Alcohol-Free Toner Alternatives

To create an alcohol-free toner, you can use several ingredients that provide hydration, soothe the skin, or act as gentle solvents. These alternatives help avoid the potential drying effects of alcohol.

Recommended ingredients include:

• Humectants:

  • Hyaluronic Acid: Attracts and retains moisture in the skin, making it look plump and smooth. Various molecular sizes are available, offering benefits to different layers of the skin.
  • Glycerin: A common humectant that helps soften and smooth the skin.
  • Butylene Glycol: Acts as both a humectant and a solvent, helping other ingredients blend and penetrate the skin more easily. It is a gentler alternative to Propylene Glycol.

• Soothing Agents:

  • Aloe Vera Extract: Known for its soothing properties, helping to reduce irritation and add moisture.

• Vitamins and Other Actives:

  • Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): Helps reduce redness and dark spots, strengthens the skin barrier, controls oil, and improves hydration, leading to healthier skin.

Combining these ingredients in your toner formulation will result in an effective alcohol-free toner that provides hydration, soothing, and nourishing benefits to the skin.
