Functions
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Tonic
moisturizing
Traditional Use
Horsetail has been used in European folk medicine for centuries to support connective tissue health and as a diuretic. Traditional use includes topical application for wound healing and skin health due to its high silica content.
