Balancing HypoTonic

The Intention Marie Veronique’s Balancing HypoTonic is a deeply intelligent, biomimetic tonic that nourishes skin at the cellular level: rehydrating, rebalancing, and restoring the integrity of the stratum corneum without disrupting the skin’s natural rhythms. This wildly effective tonic is formulated with humectants like beta-glucan, sodium hyaluronate, and d-panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) that penetrate the lipid matrix, supporting the skin’s liquid-lipid balance and fortifying its moisture barrier. Licorice root soothes and brightens, selenium protects against oxidative stress and supports microbiome health, while gentle AHAs and pre/probiotics restore optimal pH and flora. Designed to mirror the skin’s own lamellar structure, this tonic doesn’t just hydrate - it prepares and strengthens the skin’s upper layers, allowing nutrient-rich serums to absorb more effectively. Ideal as a daily reset for compromised, dehydrated, or microbiome-disrupted skin, this is hydration as nature intended:
