Hydrating Facial Toner with Natisol

This hydrating toner with Natisol is a simple yet well-balanced product for everyday facial care. Lavender and tea tree hydrosols are especially suitable for oily and blemish-prone skin, while glycerin and D-panthenol help maintain a comfortable hydrated feel.

Natisol helps disperse the small amount of essential oils evenly throughout the water phase and reduces the risk of visible oil droplets forming on the surface.

The toner is particularly suitable for:

• oily and combination skin,
• blemish-prone skin,
• skin that feels heavy or greasy,
• refreshing the skin after cleansing,
• use before serum or moisturiser.

Ingredients for 100 g

• 48 g organic lavender hydrosol
• 47.75 g organic tea tree hydrosol
• 2 g vegetable glycerin
• 1 g D-panthenol
• 1 g Natisol
• 0.15 g organic true lavender essential oil
• 0.05 g organic tea tree essential oil
• 0.8 g Cosgard

Method

1. Disinfect your work surface, utensils and packaging.
2. In a small container, mix Natisol with both essential oils until uniform.
3. In a second container, combine both hydrosols, glycerin and D-panthenol.
4. Slowly add the water phase to the Natisol and essential oil mixture while stirring gently.
5. Add Cosgard and mix thoroughly.
6. Check the pH. Aim for approximately 4.5–5.5.
7. Transfer into a clean, sanitised spray bottle.
8. Observe the toner for 24–48 hours. If oil droplets or separation appear, increase the amount of Natisol or reduce the essential oil content.

Use

Mist onto cleansed skin with the eyes closed or apply with a cotton or reusable pad 1–2 times daily.

Follow with a serum, moisturiser or a few drops of a suitable facial oil.

For very sensitive, dry or irritated skin, I would omit the tea tree essential oil.
