Toner - Hydrating & Revilatising 150ml

The Bio Whenua Toner - Hydrating & Revitalising is a gentle, plant-based facial mist made to refresh, cool, and hydrate your skin after washing or throughout the day. At the heart of this soothing blend is pure Rose Hydrosol, combined with Native Mamaku Black Fern extract and cellular extracts of Kakadu Plum and Cucumber. Completely alcohol-free and naturally scented with real rose water, this light mist calms dry, tired, or sensitive skin and gets your face ready to soak in your daily serum or moisturiser, leaving your skin feeling soft, fresh, and awake.

Unlike harsh toners that use drying alcohols to strip the skin, this mist is a pure water-based blend of floral hydrosol and water-soluble plant extracts that add moisture directly to the outer layer of your skin. The base of organic Rose Hydrosol cools and balances your skin after washing, while the natural gel from Native Mamaku Black Fern holds water on the skin's surface so it feels soft and smooth. To help protect your skin from daily wear and tear, Cucumber and Vitamin C-rich Kakadu Plum cellular extracts (gentle extracts that keep the natural water-soluble vitamins from the fruit intact) provide daily antioxidant support helping to brighten your skin tone and protect skin cells from sun and pollution.

Skincare Ritual & Well-being Applications: The floral water and active plant extracts in this facial mist work together to look after your skin's natural protective barrier and keep it hydrated. In traditional New Zealand plant books, the natural gel inside Mamaku Black Fern fronds is well known for cooling the skin, soothing dry spots, and holding in moisture to keep skin feeling firm and bouncy [1]. Herbal and skincare guides also show that Kakadu Plum is one of nature's richest sources of Vitamin C to brighten dull skin, while Cucumber extract naturally cools and calms puffy or tired skin [2].

In aromatherapy guides, pure Rose Hydrosol is valued as one of the gentlest floral waters for calming skin redness and comforting dry, mature, or easily upset skin [3]. Closing your eyes, misting this soft, natural rose spray over your face and neck, and taking a slow, deep breath is a calm, uplifting ritual after washing your face, after putting on makeup, or anytime your skin feels warm and dry during the day [3].

Application: Made for daily facial care and hydration throughout the day. Close your eyes and spray a light mist evenly over your clean face and neck morning and night after washing your face, then apply your favourite Bio Whenua face serum or cream while your skin is still slightly damp. You can also mist it over makeup to set it, or spray it onto your face anytime during the day when your skin feels dry, warm, or tired.

 

Dermal Limits & Clinical Safety: Made without drying alcohols, added essential oils, or artificial scents, making it a gentle choice for all skin types, especially sensitive, dry, or easily upset skin. To keep the water-based plant extracts and floral water fresh and safe from bacteria and mould, it is preserved with a gentle, natural-skincare-approved preservation system (Gluconolactone, Sodium Benzoate, and Calcium Gluconate).

 

Storage & Degradation: Because pure floral waters and Vitamin C-rich plant extracts can break down if they get too hot or are left in bright sunlight, always keep the spray cap closed tightly and store the bottle in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sun and heaters. In warm weather, you can also keep it in the fridge for an extra-cooling spray.

 

Critical Warnings: For use on the outside of the skin only. Close your eyes before spraying onto your face. We always recommend testing a small spray on the inside of your arm for 24 hours before using it on your face for the first time. If your skin gets red or itchy, stop using it and wash the area with warm water.
