Pacifica Beauty Vegan Collagen Hydrating Milk Tonic

MoisturizingGlyceryl stearate se, Sodium hyaluronate + 3 moreWorks
“This gentle, alcohol-free tonic is a hydrating milky skin drink that delivers a refreshing floral water essence with vegan collagen, chamomile, orange flower and jasmine.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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).

“The vegan collagen is produced through a plant-based fermentation process that uses zero animal inputs, meaning you can enjoy its hydrating and elasticity-boosting qualities without it weighing on your conscience.”
