The Story

Oriental Botanica draws on traditional Eastern herbal wisdom and modern plant extraction, and brings skincare back to three simple steps: Awaken, Nourish, Fortify. In Eastern herbal thinking, skin with good 'qi' (vital flow) looks moist and luminous. This toner is the 'Awaken' step: not just hydration, but the start of a smoother routine.

Key Ingredients

• Astragalus Hydrosol 36% — Helps dull skin look brighter and more lively.
• Centella Hydrosol 20% — Soothing; supports a more resilient skin barrier.
• Fermented Tremella Filtrate 10% — Gentle hydration for softer, suppler skin.
• Fermented Reishi Filtrate 5% — Antioxidant care; helps calm the look of redness.
• Ginkgo, Pueraria & Mulberry Root Bark — Help skin tone look more even and clear.
• Also contains — Job's tears (coix seed) extract, hyaluronic acid and peony root extract.

Texture

• Texture — Clear and watery.
• Absorption — Sinks in quickly when patted in.
• Skin feel — Softly moisturised, never sticky.
• Next steps — Helps the products that follow absorb more evenly.

Benefits

• Week 1 — Skin feels less dry and tight, makeup sits better, and dullness looks reduced.
• Weeks 2–3 — A more natural, healthy-looking complexion, more even texture and less visible redness.
• Ongoing use — A clear, steady, luminous look.

How to Use

After cleansing, pat a generous amount into the face and neck morning and evening. For a boost, soak a gel or sheet mask (or a freeze-dried mask) in it as a compress. Follow with Reishi Vital Essence and Ginseng Fortifying Cream for the full Awaken · Nourish · Fortify routine.

Tips

Sensitive skin: the formula is gentle, but rich in plant actives, so patch test before first use. Not recommended during active breakouts or a very reactive skin flare.
