What does Sea Splash Toning Essence do?
Sea Splash Toning Essence balances skin’s pH, soothes irritation, and delivers a deep wave of hydration — all while visibly brightening and supporting a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion. With Vitamin C, seaweed, and aloe, it acts like an ultra-light serum in a toner’s body.
Who is Sea Splash Toning Essence best for?
Sea Splash Toning Essence is ideal for all skin types, especially those looking to brighten dullness, minimize pore appearance, and prep the skin for deeper absorption of serums and moisturizers. Perfect for dry, mature, sensitive, and combination skin. Men often choose Sea Splash Toning Essence as a hydrating alcohol-free aftershave.
How do I use Sea Splash Toning Essence?

What makes Sea Splash Toning Essence different from other toners?
Unlike ordinary toners that rely on drying alcohols or astringents, Sea Splash Toning Essence uses non-alcoholic witch hazel and a base of bioavailable seaweed actives, Vitamin C, and aloe vera to balance and hydrate the skin — without stripping it. While it does contain phenethyl alcohol as a natural preservative, this is a skin-safe, non-drying fatty alcohol used to maintain product freshness.
Sea Splash Toning Essence is rich in fucoxanthin, fucoidan, alginates, and polysaccharides — marine compounds clinically associated with hydration, barrier support, antioxidant activity, and visible skin renewal. It’s more than a toner — it’s the foundation for a fully optimized skincare routine.

What should I follow Sea Splash Toning Essence with?
Follow with your favourite Seaflora serum and/or moisturizer. It perfectly preps the skin for optimal absorption of everything that follows.

Hello hydration! Perfect for my oily skin under my make up in the morning, and I wouldn’t go to bed without this step in my skin care routine. My skin feels like it is finding its balance.

This is an amazing product. It absolutely made the difference for my acne prone skin. It has calmed my oily skin completely and I can’t believe I ever went without it before!

I was hesitant to use a toner, it seemed like an unnecessary step but I decided to give it a try and my skin has responded really well! My biggest issue is cystic acne and I haven’t had an issue since using the cleanser and toner combo.

When I say this toner works wonders, I mean it. My skin hated every other toner I’d tried before Seaflora, and now my skin is thanking me with smaller pores and incredibly soft skin! I am so happy with this product!

You will never find another toner like this, anywhere, ever!

Of all the brands I’ve carried Seaflora is not my favourite, however, this product IS THE BEST toner of all the brands I’ve ever carried. It lives in a league of it’s own, and shouldn’t even be called a toner… but a tonum? serner? A new word that means a product that is half toner, half serum. The Best.

Me Before Seaflora: Who uses toner? And Why?
Me After Seaflora: OMG – this is a toner worth using – addicted to the glow!

A toner that smells like the ocean! I love it! It refreshes my face before I use one of Seaflora’s moisturizers. You don’t need much of it. Just the size of a dime.

I thought this product wouldn’t last very long, given the size of the bottle. But it went such a long way!! I am so impressed how well it spreads, and how refreshing it is. Definitely buying again.

Calling this a toner is confusing… it’s like a clarifying serum that brightens and balances the skin. Never would spend money on a “toner” before trying Seaflora’s Splash Toner. Wow it’s really something!

This toner is gold!! I absolutely love how long it lasts, and the hydration it provides.

This is my all-time favourite Seaflora product. It’s the only way I enjoy the feeling of sunscreen on my skin. I mix this in the morning with my favourite non-toxic sunscreen and let it soak in for 15 minutes. I use it twice a day every day and only go through 2-3 a year! Everyone should try this at least once — with caution ;)!

If you know, you know. This is NOT a Toner! This is a Vitamin C serum with so much nutrition it’s incredible the way it transforms my skin and preps it for hyaluronic acid rich moisturizer I apply over top of it. Fantastic!
