Key Benefits of Honeybee Gardens Alcohol Free Hydrating Facial Toner

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Honeybee Gardens Alcohol Free Hydrating Facial Toner:
 

Slight Moisturizing When Used Alone

According to CreamScan analysis, Honeybee Gardens Alcohol Free Hydrating Facial Toner is slightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 0.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product is purely humectant, but with a low Humectancy of 0.3 out of 10. It has zero Occlusivity as we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list.

This type of product provides relatively light moisturizing on its own but can contribute to overall moisturizing efficacy when used as part of a skincare routine, alongside another moisturizer.

Tip: Certain studies suggest that humectants alone may not effectively moisturize the skin. If you use this product as your only moisturizer, we recommend following it with one that contains at least some occlusive ingredients.

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

Skin Soothing and Calming Potential

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.

Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.
