Balancing Toner Melnsils

FairUse cautionTonerFrom Latvia

Dzintars Balancing Toner Melnsils is a toner with 22 ingredients. It is rated "use caution" in pregnancy because it contains Salicylic Acid. Common allergens: fragrance, essential oils, alcohol denat.

Sensitive skin: fragrance, essential oils, alcohol denat. Why?
  • fragrance: Fragrance or parfum, and scent ingredients listed by name, such as linalool and limonene. The most common cause of skincare allergies; worth avoiding if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin.
  • essential oils: Plant oils such as tea tree, lavender, citrus peel, and peppermint. Natural, but a common cause of irritation and allergies, especially on sensitive or broken skin.
  • alcohol denat.: Denatured alcohol, which helps products feel light and dry fast but can dry out or sting dry and sensitive skin. Fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol are different and aren't flagged.

These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.

Is it OK for kids and teens?

Kids (ages 3–11)

Use with care

  • Acne treatment (Salicylic Acid): Benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and adapalene treat acne well, but for children under 12 it's best to check with a doctor first, and to start gently.
  • Fragrance or essential oils (Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil, Parfum, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.

Teens (ages 12–17)

Use with care

  • Essential oils (Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil): A known cause of allergic skin reactions, such as to lavender and tea tree oils.
