Product Details

This tonic hydrates via a unique process designed to balance the liquid content of skin cells with the lipids that surround them; and in so doing it provides necessary support for the stratum corneum to be self sufficient.
The stratum corneum contains multiple layers of flattened cells (corneocytes), encased in a thick coating of fat or lipids. Arranged into pairs of sheets (lamellar membranes), these lamellar lipid bi-layers fill spaces between the cells, providing a formidable barrier to the outflow of water from skin (transepidermal water loss).
This biomimetic design has produced a one-of-a-kind tonic, composed of humectants with distinctive similarity to the skin’s lamellar structure. Since maintaining lamellar membrane integrity also protects the contents of the skin cells, the tonic not only promotes liquid/lipid balances, it also restores and improves overall barrier function.

How to Use

Shake well. Saturate cotton pad and swipe over entire neck and face, avoiding eye contour area. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult physician. Keep in a cool, dry place, out of direct light. Use within 6 months of opening.

About The Brand

Marie Veronique

Marie Veronique is a small batch producer and pioneer in clean, microbiome-friendly, efficacious topicals for skin health. Their products support skin health for every skin type and tone — acne, dryness, symptomatic skin, and more — with a particular emphasis on the science of age delay.

Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002, the genesis of our brand was our belief that the skin is inherently whole and resourceful on its own, with an innate quest to heal and to be in balance. This sophisticated, naturally-sustaining organ has evolved over millennia, and, contrary to what you might hear in other places, it does not need to be changed or fixed; our approach is to support it. 


The skincare industry has a notoriously bad track record of selling products by making people feel inadequate, and we are dedicated to cutting through the hyped up marketing claims, unfounded trends, and scare tactics that have historically defined it. It’s important to counter misinformation with real information!

Through tireless dedication to research and development, Marie Veronique has established themselves as thought leaders through a simple yet powerful philosophy: Tell the Truth. This commitment has had a powerful result: we are widely acknowledged as a category-defining clean beauty brand by estheticians, healthcare practitioners, the media, the industry, and, of course, our devoted clients.
