Sometimes the easiest solutions are the best. Meet One Thing - a Korean beauty brand with simple solutions good for your skin. One Thing decided to focus on one ingredient which every person with sensitive and acne-prone skin enjoys - Centella. How does One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner work? Can One Thing products help you create even more sustainable products?
Why Centella?
If I would ever tell you that Centella Asiatica belongs to the Apiaceae family and is related to celery, you would probably never believe me. But that's a fact! Centella is a herb with a long tradition and few nicknames. You probably heard names such as tiger grass or Gotu kola, but Asiatic pennywort might be new to you. This plant grows in many beautiful places like India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and Madagascar. This plant loves the humid climate. Centella has a wide use - from herbal medicine to culinary. I believe at this point you expect me to say "it's a hanbang ingredient", but Centella's roots are in Ayurveda and many African and Asian countries, Centella has been a folk remedy for ages. Its main use as a folk remedy is to boost your brain as well as to help with anxiety, stomach issues, hepatitis and inflammation of the urinary tract. Centella has wide use in skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis or vitiligo.
We should ask one important question, why Centella is so popular in skincare? To find that out, we should look deeper into Centella. This plant contains substances called " triterpene saponins" - bioactive compounds of many plants. Centella has many of them, but we mostly talk about four different triterpene saponins in skincare: madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid. Depending on the place where the Centella comes from, the number of different triterpene saponins might be a bit different. One Thing is using locally-harvest Centella. This ingredient in skincare has many positive effects. While many of us use strong products to fight pigmentation after a pimple, we usually choose products to fight PIH - post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. That's a mistake because post-acne pigmentation and scars are not PIH, but PIE - post-inflammatory erythema. PIH and PIE are not the same, and how do you treat irritated skin? Not by irritating it more, but instead, we are focusing on calming the skin. Centella is a powerful healing ingredient - it speeds up wound healing. It stimulates collagen production which has positive effects on scars and wrinkles. It strengthens the blood vessels in the skin, that's why it might help with visible blood vessels - especially if your skin is thin, you might want to add Centella to your skincare.
Centella is not all about skincare but hair care and body care - it stimulates hair growth and fights cellulite. Using Centella after pregnancy is a clever move!

One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner - Scent & Texture
One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner is a typical skin toner - it has a watery texture. The scent is natural and herbal, it feels bit strong, but I enjoy it a lot.
One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner - Ingredients
Centella Asiatica Extract, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol
Centella Asiatica Extract is probably the most popular extract in skincare. It comes under a few names - Asiatic pennywort, tiger grass or Gotu kola. Centella Asiatica's roots are in Ayurveda. This extract is successful because it's a source of triterpene saponins - madecassoside and asiaticoside. Centella Asiatica Extract has anti-inflammatory properties. It speeds up the wound healing process. You can use it to treat acne since it has soothing and antibacterial properties. It boosts fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin or even helps with hyaluronic acid synthesis. Centella is recommended for rosacea and cellulitis since it helps with blood microcirculation. In hair care, Centella can help with hair growth. Butylene Glycol is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. 1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis.
How does One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner work?
I have to admit, when I started to see One Thing pop up on Instagram, I was surprised by how minimalistic and mystic this brand was! Many new brands are coming up each year or even month, but One Thing had a great idea - release products based on simple formulas. Products that focus on one ingredient. I believe Centella Asiatica Extract Toner was the first product from One Thing which I saw. For the last few years, Centella is being huge in skincare. Who doesn't love Centella? A super powerful herb that fits every skin type.
The One Thing formulas are simple, but they work. One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner has the right pH for my skin - 5.2 is a good value for the toner. Back in the day, toner's purpose was to balance the skin after cleansing. Nowadays, we use toners for additional moisture added to the skin. Still, the pH of the toner matters a lot to me. My skin is super sensitive to all the changes in the pH. One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner is a true toner - it's not a thick formula, it's more like a "Skin" than a typical thick Kbeauty toner. I have to admit that I had to check some things which brand recommended.
I'm not often seeing brands that recommend mixing their products with other products to create DIY products. One Thing does! The brand recommends using the One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner in a few ways. One of the ideas is to use One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner as a regular toner or switch the packaging and use it as a mist. If you're not a fan of tapping the moisture into the skin, mist might work better for you.
Another idea is to mix on a hand 5-10% of a cream, lotion or skin with One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner. I haven't tried this one, but maybe someone will enjoy it. There's also an idea to mix two toners in one for example One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner and One Thing Artemisia Capillaris Extract Toner. Since the One Thing collection isn't very huge but has a few interesting products, I added them below so you can find the full variety of One Thing products. The brand recommended mixing 20% of Centella and 80% of Artemisia toners. There's also another way to use One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner, but before that, I want to go through some other information.
One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner has a very simple formula, that's why this product is recommended to be used in a short period after opening - 6 months is optimal. It's good to store the product in a cool place and avoid the sun to make sure it'll stay fresh longer. What is amazing about One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner - this product can be used during pregnancy, but the brand recommends to patch testing every product before using it. It doesn't matter if you're pregnant or not - a patch test is important.
The other idea what you can do with One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner is using it with One Thing Multi Big Pad. That's my favourite way of using One Thing Multi Big Pad and One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner because this creates a toner mask that saves my skin during warm days and every time my skin gets irritated - and that happens a lot lately.
One Thing Multi Big Pad is a box of 70 pads, each pad has a 7cm diameter and contains no fluorescent whitening agent.
I think that my first experience with One Thing is good and I believe One Thing Centella Asiatica Extract Toner might find a sure place in my stash since my sensitive skin is a true fan of Centella. Still, I want to introduce you to other products from One Thing to show you how nice the entire collection is.

