balance pH and maintain the skin’s natural tone. Its pH scale is 3.0 - 5.0, and the skin barrier pH is 4.7 - 5.75. Witch hazel is ideal for skin cleansing and inflammation. Lavender and Rose Hydrosols are plant-based vapors that become liquid (water) after extracting essential oils through steam distillation. These natural ingredients aid facial skin hydration with a pH of 4.25; a range of 7 or less is ideal. Hydration is crucial for maintaining healthy, balanced skin tone.
Magnesium sulfate, also known as Epsom Salt, is a powerful natural ingredient and is one of the Earth’s layers. From foot baths to facial toners, Epsom salt tightens skin, soothes fine lines, and helps with sunburns. For more fun facts on magnesium, visit the Epsom Salt Council at espsomsalt.org.
Catena Malbec is often cited as the pinnacle of Malbec production in Argentina’s Mendoza region, renowned for its unparalleled quality. When used in skincare, the wine contains natural, powerful antioxidants, particularly resveratrol, which fight free radicals, reduce inflammation, and help restore collagen. The grape skin is rich in polyphenols, an “edible sunscreen” with an SPF of 2 that provides 50% sun protection, shielding human skin from premature aging and DNA damage caused by intense UVA & UVB radiation.
Organic Lavender and Rose Otto essential oils function as an anti-inflammatory to soothe sunburns, eczema, psoriasis, and minor skin irritations. Its antiseptic properties can help clean wounds and prevent scarring. These oils promote calmness and help with emotional balance, and aid with insomnia.
