Many skincare products contain harsh alcohols that can leave your skin feeling tight and dry, but our micellar waters and toners are different. We’ve carefully formulated them to be gentle and nourishing, so they cleanse effectively while keeping your skin balanced and comfortable.

Benzyl Alcohol: A Gentle Preservative That’s Kind to Your Skin – Not Alcohol
At Valley Mist, we believe in keeping things as natural as possible while ensuring your skincare stays fresh and effective. That’s why we use Benzyl Alcohol, a mild preservative commonly found in nature and used in skincare to prevent bacteria growth. Unlike drying alcohols, Benzyl Alcohol won’t strip your skin of moisture or disrupt your beautiful microbiome—instead, it simply helps protect your micellar water so you can enjoy every drop with confidence.
The Power of Floral Waters in Skincare
Floral waters, also known as hydrosols, are the gentle and aromatic waters produced during the steam distillation of essential oils. These delicate botanical waters contain beneficial plant compounds that help to soothe, refresh, and balance the skin. In our micellar water for normal to dry skin, we use Lavender Floral Water, known for its natural ability to help reduce redness and calm sensitive skin. This makes it an excellent addition to your skincare routine, providing hydration while supporting a healthy, radiant complexion.
Pure, Phthalate-Free Skincare
We only use pure essential oils in our formulations—never synthetic fragrances, and certainly never phthalates. Our commitment to natural skincare means you get genuine botanical benefits without unnecessary additives. Your skin deserves only the best, and we’re dedicated to delivering products that respect both your health and the planet.
What Our Customers Say About Our Alcohol-Free Toner
We love hearing how much you enjoy our micellar waters and toners! Here’s what one of our happy customers had to say:
This product will literally take all your makeup off! My skin is left feeling clean without being stripped of everything—other micellar waters left my face feeling ‘tacky.’ The combined toner is great as a one-step cleanser. I use this before applying facial oil, and it keeps my skin really hydrated, which moisturisers don’t now that I have mature skin (I’m 52).
Your feedback keeps us inspired, and we’re thrilled to know our products make a difference in your skincare routine.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. All Valley Mist glass products are part of our Glass Return System, helping to reduce waste and promote a circular economy. By returning your empty glass bottles, you’re not just caring for your skin—you’re caring for the planet too.
