Calm Redness, Clarify Complexion
Persistent redness, whether from rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, or general reactivity, acts as a signal that your skin is fighting a battle against heat and inflammation. Frankincense Toner is your daily peace offering. Reformulated as a targeted treatment within our specialized toner line, this potent herbal infusion is designed to cool the "fire" in the skin, settle irritation, and restore a calm, even tone.
 
We crafted this formula for skin that feels overwhelmed—hot, itchy, or visibly stressed. It goes beyond simple refreshment to provide a therapeutic layer of support. By combining the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with clinically recognized soothing botanicals, this toner acts as a liquid shield, helping to dampen the inflammatory response and strengthen your skin's resilience against flare-ups.
 
Targeted Botanicals for Reactive Skin
This formula features a sophisticated blend of "heat-clearing" herbs and barrier-supporting extracts, carefully chosen to address the root causes of redness and irritation.
 
Why it works:
Soothes and Stabilizes: The base of Frankincense Hydrosol offers immediate relief to inflamed tissue, while Licorice Root (Gan Cao) and Chamomile work synergistically to reduce redness and calm allergic responses.
Clears Heat and Dampness: A powerful TCM complex including Baikal Skullcap (Huang Qin), Rhubarb Root (Da Huang), and She Chuang Zi targets the "damp heat" often associated with seborrheic dermatitis and acne rosacea, helping to clarify the skin environment.
Heals and Repairs: Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) is renowned for its wound-healing properties, supporting the repair of compromised capillaries and strengthening the skin barrier. Calendula further aids in tissue regeneration.
Purifies and Protects: Green Tea Extract delivers potent antioxidants to protect stressed skin from environmental aggressors, while Bai Bu offers gentle purification to keep the skin microbiome balanced.
 
A Holistic Approach to Skin Harmony
At Silva Medica Botanicals (formerly Thirteen Moons Apothecary), we believe that calming the skin requires addressing the underlying imbalance. Frankincense Toner is an essential step in a holistic regimen for reactive skin. It prepares the face to receive moisture and actives, ensuring that your skincare routine heals rather than irritates.
 
How to Use
