Vitis V Face TonIQ is pure, clean, nutrient -rich and contains skin nourishing, fortifying and boosting compounds that are essential for optimal skin function. Required, needed, fundamental, indispensable and necessary are the definitions of essential. Vitis V Face TonIQ contains compounds that our body cannot make, they must be supplied. By applying these fully active, bio-available, essential compounds directly to the skin topically ensures that their action is most effective, concentrated and potent.

Cold pressed, unrefined, unfiltered, raw, unfermented grapeseed oil which is enriched with white grape seed extract.
