A gentle botanical cleansing water that lifts away excess oil, daily buildup, and light facial makeup while leaving skin feeling fresh, soft, and comfortably hydrated.

Toning Micellar Cleanser combines a mild, plant-derived micellar cleansing system with an abundant blend of alcohol-free witch hazel, green tea, rose, and lavender hydrosols. Micelles surround and lift away surface impurities without the heavy lather or tight, stripped feeling of a traditional face wash.

Alcohol-free witch hazel helps give skin a clean, refreshed feel, while green tea, rose, and lavender waters bring a calming botanical character to the cleansing ritual. 

Use it in the morning to remove overnight oil and refresh the complexion, or in the evening to gently sweep away daily residue and light, non-waterproof facial makeup. No rinsing is required, making it an easy one-step cleanse for quiet mornings, late nights, travel, or any moment when a full wash feels like too much.

How to Use

Saturate a cotton or reusable facial pad and gently sweep over the face and neck. Repeat with a fresh pad as needed until skin feels clean.

No rinsing is required.

Avoid direct contact with the eyes. For waterproof, long-wear, or stubborn makeup, use a dedicated makeup remover first.

Use morning or evening as a gentle daily cleansing step.

It is especially useful for:

  • Morning cleansing
  • Light or makeup-free days
  • Removing light facial makeup
  • Refreshing skin after exercise or travel
  • Evenings when a traditional wash is not practical

For water-resistant sunscreen, heavy makeup, or long-wear products, begin with Cleansing Balm | Jojoba · Buriti and follow with Toning Micellar Cleanser as desired.

Active Botanicals

Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Hydrosol. A refreshing botanical water traditionally associated with toning. It helps leave the complexion feeling clean, balanced, and renewed without the drying character of alcohol-based witch hazel products.

Green Tea Hydrosol. A gentle botanical distillate that contributes to the cleanser’s fresh, soothing character and helps support the appearance of calm, balanced skin.

Rose Centifolia Hydrosol. A softly aromatic floral water that brings a comforting botanical quality to the formula while helping skin feel refreshed and cared for.

Lavender Hydrosol. A delicate floral water that complements the cleanser’s calming sensory profile without the concentrated aromatic intensity of lavender essential oil.

Aloe. A highly concentrated aloe powder included to help support hydration and skin comfort.

FAQs

Q: What skin type is this for?
A: Toning Micellar Cleanser is designed for all skin types, including dry, oily, combination, and mature skin.

Q: What does “toning” mean?
A: Toning refers to the fresh, balanced, lightly hydrated feeling the cleanser leaves behind. Alcohol-free witch hazel and botanical hydrosols refresh the complexion, while humectants help support moisture and prepare the skin for the next step in your ritual. The product does not permanently tighten pores or alter their size.

Q: Is this a cleanser or a toner?
A: It is both. The micellar cleansing system lifts away excess oil, light makeup, and everyday residue, while the botanical waters and humectants leave skin feeling refreshed and hydrated like a toner. It is intended to replace a separate cleansing and toning step on lighter-cleansing days.

Q: Do I need to rinse it off?
A: No. Toning Micellar Cleanser is designed as a no-rinse cleanser. You may rinse afterward if that is your personal preference.

Q: Will it remove makeup?
A: It is designed to remove light, non-waterproof facial makeup such as tinted moisturizer, light foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, and powder.

Waterproof mascara, long-wear eyeliner, transfer-resistant lipstick, and heavier makeup may require a dedicated makeup remover or cleansing balm.

Q: Can I use it to remove eye makeup?
A: We recommend avoiding direct contact with the eyes. The formula has not been positioned as a dedicated eye-makeup remover. For mascara, eyeliner, and products worn close to the lash line, use a remover specifically designed and tested for the eye area.

Q: Will it remove sunscreen?
A: It may help lift traces of lightweight, non-water-resistant daily sunscreen, but it is not intended to reliably remove water-resistant or long-wear SPF formulas. For a thorough evening cleanse after sunscreen, begin with Jojoba · Buriti Cleansing Balm or another oil-based first cleanser.

Q: Do I need a second cleanser after this?
A: Not necessarily. For morning cleansing, makeup-free days, or light daily buildup, Toning Micellar Cleanser may be used on its own. After heavy makeup, water-resistant sunscreen, or a particularly long day, you may prefer a cleansing balm followed by a water-based cleanser.

Q: Can I use it every day?
A: Yes. It is designed for gentle daily use, morning or evening. Adjust the frequency according to your skin’s needs and discontinue use if you experience persistent irritation or discomfort.

Q: Will it leave my skin sticky?
A: The formula contains humectants that help support hydration, but it is designed to leave a light, comfortable finish rather than a heavy film. Using an overly saturated pad without wiping away the excess may leave skin feeling more dewy. Follow with a fresh pad if needed.

Q: Does it contain alcohol?
A: It does not contain drying ethanol or alcohol-denatured witch hazel. The witch hazel hydrosol is alcohol-free. The preservative system contains benzyl alcohol, which is a different ingredient used to protect the product from microbial contamination.

Q: Does it contain fragrance?
A: No added fragrance or essential oils are used. Its soft botanical aroma comes naturally from witch hazel, green tea, rose, and lavender hydrosols.

Q: How should I store it?
A: Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not dilute the product or add water to the bottle.

Q: How long will one bottle last?
A: That depends on how saturated you make each pad, and whether you use it once or twice daily. A 236 mL bottle typically provides approximately 80 uses, depending on how generously you saturate your facial pad. With once-daily use, one bottle may last around 11–16 weeks. With twice-daily use, it may last approximately 5–8 weeks. The exact lifespan will vary based on your application method, the type of facial pad you use, and whether you repeat the cleansing step with a fresh pad.
