Frequently Asked Questions

What does a toner do and why use the Ananda after cleansing?

Cleansing can slightly alter the skin's natural acidic pH (4.5–5.5). A toner rebalances pH, removes any final traces of makeup or cleanser, minimises the appearance of pores, and prepares the skin to absorb the next skincare layers (serums, moisturisers) more effectively. The Ananda Toner adds a bonus antioxidant delivery step that provides immediate free radical protection before heavier products are applied.

What are plant stem cells and what do they do for skin?

Plant stem cells (typically from apple, grape, or argan) contain epigenetic factors and metabolites that protect the longevity and regenerative capacity of skin stem cells. They help maintain the skin's repair and renewal mechanisms, support collagen production, and reduce the appearance of fine lines over time. Antipodes uses certified organic plant stem cell extracts for ethical, sustainable antioxidant activity.

Is Antipodes Ananda Toner suitable during pregnancy?

Yes — Antipodes specifically notes this product is safe for use during pregnancy. The formula contains no retinoids, high-dose salicylic acid, or other ingredients typically avoided in pregnancy. Always confirm current formulation with Antipodes if any ingredient changes occur after printing.

How do I use the Ananda Toner in my skincare routine?

After cleansing, apply the toner to a cotton pad and sweep gently over the face and neck, or pour a small amount into the palms and press gently onto the skin. Follow immediately with serum and moisturiser while the skin is still slightly damp from the toner — products absorb more effectively into freshly toned, pH-balanced skin.

Is Antipodes Ananda Toner suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The gentle, alcohol-free, certified organic formula is suitable for sensitive skin types. The antioxidant botanicals are selected for efficacy with minimal sensitisation potential. Antipodes products are dermatologically tested and formulated without harsh synthetic chemicals.
