The Cloudberry Concentrate in our formula is a blend of fruit extract and seed oil, wildcrafted in their natural habitats in Scandinavia and processed via an eco-friendly freeze-drying method that preserves nutrients at peak potency.

How is the Cloudberry in this formula sourced?

Yes, this formula is gentle enough for younger consumers to use as it has hydrating and nourishing ingredients. While we formulate our products to be gentle for generally all skin types, we recommend checking with a dermatologist if experiencing skin concerns at a young age
How To Use in Your Skincare Routine
How often can I use this essence toner?

Can I use this with my current toner?
It depends on your toner’s ingredient list and consistency.

Both formulas should be gently pressed into skin upon application.

It levels-up your routine by synergizing with your next skincare steps.
Can I use Cloudberry Essence Toner and Watermelon Glow Toner in the same routine?
The Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner and Watermelon Glow Toner can either be used separately in your routine or can be used together in a multi-layered application. The benefit of using both together is that the moisture level of skin can be increased in an efficient and effective way without the heaviness or greasiness that may come from traditional creams and oils. It’s also a great way to hydrate all skin types, providing the optimal balance of hydration and skin’s natural oils, leaving skin with a subtle dewy glow and feeling firm and supple.
Safety
Can this product be used around the eye area?
While Cloudberry is formulated to be gentle, we recommend using ophthalmologist-tested products around the often-sensitive eye area, such as our Guava or Avocado eye creams!

Cloudberry is formulated to be gentle overall and does not contain retinol or BHA! However we always recommend consulting your doctor for the best advice before using new products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Are there any other ingredients to avoid when using this serum?
Cloudberry Essence Toner is formulated to be used in any routine to maximize the absorption and benefits of your products! Apply Cloudberry Essence Toner directly after cleansing, and layer with your favorite serums, treatments, actives, and moisturizers. The blend of ingredients in this formula were designed to be layered with all of our serums for enhanced benefits.
