Gin TONIQ® is an upcycled botanical active that delivers long-lasting hydration and moisturisation. Made from a by-product of gin distillation, it combines upcycled grain ferment and vegetable glycerine; by working in synergy, these ingredients help to lock in moisture, for longer. It is proven to deliver three times more moisture than glycerine alone and helps to protect the skin from dehydration. Additionally, Gin TONIQ® has been shown to reduce inflammatory marker IL-8, making it suitable for soothing and calming skincare products. Since grains are abundant in phenolic acids, minerals and cabohydrates, Gin TONIQ® can also deliver an antioxidant boost and help maintain skin health. Overall, Gin TONIQ® boosts skin’s moisture levels, combats dehydration & promotes a calmer, healthier complexion.
