Natural Facial Toner

Secret d'Éclat Facial Toner: a natural, soothing, anti-acne concentrate

Secret d’Éclat embodies our vision of authentic beauty: simple, transparent, and effective formulas based on our star ingredient: sea buckthorn. This facial toner draws its power from native sea buckthorn berry water, extracted using our patented solvent-free, heat-free process from our 26-hectare plantation certified as organic.

While other brands focus on fragrance and alluring textures, we’ve chosen purity. Our berry water naturally delivers its water-soluble active ingredients: stable vitamin C (15 times more than an orange), gently exfoliating malic acid, and soothing flavonoids. These compounds work in synergy to provide immediate comfort and skin that glows with health.

Why is our skincare water effective?

The effectiveness of Secret d’Éclat lies in the synergy of soothing and purifying ingredients naturally found in sea buckthorn berry water, selected specifically for skin prone to breakouts and redness.

Sebum Regulation — A clinical trial involving 10 volunteers showed that a formulation containing 1% sea buckthorn fruit extract reduced sebum production by 45% after 8 weeks of use, with no side effects¹. Less sebum means a less favorable environment for breakouts.

Targeted antibacterial action — Flavonoids from sea buckthorn fruit have been shown to inhibit Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes), the bacterium responsible for the formation of acne breakouts. Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), which is included in our formula, enhances this purifying action.

Soothing effect on redness — The polyphenols in sea buckthorn berries (quercetin, isorhamnetin) help calm skin reactions by stabilizing mast cells and reducing the release of histamine³ ⁴. Hydrolyzed brown algae complement this action by forming a protective film that soothes feelings of discomfort.

Even skin tone — The malic acid naturally found in berry water gently exfoliates to help unclog pores and smooth the skin’s texture, without irritating sensitive skin.

The result? Soothed skin, reduced blemishes, and a clearer, more even complexion.

Skincare water: an essential beauty routine

Skincare water has become an essential part of today’s beauty routine. Unlike a simple scented water or an energizing water that focuses on fragrance, true skincare water delivers active ingredients that benefit the skin. Secret d’Éclat falls into this category: every spray delivers a concentrated dose of benefits for your skin.

The beauty market offers several types of cosmetic waters. Energizing water appeals with its fragrance and fresh notes, making it ideal for a quick olfactory boost. Revitalizing water promises to awaken the senses with its invigorating essences. Perfumed water, on the other hand, is more akin to a light body fragrance. However, these waters focus primarily on scent and top notes, without any real benefit for skin health.

Our Secret d’Éclat skincare water takes a radically different approach. Free from synthetic fragrances and artificial scents, it contains 99% naturally derived ingredients for proven effectiveness. Organic sea buckthorn berry water is at the heart of this formula: it deeply hydrates, soothes, and purifies the skin. It’s a toner that truly cares for the skin, not just a product that smells good.

Facial toner: a natural toner and daily skincare product

Used as a toner after cleansing, our skincare water prepares the skin to receive your moisturizer. It removes mineral deposits from tap water, restores the skin’s pH balance, and tightens pores. The skin feels instantly fresher and more comfortable, ready to absorb your day or night cream.

Unlike traditional toners or makeup removers, which can leave a greasy film, our toner absorbs instantly. No residue, no sticky feeling—just clean, soothed skin. Those with combination to oily skin especially appreciate its light texture: hydration without the greasiness.

For sensitive and reactive skin, Secret d’Éclat offers a gentle alternative to the scented toners on the market. The absence of essential oils helps prevent adverse reactions. Redness is soothed, tightness disappears, and comfort is restored from the very first application.

For the body: freshness and a sense of well-being after a shower or bath

When applied to the body, it extends the benefits of your shower or bath. After using shower gel, a few sprays of this refreshing mist on damp skin provide an unparalleled sensation of freshness. The body mist complements the cleansing process by providing hydration and soothing relief.

For heavy legs after a long day at work, tired feet, or sun-exposed arms: wherever your skin needs a boost, our skincare mist provides instant relief. The fine, refreshing mist absorbs effortlessly without the need for massage—a quick beauty fix for busy days.

In the summer, keep your bottle in the fridge: it’ll feel even more refreshing. Just spray it on your body before heading out, and you’ll be able to handle the heat with ease. That’s the secret to keeping your skin feeling fresh and comfortable, even in hot weather.

For hair: natural shine and vitality

The high vitamin C content in sea buckthorn berry water also benefits your hair. Sprayed lightly along the lengths, our hair care water restores shine and vitality to dull or tired hair. Oil-free and non-greasy, it won’t weigh your hair down—perfect for a quick refresh between shampoos.

Colored or sun-damaged hair regains its natural shine. Dry ends appear softer and more vibrant. And unlike scented hair sprays that simply mask odors, our hair treatment works deep within the hair shaft.

Water for the whole family

Suitable for sensitive and reactive skin

Free of essential oils and alcohol, our toner is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. People with rosacea, eczema, or dermatitis can use it with confidence. The dermatologically tested formula ensures optimal skin tolerance.

For men, too

Skincare toner isn’t just for women. Men appreciate its no-frills effectiveness: no overpowering fragrance, no greasy texture—just results. After shaving, it soothes irritation and nicks.

The spray bottle: convenience and hygiene

Our skincare water comes in a 100-ml spray bottle, the perfect size for daily use. The spray system delivers a fine, even mist that spreads evenly over the skin. No direct contact with the product, no risk of contamination—perfect hygiene is maintained right down to the last drop.

The 100 ml size is allowed in the airplane cabin: bring your water with you on your trip to keep your skin fresh and hydrated even while on the go. The compact bottle fits easily into a purse or toiletry bag.

Ingredients and composition: the transparency of a concise formula

We believe in beauty through simplicity and naturalness. While some energizing waters or toners contain 30, 40, or even 50 ingredients, our skincare water contains fewer than 15. Each ingredient serves a specific purpose and has proven effectiveness. No fillers, no marketing gimmicks—just the essentials for your skin.

All of our ingredients are selected for their effectiveness AND safety. Our Yuka score of 100/100 attests to the quality of our formulation.
