Toner types
| Toner | Main ingredients | Skin type |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrating toner | Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol | All skin, dry skin |
| Rose toner | Rose water or hydrosol, glycerin | Normal and sensitive |
| Exfoliating AHA/BHA toner | Glycolic, lactic or salicylic acid | Dull, congested skin |
| Oil-control toner | Niacinamide, witch hazel, zinc | Oily skin |
Glycolic acid and pH
Glycolic acid toners exfoliate through a low pH, usually 3 to 4, and use acid levels of a few percent. Too low a pH or too high a strength irritates. Directions to start slowly are essential. Add a sunscreen to your range.
True rose water vs flavouring
Rose water can be a true hydrosol from distilled petals or a water with a rose fragrance. Customers care. State what you use, and expect different cost and stability.
Sprays and bottles
Fine-mist sprays suit toners and face mists. Flip-top bottles suit cotton pad use. Choose according to how the customer applies it.
How a toner is developed
We choose the base water or hydrosol, then the actives and humectants. Acid toners need a stable pH and a buffer; hydrating toners need a gentle preservative system.
Clarity and smell matter: toners are watery, so any haze or off-note shows. We test in clear and amber bottles.
For sprays we test the nozzle, since some formulas clog or dribble.
Selling a toner
Toners are inexpensive and easy to trial. Position by concern: hydrating, exfoliating, oil control. Explain where it fits in the routine: after cleansing, before serum.
Many customers buy a toner as their first step into a routine. Offer it with a face wash.
