Balancing HypoTonic

Marie Veronique’s Balancing HypoTonic is a deeply intelligent, biomimetic tonic that nourishes skin at the cellular level: rehydrating, rebalancing, and restoring the integrity of the stratum corneum without disrupting the skin’s natural rhythms. This wildly effective tonic is formulated with humectants like beta-glucan, sodium hyaluronate, and d-panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) that penetrate the lipid matrix, supporting the skin’s liquid-lipid balance and fortifying its moisture barrier. Licorice root soothes and brightens, selenium protects against oxidative stress and supports microbiome health, while gentle AHAs and pre/probiotics restore optimal pH and flora. Designed to mirror the skin’s own lamellar structure, this tonic doesn’t just hydrate - it prepares and strengthens the skin’s upper layers, allowing nutrient-rich serums to absorb more effectively. Ideal as a daily reset for compromised, dehydrated, or microbiome-disrupted skin, this is hydration as nature intended: aligned, resilient, and rooted in true balance.

Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002, Marie Veronique is a pioneering voice in clean, microbiome-friendly skincare: crafting small-batch, science-forward formulas that honor the skin’s innate intelligence. With a deep respect for biology, their ethos is rooted in the belief that skin doesn’t need fixing...it needs support. Each creation is the result of rigorous research and cross-disciplinary wisdom, drawing from biomedicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and holistic health to create topicals that are not only effective but profoundly thoughtful. Co-founded by chemist Marie Veronique Nadeau and guided by a mission to tell the truth in an industry riddled with misinformation, the brand has become a trusted leader among estheticians, practitioners, and conscious consumers alike. Sustainability and integrity are central to their practice - from glass bottles and reduced packaging to long-standing partnerships with like-minded suppliers. Every product reflects their dedication to the health of both skin and planet. Female-founded and led, the team behind Marie Veronique includes skin health educator Kristina Holey and visionary co-founder Kristy-Moore Jeffress, who together continue to shift the paradigm toward skincare that is ethical, effective, and radically honest.
