Why It’s Special

One step wonder

Think of this tonic like a plant-packed elixir designed to cleanse, soothe, hydrate, and exfoliate skin all in one step. It’s a non-drying formula you don’t have to rinse off—just apply, and let it work its magic. 

Cleanses & tones

The perfect post-cleanse step, designed to lift any oil, dirt, or environmental impurities out of your pores, leaving your skin sparkling clean without stripping away moisture.   

Super soothing

Natural ingredients like Birch Sap and Green Tea work to hydrate skin, reduce the appearance of redness, and even out skin tone for a smooth, calm complexion.

Gently exfoliates

A natural blend of fruit and Maple-derived AHAs & BHA from Willow Bark help reveal a clearer, smoother-looking—while still being gentle enough for everyday use.

Refreshingly different

Nothing to hide here. Just naturally awesome ingredients that help you achieve your healthiest, happiest skin.

Use post-cleanse (or at any time) to reset and balance skin. Apply with a cotton round, or “neat” with your hands.

Q: What is the difference between Fantastic Face Wash and 4-in-1 Essential Face Tonic?
A: Our Fantastic Face Wash is a foaming wash that cleanses thoroughly with its lathering, sulfate-free formula. After cleansing, this 4-in-1 Face Tonic helps remove any lingering impurities while soothing, toning, and brightening. This multitasker also preps the skin for additional treatments (serum and moisturizer, we’re looking at you).


Pro Tip: When used on a cotton round, it can also serve as a gentle, rinse-free cleanser to swipe away excess oil or dirt when forgoing a traditional face wash.


Q: Is this an exfoliating tonic?
A: Our Face Tonic contains a refreshing, yet gentle AHA/BHA exfoliating complex to reveal clearer skin. The salicylic acid is derived from Willow Bark Extract and the glycolic acid is derived from ingredients like Lemon, Sugarcane, and Sugar Maple.


Q: Is this product pregnancy safe?
A: This product contains Willow Bark, a naturally occurring form of salicylic acid. While salicylic acid is an ingredient typically avoided during pregnancy, it is included in this product at a very low amount. 


That said, we always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider about ingredient lists and any new products during pregnancy to see what works best for you.


Q: What is the aroma?
A: A herbaceous, outside-fresh aroma spiked with real Orange, Lavender and Fir.

    Love this tonic!

    It makes my skin feel really refreshed and the scent is lovely. I gave some to my 18-year-old granddaughter, so we’ll see what she says about it.

    I haven't used skin toner in a while. So, I decided to try this toner for first time and it is refreshing and has a light fresh scent. After trying this, I am now putting this in my skincare regimen. 😁

    Moisturizing and clean without stripping

    This is my newest addition from Ursa Major and I love how this tonic wipes on so smoothly without stripping. Sometimes I apply with cotton and other times I just splash it on. Love the fresh hydrated feel
