🏺 Brief History

The Alcare Skin Toner 150ml forms part of the Alcare Aloe skincare range, developed by The House of Aloes in South Africa, a company established in 1986 in the Western Cape. This range is built around the use of Aloe ferox, a plant native to the region that has long been valued for its soothing, hydrating, and skin-repairing properties.

Facial toners themselves became popular in modern skincare as a follow-up to cleansing, originally used to remove residue and rebalance the skin’s pH. Over time, they evolved from alcohol-based astringents into gentler, hydrating formulas that also soothe and prepare the skin for moisturisers.

Alcare’s toner reflects this evolution by combining traditional botanical ingredients like aloe with modern skincare science, creating a mild, alcohol-free toner that hydrates, calms, and refines the skin while maintaining its natural balance.
