To be frank, it’s really challenging to differentiate what’s actually organic and what’s not these days. Companies are putting out these labels claiming to be “natural” and the best way to identify it is by checking the ingredient list. Though this may require some time and patience, you’re doing your skin a monumental favour by giving it the TLC it needs.
Facial toners, in particular, are likely to have plenty of synthetic fragrances and artificial toning agents because they’re much easier to obtain and these chemical-filled formulation also tend to have longer shelf-lives in comparison to the ones with natural ingredients.
So if you want to treat your skin better before it’s too late, here’s a round-up of the best organic toners for different skin types.
Benton is an underrated all-natural K-beauty brand that serves high-quality products at very reasonable prices. Fun fact; the name “Benton” was actually inspired by the movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” which is about a boy that ages in reverse.

Snail slimes are packed with skin-loving nutrients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Glycoprotein, Proteoglycans, Antimicrobial, and Copper Peptides. That way, you keep your skin plump and blemish-free.
