The Hydrating Toner by Biba de Sousa Los Angeles is a formula developed in a cosmetic salon, created to replenish hydration levels, support moisture retention, and prepare the skin for better absorption of serums and creams. Designed for dehydrated, sensitive, or unbalanced skin, it provides deep hydration without a heavy feel, residue, or pore clogging.
Key benefits
• Deep hydration without a heavy feel – Humectants attract and bind moisture to the skin, delivering water where it's needed, without stickiness or a heavy sensation. • Supports the skin barrier – Phospholipids and Sphingolipids help strengthen the skin's natural barrier and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL). • Soothes and calms – Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, honey, and botanical ingredients help visibly reduce irritation and redness. • Improves skin comfort and elasticity – Alleviates tightness and discomfort associated with dehydration, restoring skin balance. • Prepares skin for skincare products – Hydrated skin more effectively absorbs serums and creams. • Lightweight, non-comedogenic formula – Hydrates without clogging pores or causing additional oiliness. • Suitable for all skin types – Including dry, sensitive, acne-prone, oily, and post-treatment skin.
What makes it unique
Unlike traditional toners focused on removing excess sebum, this formula prioritizes hydration balance and skin comfort. It absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft, calm, and refreshed—without tightness, oversaturation, or an artificial feel. Deuterium Oxide (Heavy Water) at a 1% concentration is a standout ingredient supporting cellular hydration. Sodium PCA, a natural humectant present in the skin, works synergistically with Hyaluronic Acid, attracting and retaining moisture. Phospholipids and Sphingolipids mimic the skin's lipid structure, strengthening its protective barrier. Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid (PHA), gently conditions without irritating even sensitive complexions. Borago (Borage Seed) Oil and Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Seed Oil provide light lipid nourishment, and Myrrh (Commiphora Myrrha) Oil adds soothing botanical support.
Developed from an aesthetician's expertise
Created based on the many years of experience of Biba de Sousa—a celebrity aesthetician from Los Angeles—working with dehydrated, reactive, acne-prone, and post-treatment skin. The formula focuses on long-term hydration rather than just a temporary surface effect.
