HYDRATE : Skin Toner & Hydrating Mist
Firms and tones • Soothes and hydrates • Aids in healing sun damaged and aging skin
DESCRIPTION
The number one ingredient in our HYDRATE spray is Rose Geranium hydrosol. Hydrosols are the water portion of making essential oils. This water "bi-product" is full of molecules that have an affinity for the skin. Geranium in particular is very gentle, anti-inflammatory, and healing to the skin, as well as having a cooling and soothing nature to will help balance oily, dry, or sensitive skin types. Address the signs of aging sun damaged skin by naturally regenerating skin cells.
Other ingredients were chosen for their soothing, hydrating, mist pore refining, and healing abilities. The addition of sandalwood essential oil was chosen for its antiseptic and astringent properties. It is also very healing for problem skin conditions like eczema psoriasis, and acne. Sandalwood and Geranium are very calming to the nervous system.

Botanical Alchemy
ROSE GERANIUM HYDROSOL Pelargonium graveolens provides superior balance for oily as well as sensitive and dry skin.
WITCH HAZEL Hamamelis aids the repair of broken skin, and fights bacteria. It helps reduce pore size and benefits oily and dry mature skin, and improves skin that is prone to acne or blemishes. The Witch Hazel extract used in EAA products has been double distilled, and contains 86% Witch Hazel extract and only 14% alcohol, making it more soothing.
ALOE VERA Aloe barbadensis is very anti microbial and anti inflammatory. It assists the skin to heal quickly, minimizes scarring, and moisturizes without feeling oily. The vitamin E and C present help to improve skin's natural firmness and aids in keeping the skin hydrated.
GLYCERIN is a natural humectant (attracts water) and seals in moisture. It helps maintain the skin's water balance on an intracellular level, while its emollient-like properties soften and soothe the skin.
WILLOW BARK EXTRACT Salix nigra has anti inflammatory and anti microbial properties to balance and tone the skin.
HYALURONIC ACID Sodium hyaluronate is recognized as the most effective natural moisturizer ever discovered. It fills the space between collagen and elastic bundles in the cells. It is not absorbed when it is applied to the skin, but instead forms a thin, light surface film, like that of skin, that fixes the moisture onto the surface of the skin.
MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON improves cellular health. Our marine phytoplankton comes from the pristine waters of Canada's west coast. It contains nearly every trace element of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, co-enzymes, enzymes, and antioxidants needed for survival, including a high concentration of omega 3 fatty acids, which penetrate deeply into the skin to provide long lasting moisture and powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage. Phytoplankton can help calm inflammation and relieve redness and swelling.
FRANKINCENSE Boswellia carteri is effective in preventing bruising, treating traumatic injury, inflammation, anti-oxidant, damaged skin, wrinkles, scars, wounds, antimicrobial, focus, cognition, memory, calming, anti-spasmodic.
HYDRATE mist can be used as a skin toner before applying moisturizer. It will help to spread your moisturizer more evenly if you apply to a freshly misted face. Spray it directly onto your face, or into the palm of your hand and then press into the skin. Now we’re ready for our moisturizer.
For more oily or combination skin, like mine, I like to mix LUSH with a couple of pumps of HYDRATE to thin the concentration. If you live in a drier climate, or have dry or aging skin, you may find that you require extra moisture, especially after exfoliating. Add 2 to 3 drops of NECTAR serum in addition to the HYDRATE before to help balance your thirsty skin.
ALTERNATIVE USES
HYDRATE is also great for revitalizing the hair by rehydrating, nourishing and softening the hair. If you go for several days without washing, or live in a drier climate, freshen your hair by misting it with a few sprays, then scrunch or press into the hair.
Use HYDRATE for full-body hydration. We love to apply it as an after-sun toner. If you’ve been out in the sun, its cooling properties will soothe sunburns. It’s also good on any skin abrasion, chapped skin, airplane skin, or wind and sun exposed skin. To use as soothing and hydrating aftershave on the face or legs, simply mist over the desired area, and gently press in using the palms of your hands.
Spray HYDRATE over your pillow before bed for a soothing aromatherapy mist.
