Utopia Microflora Toner
Description
Acne, pimples, dullness, and other skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis may all flare up when your skin is out of balance.
This post-cleanse fluid acts as a toner in your skincare routine, but instead of "toning" your skin in the traditional sense, it provides a concentrated dose of beneficial microflora to recolonize the skin's surface, creating an ideal environment for clear, balanced, and healthy skin — you could call it a utopia.
Alternatively, a probiotic for your face, which also has a pH of 4.5-5.0
Key ingredients:
Sodium Hypochlorite: This turns into hypochlorous acid when in contact with water. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is naturally created by our immune system for defense against bacteria, irritation, and injury. Its antimicrobial effects make it useful for fighting acne and skin infections, and its anti-inflammatory properties help repair damaged skin and heal wounds.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: A natural anti-inflammatory juice from the leaves of an aloe plant that calms as well as hydrates skin.
Glycerin: A humectant heavyweight that helps quench dry and dehydrated skin.
Jojoba Seed Oil: An emollient, skin-identical oil that most closely resembles your natural sebum, but with a much richer source of numerous fatty acids.
Betula Alba Juice (Birch Sap): This juice from a birch tree contains trace minerals like manganese as well as various amino acids, making it a superior natural hydrator for skin. It’s also easily absorbed due to its small molecule size.
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract: Rice contains over 100 antioxidant compounds as well as polysaccharides, omega-3 fatty acids, and micronutrients — all great for conditioning and softening skin.
Apple Cider Vinegar: A mild astringent to reset pH levels of the skin, making it less hospitable to harmful bacteria.
Black BeeOme: This black bee honey ferment has been shown in clinical studies to promote regeneration of skin flora and skin barrier restoration while helping to reduce sebum production.
Sunflower Shoot Active: is a purified extract of organic sunflower sprouts — a nutrient-rich plant antioxidant. This boosts cell energy to preserve the skin’s structure and quality, and delay signs of stress-related aging.
Probacillus Revive: This contains isolates of the Lactobacillus bulgarius probiotic and oligosaccharides prebiotics, an effective combination for enhancing cellular renewal, maximizing collagen synthesis, and speeding up skin repair, for an overall improvement in skin tone and elasticity.
Atoligomer (Sea Salt Extract): This helps to restore the trace element equilibrium of the skin with a balanced cocktail of microminerals (size <50um) rich in calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc.
How to use
FOR: all skin types
Give it a few good shakes before dispensing a couple of drops into the palms of your hands.
Gently press fluid onto your face and neck until absorbed.
Warning: External use only. Avoid contact with eyes.
IMPORTANT: If you want to achieve big, start small. In this case, microscopic.
Editor's note
Your skin's delicate microfloral ecology is rebalanced with the help of Holifrog's Utopia Microflora Toner, which includes a dosage of pre and probiotics to re-establish the delicate balance (aka the microbiome). The combination of these three ingredients may help reduce inflammation, reducing redness, dryness, and irritation.
Plus, there is no tingling feeling from this milky formula, as you would expect from more astringent toners.
Apply it with your fingers instead of wiping it on with a cotton pad and wait a few minutes for it to soak in.
For us, this toner, or better said post-cleanse fluid was love at first use, due to its inflammation-fighting abilities, that function as a ‘support system’ for your skin barrier.
