Centipeda and Manuka Honey B+ Refining Toner effectively tones sebaceous skin prone to acne.
This beautiful Refining Toner is also suitable for improving dull, lifeless skin, or treating skin with open or clogged pores.
Centipeda cunninghamii (Old Man Weed) is a powerful bush remedy used traditionally for wounds.
Manuka Honey is a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. Full of bioflavonoids and minerals that support skin barrier health, it also helps to balance pH and sloughs away dead cell debris to reveal clear skin. Manuka Honey also inhibits the function of MMPs matrix (metalloproteinases), a group of enzymes that are responsible for collagen destruction and degradation. This protects the integrity of collagen production and cell turnover, keeping skin looking healthy and glowing.
Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) supports the skin barrier function by keeping skin moist and flexible as well as soothing and repairing irritated skin.
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) stimulates the synthesis of natural ceramides in skin. It can help strengthen the skin barrier and improve its ability to tolerate external aggressors (such as pollen, chemicals, artificial fragrances and harsh weather). B3 is also a powerful anti-oxidant and helps brighten by breaking up melanin clumps.
WHAT IT DOES
- Restores healthy pH
- Brightens by dissolving dead skin cells and debris

- Boosts collagen and ceramide production
Formulated with organic Aloe Vera juice and mixed weight Hyaluronic Acid, this super gentle but effective toner is non-astringent, non-drying, and protects the acid mantle.
Also contains Gluconolactone, a gentle PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) that mildly exfoliates and hydrates, and Tasmanian Mountain Pepper Berry (Tasmannia lanceolata) which is an instant anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory.
Manuka Honey is made by bees who feed exclusively on Leptospermum scoparium, a species of tea tree endemic only to eastern Australia and New Zealand. The organic manuka honey used in Founder's Formula products is harvested from bees who feed on Leptsospermum that grow wild on the sand dunes of Guugu Yimmithirr country in Cape York Peninsula. The Dhubbi Warra Aboriginal Corporation is paid a royalty for each kilo of Manuka Honey we purchase.

Skin reactions
If you experience a skin reaction which you believe is related to use of one of our products, please take a photo and email us at hq@foundersformula.com.au. One in fifty people are sensitive to Vitamin C. If you are one of these people you will experience the reaction with your first occasion of use. Please return the full bottle less the single use with your receipt and place of purchase, and we will refund you the cost of postage and replace the product with one better suited to your skin type.
All our products are formulated for sensitive skin and thoroughly tested on our cohort of human individuals with a history of skin sensitivity (including our founder whose own skin sensitivity ignited her drive to understand skin care ingredients!). It is well known that some individuals will react to Vitamin C. If you have not experienced a reaction to other Vitamin C products you have used and believe this is the first Vitamin C product you have reacted to, it is likely that this is because those products were low in Vitamin C. Vitamin C is highly unstable, a characteristic consistent with its effectiveness as an anti-oxidant. Vitamin C breaks down as it binds quickly with oxidants, hence its brilliance as an anti-oxidant!
The Natural Vitamin C used in Founder's Formula products is derived from natural plant essences found in Kakadu Plum which are extracted from the plant using a ground breaking scientific technique pioneered in Australia. Kakadu Plum has more Vitamin C than any known plant on earth. The extraction method used ensures that the full plant profile is extracted resulting in a Vitamin C product that is bio-compatible and less likely to irritate than a Vitamin C created in a laboratory as pure ascorbic acid (pure Vitamin C).
