Heartleaf Toner

Benton Heartleaf Toner features low-temperature-extracted Jirisan Heartleaf extract (Houttuynia Cordata Extract), along with pore care and moisturising/calming components. Specifically designed for those with oily skin, enlarged pores and sensitive skin, the toner incorporates a tannin complex composed of eight plants rich in tannins to effectively address concerns related to enlarged pores and excessive sebum.

Lightweight Defence and Protection: This lightweight toner absorbs fast with a hint of fresh grass. Heartleaf soothes irritation, while sodium PCA & hyaluronic acid plump with hydration. Benton's Tannin Complex minimises pores and controls oil for a balanced look. Gentle even on sensitive skin, it refreshes and soothes for a calm, healthy complexion.

Heartleaf (Houttuynia Cordata)

Derived from a plant native to Southeast Asia, it boasts a rich history in traditional medicine. Abundant in antioxidants, it plays a role in the anti-ageing process by combating free radicals, and has the potential to prevent sun damage from harmful UV rays. With notable anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties, it proves effective in preventing bacterial and viral infections on the skin. Beyond these benefits, its contributions to skin brightening and moisturization make it a versatile and valuable addition to any skincare formulation.

Sodium PCA

The sodium salt of PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), it is a natural amino acid derivative that occurs naturally in the skin. Its high biocompatibility makes it an ideal skincare ingredient. Acting as a potent humectant, Sodium PCA excels in drawing and retaining moisture in the skin’s upper layers, contributing to a rejuvenated and youthful complexion. Often combined with other humectants such as hyaluronic acid, it synergistically boosts the effectiveness of additional active ingredients. This versatile compound is suitable for all skin types, providing hydration and support for overall skin health.

Tannin Complex

Containing oak leaves, grapes, coffee beans, safflower, Japanese knotweed roots, green tea, chestnut shells and Japanese prickly-ash fruits. These compounds are rich in tannins, thought to help with enlarged pores and sebum control.

Sodium Hyaluronate

The salt form of hyaluronic acid, it is often used interchangeably with hyaluronic acid on cosmetic labels. While both share beneficial components, sodium hyaluronate stands out as a more stable and bioavailable ingredient. Its remarkable capacity to attract and retain moisture—up to 1000 times its weight—makes it a potent humectant. Combating dryness, it aids the skin in retaining moisture, ultimately smoothing the complexion and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its gentle nature allows for use on all skin types.
