What it does
Oil-prone skin has been sold harsh toners for decades, and most of them work by stripping — which is exactly what makes skin produce more oil.
Lemon balm offers soothing, gently astringent botanical support instead, and neroli brings a fresh aromatic quality that makes the step worth taking. It calms warmth and congestion without taking anything away.
What you’ll notice
How to use
Mist directly onto the skin after cleansing or between steps. Apply what comes next while skin is still damp — that is when it does the most good.
Mist
Spray directly onto the face and apply your next step while skin is still damp.
Sweep
Saturate a cotton round and sweep gently over areas prone to congestion or warmth.
Refresh
A light mist whenever skin feels warm, shiny or reactive.
Founder note
“I love formulas that prove you don’t always need more ingredients to create a beautiful experience.
These pure botanical hydrosols are simple, aromatic and incredibly versatile. I use them throughout a facial to hydrate, refresh and add another layer of botanical support without overcomplicating the skin.”

Questions
The aromatic water left after steam-distilling a plant. It carries the plant’s own water-soluble compounds — far gentler than an essential oil, and used undiluted.
No. It is alcohol free. The astringency comes from the lemon balm itself and does not strip.
Lemon Balm + Neroli for combination, oil-prone or congested skin. Damask Rose for dry, sensitive or reactive skin.
Yes. It is useful anywhere that gets warm or congested.
Plenty of people do — one for warmer months and congestion, the other for when skin is dry or reactive.
