Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner 250ml
A lightweight, watery toner formulated with 77% Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) extract, valued for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. Rather than relying on one hero ingredient alone, it's built with a wider soothing complex — Centella Asiatica, Burdock Root, Reishi Mushroom, and Chamomile extracts — alongside a seven-type hyaluronic acid complex for layered hydration.
Key ingredients
- Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) Extract 77% — calming, anti-inflammatory
- Centella Asiatica Extract — supports barrier repair and redness
- 7-type Hyaluronic Acid Complex — supports hydration at multiple depths
- Panthenol — supports barrier function
Best suited for
- Sensitive, reactive, or acne-prone skin
- Anyone wanting a multi-ingredient soothing complex rather than a single active
- Daily use, layered under serum and moisturiser
Screening summary
Out of the 24 ingredients, 21 passed with no comments. The three that triggered were two botanical sensitisers, Arctium Lappa (Burdock) Root Extract and Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile) Flower Extract, both from the Compositae/Asteraceae plant family. These may be sensitising for some users.
In addition, this product contains Disodium EDTA, which resists biodegradation in surface water once metal-bound. This is highlighted for environmental reasons.
We recommend a patch test before first use, particularly if you have known sensitivities to plants in the Compositae/Asteraceae family or to botanical extracts generally.
