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.

Spray or swipe

Choose the spray bottle for a refreshing, all-over spritz—or opt for the full-size bottle and soak a cotton round to swipe off that last layer of grime before moving on to your moisturizer.

Refreshingly different

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

    • Spray, splash, or soak a cotton round to reboot dull, tired, or oily skin. Our tonic is a leave-on product, so there’s no need to wash off. Works great for all skin types. 

    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: How do I recycle this product?
    A: 8oz bottle: Rinse and recycle the empty bottle at home. The cap is not widely recyclable at this time. 


    6.7oz spray bottle: Rinse and recycle the empty bottle at home. The cap and sprayer are not widely recyclable at this time.


    Q: What is the aroma?
    A: A refreshing medicinal brew spiked with orange, lavender, and fir.

      Would love more sustainable packaging

      I love this product, but I am also looking for ways to cut back on my plastic consumption. It would be amazing if y'all would consider going to glass containers and have refills vs. having to purchase the plastic bottles over and over again.

      Excellent Product

      I first tried this in the form of individual wipes at a vacation stay

      in Vermont. The ingredients actually are what is in this bottle .

      Very Nice product for my face. ..and being an all in one cleanser, toner, plus hydrating...it leaves my skin very nice for my night regimen.

      The Golden Recovery Cream to finish.

      I am very satisfied with these products.

      Very Good Toner

      I use this twice a day - first thing in the morning before other facial products and makeup and after cleansing at night. It's refreshing and I like the scent. Used after cleansing, it removes any residual makeup.
