Review

Results you may expect from using Environ Skin Care Botanical Infused Moisturizing Toner:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Environ Skin Care Botanical Infused Moisturizing Toner:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: Environ Skin Care Botanical Infused Moisturizing Toner has an anti-wrinkle rating of 2.0 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.

  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Environ Skin Care Botanical Infused Moisturizing Toner has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Sorbitol (est. ≈6.0%), Butylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%) and Sodium Lactate (est. ≈3.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Environ Skin Care Botanical Infused Moisturizing Toner has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 2.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈1.3%), 
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Environ Skin Care Botanical Infused Moisturizing Toner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Niacinamide (est. ≈1.3%), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Environ Skin Care Botanical Infused Moisturizing Toner is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Panthenol (est. ≈2.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
