8 oz toner, herbal, mild exfoliator, "gentle toner"

(8 oz.)
for all skin types/normal skin/Colorado skin (dry)
This product was previously known as "Queen of Mug Herbal Toner". I also got a really good deal on 2 ounce bottles, so your order for 8 ounces of toner will come in (4) 2 oz bottles. Which I pass that savings right on to my customers so they get the best price possible:)

A centuries old formula that we now know helps protect the skin's acid mantle and balances skin's ph to maintain a healthy state. Your mug still knows what's good for it.

I recommend using "gentle toner" after cleansing your face with "Herbal oil cleanser." "Gentle toner" will help astringe, heal, soften and tone the skin. The cleansing alpha-hydroxy acids in "gentle toner" are natural, fruit acids from raw apple cider vinegar. Alpha-hydroxy's regulate the ph of the skin, which protects that ever so important acid mantle, which in turn protects you from the outside environment and some bacteria. They also cleanse and mildly exfoliate the top layer of skin. Alpha-hydroxy's mildly exfoliate the skin by dissolving the glue that holds dead skin cells together. This allows the body's natural emollient oils to reach the surface cells and help moisturize and relieve dryness.
***This action helps clear up oily skin and helps remoisturize dry skin. Amazing, isn't it?!***

Alpha-hydroxy treatments are recommended twice a week to minimize fine lines and smooth the skin.
Because of the naturally low acidity strength, "gentle toner" is a safe and easy treatment for daily at home use.

Alcohol-free!
* Why alcohol free?* Many toners are based in alcohol, which is very drying to the skin. It leaves your skin feeling dry and tight. "Gentle toner" leaves your skin feeling fresh and soft, never dry and tight!

BONUS: I have a lovely written description of how to create a ritual and ceremony when using my herbal facial care products, step by step for each product. If you would like a copy of this description, please let me know in the comment section at checkout and I will send a copy of this description to the email associated with your Etsy account, or write the email account you would like it sent to. (This description is only available when ordering one of my facial care products).

NOTE: Due to the volatility of base ingredient availability starting in 2019 with Covid and continuing to today, it is unfeasible for me to change my labels every time I am not able to purchase a base ingredient item that I have most of the time been purchasing for the past 15+ years. It is crazy out there and surprising to still find this issue to be going on in September or 2022! For this product, it now has an additional (2) ingredients that are NOT on the label for now. So please make sure to check my Etsy site ingredients for the latest and current list of ingredients in each product - as each product listing on Etsy will always be kept up to date. The two additional ingredients in this product as Neroli hydrosol and Chamomile hydrosol.


+++++TESTIMONIALS++++++
"This toner is exactly as advertised. It is gentle, a mild exfoliator, and comes packed with herbal benefits. The ACV smell does not linger and it makes my face feel smooth and purified. I want to mention that Lori is wonderful to do business with. She ensures you understand your product and encourages you to reach out with any questions or concerns. She included a sample of her cleanser which I am excited to try. I am pleased, to say the least!"
from Samantha Cato

"I recently received my package from Vital Roots. I am so sensitive I generally have to make my own skin care products, but these products are amazing! The cleanings oil feels like heaven on my skin leaving it moist and clean. The toner and wrinkle cream are just divine! And the “inside out herbal infusion”. Is the perfect blend for the end of day. It feeds my cells and warms my soul all while tasting like a bit of minty heaven. These are amazing natural products at a very reasonable price."
from Brenda Hinck Harper

"Perfect for use after the herbal oil cleanser!"
from S.S.

"Refreshing to use. The apple cider vinegar smell is subtle and goes away immediately. You're left with the nice smell of the herbs. I really like using it"
from Maryann

"I have struggled with mild acne cysts for 20 years and have used numerous products with little benefit. I purchased Lori's herbal oil cleanser, toner, and eye pop about 5 months ago and have absolutely loved it! I have not had one single cyst since using it! This is the longest I have gone in 20 years without getting a cyst!! I couldn't recommend Lori's products enough!:

+++++ ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND WHAT WE DON'T USE +++++
At Vital Roots, we believe that "all natural" means that every single, last ingredient is natural. Not that the main ingredient is natural and that's enough. Or even that almost all ingredients are natural, besides the fragrance oil and synthetic preservatives. At Vital Roots we use only natural ingredients and that includes our natural preservatives. We are....
*paraben-free *phthalate-free
* sulfate/sls-free *phenoxyethanol-free
* caprlyl glycol (Optiphen)-free * synthetic color-free
*corn, cottonseed, canola and soybean oil-free * petroleum-free
*Never any mineral oil, no solvent-extracted carrier oils, no Tetra-sodium EDTA, no polysorbate 20 or 80.
* And no fragrance oils. The term "fragrance" can have up to 4,000 separate chemicals, which the FDA does not require the manufacturer to list. Many of these chemicals are carcinogenic, toxic, or hormone disruptors.

~~~ What's left, you ask?~~~
Natural ingredients as close to what the earth gave us as we could get.
~~~ Try us, your skin will agree.~~~

NOTE: This product may or may not be safe for use during your pregnancy. This product contains the normal 2% dilution of essential oils and also contains carrot seed essential oil as part of the essential oil blend. Both of which (the dilution percentage and the inclusion of carrot seed essential oil) have been debated in the essential oil world as to whether these applications are safe for pregnant women. Lcofacirema used to carry a 'pregnant mama' line of body products and only used specific essential oils at a 1% dilution that could be used safely over the entire body. Facial care products are only used on a smaller part of the body, and some are products that wash off, but lcofacirema still urges all users to follow the advice of their knowledgeable practitioners as to whether this product is safe for use during their own pregnancy.

+++++ ABOUT VITAL ROOTS HERBS+++++
At Vital Roots, I use natural ingredients, avoid synthetic, and prefer certified organic and ethically wildcrafted, I begin from scratch, making only small batches to assure freshness. Of course no animal was harmed to test my products.
From my ongoing education, I work very hard to learn about reputable suppliers, particularly ecologically aware and environmentally concious companies, to ensure an exceptional quality for all of my products.
What's the magic? I first start with all natural cold-pressed and organic or expeller-pressed oils, steering away from solvent-extracted oils. For example, my extra-virgin cold-pressed olive oil. I then add certified organic, certified by Oregon Tilth, ethically wildharvested herbs to the base of the olive oil. I infuse the oil with the herbs by allowing them to bask in the warm Colorado sun for at least 6 weeks. This lets the heat from the sun impart the wonderful medicinal and skin-mending qualities from the herbs righ into the base oil! This potent herbal healing oil is now ready to be applied directly to the skin. The remaining oil is used in other delightful creations such as the "Baby Bum and First Aid Salve" or the "Lavender and Virginia Cedarwood Foot Butter". Then sprinkle some drops of pure essential oils into the mix. Magical? Of course!
