Our all natural facial toners are made from pure organic hydrosols and natural extracts. Hydrosols are the pure, distillate water that remains after essential oils are steam distilled from the original plant material. They contain small amounts of essential oil and also contain water-soluble components of the plant material that may not be present in the essential oil. Hydrosols make a fabulous ingredient in facial toners. Why? When you wash your face with cold process soap (which is slightly alkaline) and following up with a hydrosol toner (which is slightly acidic) it gently helps rebalance the pH of the skin. Your skin's acid mantle is what keeps in moisture and blocks out toxins from the environment, so this is an important step in your skin care regimen.
Calming Toner - Organic Neroli (orange blossom) hydrosol, Purified Water (Aqua), Papaya (Carica papaya) fruit extract, Mango (Manifera indica) fruit extract, Radish root (Leuconostoc) ferment.
This faintly sweet, floral, and citrusy toner is great if you have oily/combination skin. Neroli hydrosol contains alpha hydroxy acids which help exfoliate the skin, and is anti-inflammatory so helps soothe and calm skin inflammation like acne, eczema etc. It is also antibacterial, which is another reason it's great for treating acne, plus is highly astringent, as well as rich in vitamin C. The combination of the Papaya and Mango extracts increase enzyme activity and are attributed with soothing skin irritations and exfoliating dead cells. Papaya contains arginine, which is an amino acid that smoothes skin and aids in cell regeneration and Papain possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
Restorative Toner - Organic Rose Otto (Rosa damascena) hydrosol, Glycerin, Rose Otto (Rosa damascena) petal cell extract, Radish root (Leuconostoc) ferment.
This very hydrating toner nourishes skin health and helps restore skin's radiance, beauty and youthfulness. Rose hydrosol* helps to balance the skin as it regulates sebum production, has antibacterial properties, helps heal sunburn and improves circulation. It is also a mild astringent, and attracts moisture making it very helpful for all skin types. With it's light floral scent and vast number of therapeutic applications, this hydrosol from organic roses rejuvenates, hydrates, softens, and if used over time, can help reduce facial lines and wrinkles. Suzanne Catty, author of Hydrosols: The Next Aromatherapy, states that rose has an affinity with the heart and the emotional spheres of the mind, body, and spirit. It is known to promote emotional balance and a sense of well-being.
Rose extract also comes from the Rose Otto (Rosa damascene). It is extracted from the petals of rose flowers and contains over three hundred different compounds which not only help with premature aging, but also benefit skin in many other ways; anti-inflammatory, great for sensitive skin, treats redness and irritation, contains high amounts of Vitamin C, known to aid skins natural sun protection, promotion of good skin tone as well as improvement of skins elasticity. Plus let's not forget about the wonderful aroma which is a known as a mood enhancer.
*Rose Hydrosol is often referred to as Rosewater or Rose Floral Water but is actually a different product. Where Rose Hydrosol is the distillation of rose essential oil made with fresh-picked fresh rose petals and contains the essence of the plant in every drop. A flower water or rosewater, by contrast, is water that has been scented using essential oils. In addition, rose water will typically have additives that rose hydrosol will not.
To use - After gently cleansing skin morning and evening, mist evenly onto the face, neck and décolletage and allow to dry. Follow with moisturizer or facial oil like our Organic Moroccan Argan Oil. The moisturizer/oil will lock in the toner, leaving your skin soft and glowing.

Restorative Toner sample
I decided to sample AVNS products after a chemical breakout. Before AVNS, I was only able to use water without causing further acne or burning to my skin. I wanted to find a line of products I could use that were simple and chemically clean, that would also accommodate the allergy I have to coconut and help with my eczema. I use the restorative toner in combination with the AVNS Castile olive oil bar as a cleanser and the AVNS argan oil as moisturizer. Honestly, I wasn't sure I needed a toner and was unsure of what it could offer me. After reading the description for the restorative toner and it's properties as an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and the ability of the ingredients to help with sebum balance, sun protection, and moisture retention, I was ready to give the product a try. I would continue to buy this product because of the smell and clean feeling. I was using apple cider vinegar and distilled water before this and while I noticed some brightening and reduction of bumps on my face, the smell and dryness were too much for me. This toner truly is restorative and has given my skin a lot of life and natural shine. My acne, redness, bumps, and scarring have also improved within the 2 weeks of using the products in combination. Very happy with the results!