Funny fact about Houttuynia - it's also called Fish Wort, Fish Leaf, etc. because it's an edible plant and it usually leaves a fishy aftertaste.

It's a long polysaccharide - nothing else than sugar, and we all know what sugars do in the skin. It's not different from Hyaluronic Acid - it acts like humectant. One HA molecule is supposed to hold up to 1000x heavier molecules than this one single HA molecule. Hyaluronic acid can have different molecular weights - smaller molecules are usually more hydrating than bigger ones. Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer as the name says is related to Sodium Hyaluronate. It's a strong water-binding moisturizer, it hydrates your skin and prevents TEWL. Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate or miniHA is a Sodium Hyaluronate in a very low molecule (below 500 Da). This ingredient is a cousin of Hyaluronic Acid, it can have positive effects on the moisture of the skin since the small molecule can easily penetrate the skin. The problem is in the size of the molecule - smaller molecules can be better, but there's also a risk that they might cause inflammation.

Water hides in a cosmetic product under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. Diglycerin is not the same as Glycerin, but it's also a humectant. Polyglycerin-3 or triglycerin is a humectant. Butylene Glycol is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent.

Houttuynia Cordata is a plant, which we still use in Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine, it's also known as Heart Leaf or Chinese lizard tail. Funny fact about Houttuynia - it's also called Fish Wort, Fish Leaf, etc. because it's an edible plant and it usually leaves a fishy aftertaste. I eat fish a lot, but I'm not a fan of the fishy taste of low-quality matcha (yep, I'm a tea & fish snob) so I don't think I would enjoy it, I'll stay with enjoying Houttuynia magic in skincare. Houttuynia is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Trehalose is sugar and another moisturizer in this formula.

This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. Hydrogenated Polydecene or Alphaflow, it's an emollient, and it's excellent for sensitive skin. Caprylyl Methicone is an emollient and volatile silicone. Silicones are good for the skin since they work as occlusives - what they do is protect the skin from dehydration. Volatile silicones are evaporating from the skin, they won't get absorbed by the skin, that's why you shouldn't be scared. If you're allergic then the good news is that the chance of getting allergic reactions to silicones is ultra-tiny! Still, every skin reacts differently that's why it's better to test on your own what ingredient works better for you and then decide if you want it in your makeup (or skincare) or not. Betaine is an amino acid. In skincare products, we use it for its moisturizing properties. Betaine keeps the water balance of the skin.

It might help with reducing wrinkle visibility on the epidermis. Some sources say it might be an antioxidant.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. Olivem 1000 is a combination of Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate. It's a natural emulsifier, and beauty companies use it to create an oil-in-water emulsion. Worth mentioning it's a biodegradable formula. Panthenol is a humectant.

It is good to mix it with niacinamide and zinc oxide. You can see it in products for atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. Beeswax or Cire D'abeille (or Cera Alba) is a non-vegan (and vegetarian) friendly emollient. Cyclomethicone is not only an emollient, humectant and thickener but also a silicone. I'm aware that because of the internet, people treat silicones like the worst ingredients you can find in a product. But are they as bad as people say? No! Silicones are good for the skin since they work as occlusives - what they do is protect the skin from dehydration. Cyclomethicone is a volatile silicone, which means that once you apply it to the surface of your skin, it will evaporate. It won't get absorbed by the skin, that's why you shouldn't be scared. If you're allergic then the good news is that the chance of getting allergic reactions to silicones is very rare.

It's a humectant with soothing and wound-healing properties. Hydrolyzed Collagen is a smaller version of collagen. In general, collagen works as a film ingredient, because its molecules are too big to get through the skin layers, that's why we use Vitamin C & other ingredients to boost collagen production. Both - regular & hydrolyzed versions are great moisturizers. Hydrolyzed Elastin strengthens the skin. Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer is a powder that absorbs sebum. You can usually find it in makeup for its flawless finishing. Adenosine naturally occurs in the skin. One of the adenosine's roles in our bodies is being a neurotransmitter.

Petrolatum is an emollient. Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a polymer and a dry emollient. Some people like to call it a synthetic squalane. You shouldn't mistake both of these ingredients. Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is similar to squalane, people use it as a substitute, but after all, it's a synthetic substance that makes your skin smooth. Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil - is not an oil but a wax ester. It's an emollient and it is very similar to human sebum which makes it a great ingredient for the skin. Olea Europaea is an olive tree, the literal name means European Olive, and the name fits it well since it's a plant which you can find in the Mediterranean region of Europe, but there are other places where Olive can be found. Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil is a source of oleic acid (around 83%), linoleic acid and palmitic acid. It's a liquid oil with a long tradition. In skincare, it is used as an antioxidant and emollient, it's a good moisturizer, but it can be a bit comedogenic. Still, it's an individual thing if an ingredient breaks you out or not - it can but it doesn't mean it will. Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil is sometimes called "a gold of Morocco", this oil is super popular in skincare. It's an oily emollient, full of oleic acid. It's not the best choice for acne-prone skin, but sensitive and mature skin types enjoy it a lot. It helps to revitalize the skin, that's why you might see it recommended for scars or stretch marks. Argan oil is a wonderful ingredient for hair - it hydrates and nourishes the hair. Even if Argan oil is popular, we should remember that it won't make miracles. Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil is an essential oil. It gives an orange scent to the product.
