(16) Balancing Toner

A gesture of daily sophistication for those who see skincare as a ritual of excellence. Balancing Toner by Prof. Dr. Steinkraus melts into the skin's surface to refresh it, harmonise its microflora and impeccably prepare the skin for subsequent treatments. The synergy between botanical actives (heather and rye), soothing agents (panthenol, bisabolol and dipotassium glycyrrhizate) and Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) components provides instant comfort, a velvety texture and a resilient skin barrier.

Key benefits

• Balance and preparation: conditions the skin after cleansing to boost the effectiveness of serums and creams.
• Smart hydration: sodium lactate and hyaluronic acid (NMF) lock in moisture and preserve elasticity.
• Harmonised microflora: heather and rye extracts help regulate the skin's ecosystem and protect against aggressors.
• Anti-redness comfort: panthenol, bisabolol and dipotassium glycyrrhizate soothe and minimise mild irritation.
• Stabilised barrier: a fresh, even feel, ready to receive high-performance actives.

Actives and the science behind the formula

• Heather (Calluna vulgaris) and rye (Secale cereale) extracts: balancing, antioxidant and protective action; support for the microflora.
• NMF boosters (Sodium Lactate & Sodium Hyaluronate): water retention and instant softness, with a sensorially plumping effect.
• Soothing complex (Panthenol, Bisabolol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate): reduces reactivity and provides sustained comfort.
• Glycerin and Pentylene Glycol: premium humectants that improve hydration and texture to the touch.
• Sandalwood oil (Santalum austrocaledonicum): sensory refinement, an elegant profile and a rested-looking complexion.

How to use

• Application: pour into the palm and gently pat onto face, neck and décolletage, after cleansing.
• Premium routine: follow with a serum (e.g., Hyaluron Serum) and finish with the Face Care cream to seal it in.
• Frequency: daily use, morning and night; suitable for all skin types thanks to its light, fresh texture.
