DESERT RAINDROPS
Natural, Herbal Toner for Acne-Prone Skin
Most toners are alcohol-based astringents that strip skin to get clean. Desert Raindrops works differently. This is a creosote hydrosol — made through steam distillation of wild-harvested creosote from the Sonoran Desert, which captures the full output of the plant. The result is a gentler, more complete formula that delivers everything creosote has to offer: powerful anti-inflammatory properties, acne-clearing abilities, and the kind of deep cleansing that doesn't leave skin dry or irritated. Clear pores, calm inflammation, and reset skin after cleansing without disrupting what's already working.
Pair this hydrosol with our DESERT RAIN BALM for the ultimate creosote experience.
Aqua (Distilled Water), Larrea Tridentata (Creosote) Flower, Leaf, and Stem Water

FULL-PLANT DISTILLATION
Most toners use isolated extracts or synthetic actives. This one is made through steam distillation of the whole creosote plant, capturing everything it has to offer — the complete, nuanced output of the plant.
CREOSOTE
The plant Native Americans have used for generations to treat over 60 ailments. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties make it one of the most powerful natural acne-clearing ingredients the desert produces — and most skincare has never touched it.

SHORT LIST. BIG RESULTS.
CREOSOTE
Wild-harvested from the Sonoran Desert mountains. One of the most medicinally powerful plants in North America, used for generations to treat wounds, rashes, burns, and inflammation. As a hydrosol, it delivers the full anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits of the plant directly to your pores.
DISTILLED WATER
The base that makes the hydrosol possible. Steam-distilled through the creosote plant material, it carries the plant's compounds into the formula and ensures everything absorbs cleanly without residue or irritation.
