What does the product description say?

Hydrating Mist Toner

Source: From product name

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, cocos nucifera water.

When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

glycerin 3.6% - 5.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

cocos nucifera water 5.4% - 8.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin

camellia sinensis leaf extract 2.7% - 4.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

Anti-oxidation

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Tea extract. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin

camellia sinensis leaf extract 2.7% - 4.1%
