🌿 A professional-grade botanical astringent toner built for oily, congested, and breakout-prone skin — purpose-formulated as the cleanup step after extractions, desincrustation, and mask removal.

The formula leads with Witch Hazel and Horse Chestnut Seed Extract, a polyphenol-rich duo that tones the skin surface and visibly tightens pores, while plant-derived SD Alcohol 40-B rapidly dissolves residual oils, post-treatment debris, and surface impurities. Yarrow Extract refines and clarifies at the follicle level. Where most astringents stop there, a calming botanical complex — Coltsfoot and Restharrow — helps buffer the alcohol impact on skin that's just been worked. The result is a finishing step that closes out a facial cleanly without leaving congested or sensitized skin feeling stripped.

✨ Phytic Acid adds a trace-level surface refinement that supports pH balance — a quiet differentiator in a category that often skips it.

A natural fit for facial protocols serving oily and acne-prone clients — especially where post-extraction finish quality matters.

• Astringent Pore-Toning Action: Witch Hazel Extract delivers tannin-rich botanical astringency that temporarily tightens the appearance of pores and removes surface oils, leaving oily skin looking refined and balanced.
• Surface Purification and Residue Removal: Plant-derived SD Alcohol 40-B rapidly breaks down and lifts surface lipids, post-treatment residues, and impurities — making this product highly effective as a finishing step after cleansing milk, massage cream, mask removal, or extractions.
• Pore-Refining with Yarrow Extract: Yarrow Extract brings mild astringent and clarifying properties that help lift impurities from the follicle surface and support the appearance of refined, minimized pores on oily and breakout-prone skin.
• Botanical Toning with Witch Hazel and Horse Chestnut: The combined action of Witch Hazel and Horse Chestnut Seed Extract — both rich in polyphenols and toning compounds — works to visibly firm and tone the skin surface while helping balance the look of excess oil production.
• Post-Extraction Calming: Coltsfoot Flower and Restharrow Root Extracts provide a soothing botanical presence in the formula, helping offset the stimulating effects of the alcohol and astringent actives on skin that has undergone extractions or desincrustation.
• pH Surface Support: Phytic Acid, a naturally derived chelating and mild surface acid, works at trace levels to help maintain the skin's pH balance and lightly refine the skin surface, supporting the product's toning and balancing positioning.

Hamamelis Virginiana Extract - known as Witch Hazel Extract: A botanical astringent rich in tannins and polyphenols that temporarily tightens the appearance of pores, removes surface oils and impurities, and helps tone the skin — the category-defining active for a professional astringent toner.

SD Alcohol 40-B (Plant Derived): A plant-derived denatured ethanol that acts as a fast-evaporating solvent and antimicrobial agent, providing the primary disinfecting and cleansing action this product is named for — it dissolves surface lipids, oils, and residual product, and contributes to the quick-drying, refreshing sensation on the skin.

Achillea Millefolium Extract - known as Yarrow Extract: A botanical extract traditionally used in professional toning products for its mild astringent and pore-refining properties; helps draw out impurities from the follicle surface and supports the appearance of minimized pores in oily and breakout-prone skin.

Aesculus Hippocastanum Seed Extract - known as Horse Chestnut Seed Extract: A botanical extract containing aescin and flavonoids that contribute to visible skin-toning and astringent effects, complementing Witch Hazel in helping tighten the appearance of pores and support a balanced, refined skin surface.

Phytic Acid: A naturally derived chelating and mild exfoliating acid that works at trace concentration to help refine the skin surface, support pH balance, and reduce the appearance of uneven tone — relevant to the product's oily/breakout-skin positioning.

Tussilago Farfara Flower Extract / Ononis Spinosa Root Extract — Calming Botanical Complex: Two botanicals — Coltsfoot flower and Restharrow root — that together contribute a calming, soothing character to the formula, helping offset the potential drying or stimulating effects of the alcohol and astringent base on sensitized or post-extraction skin.

1. Complete the facial cleansing step — cleansing milk, massage cream, or mask removal — before applying the astringent.
2. If performing desincrustation or extractions, complete those steps fully before proceeding.
3. Dispense 10–12 drops of the astringent onto a clean, moistened cotton pad.
4. Gently wipe the cotton pad across the client's face in upward strokes, covering the full treatment area.
5. For use after masks or extractions in a spray application, combine 2 parts astringent with 1 part distilled water in a clean spray bottle.
6. Spray the diluted solution lightly and evenly over the client's face, then pat gently with a clean cotton pad or tissue to remove loosened residue.
7. Allow the product to remain on the skin — do not rinse.
8. Proceed to the next step of the facial protocol, such as serum application or moisturizer.

Pro Tips for the Astringent Step

The spray dilution method (2/3 astringent to 1/3 distilled water) is particularly useful for post-mask or post-extraction moments when the skin is sensitized — the dilution softens the alcohol impact while preserving the botanical toning effect. For clients with very oily or congested skin, the full-strength cotton pad application gives maximum purification. This product's positioning as a post-extraction finishing step is a natural conversation point for retail conversion: explain to the client that home use of a matching daily toner can extend the clarity results from the service between appointments.
