Frequently Asked Questions
We are looking into improving the opening and dropper, perhaps by making a larger opening or using a pump would be better. Covid shutting down the packaging fairs pushed this development back a year, however we are studying this improvement so please be patient
We admit, this is an usual smelling face mask oil and unfortunately we are unable to improve on this for the moment. The reason is that some of the potent oils used in the mask have an unusual natural smell because they are in their uncooked, un frozen and unbleached natural state. This keeps up to 80% more of the nutrients but unfortunately the strange natural scent to.
We are working on improving the formula to smell more beautiful without losing its potency
As we do not use any synthetic chemicals it is very difficult to keep some of our products from splitting if they are exposed to extreme heat or cold during transport. If this happens please shake your product before each use to mix it. Do not worry the product is not damaged and will still provide all the same benefits.
Please note that we are continually working to find a natural binder to prevent products splitting.
A serum is a form of skin care product that is quickly absorbed in the skin because it contains high concentration of active ingredients. On top of that, serums penetrate faster and deeper into the skin which makes them more effective because they are made of smaller molecules.Serums are highly concentrated, unlike face creams that contain larger molecules and large quantities of water? so offer intense results
For best results apply the serum twice a day.
First wash your face with a good quality chemical free soap and pat semi dry then apply a small amount of serum and massage in with an upward motion until well absorbed. Finish by patting your face gently all over. If applying an SPF on top of your serum, wait 5 to 10 minutes for the serum to absorb well first
This is a general guideline only:
Women under 55 years old or pre menopause
Normal, mixed or slightly dry skin: Recommended serum- Advanced Repair
Dry skin: Recommended serum- Time Response
Very dry skin: Recommended serum- Hydration Pro
Women over 55 years old or post menopause
Does not suffer from dry skin: Recommended serum- Advanced Repair
Dry Skin: Recommended serum- Time Response
Very Dry skin: Recommended serum- Time Response for the day and Hydration Pro at night
Under 35 year olds:
Recommended serum - Advanced Repair or Pure Rosehip oil or Pure Argan oil
Highly sensitive or allergic skin: Select the serum according to your skin type above and select the version minus the essential oils
The serums contain masses of antioxidants and antimicrobial properties that will protect it for at least 3 months once opened. The serum needs to be kept away from direct sunlight and bright lights but otherwise will live quite happily in your bathroom.
You should not need to apply any other products when using our serums as they provide a complete care, however if you still wish to then please wait 5 to 10 minutes for the serum to absorb before applying other products
Yes you can, we have some clients who love to use one of the serums in the morning and a different one at night. For example the Advanced Repair in the morning as it it lighter for the day and then the Time Response or Hydration Pro at night as it is heavier.
Although the serums contain masses of antioxidants proven to reverse sun damage and boost the skin to protect itself from UV rays, it's better to also apply an SPF on top of the serum if going out in bright sun.
Yes it's fine although generally unnecessary as our serums are complex and complete face care all in one
Yes you can use the Advanced Repair if you are starting to see signs of ageing. If you are not yet experiencing signs of ageing then all you will need is our Pure Argan oil or Pure Rosehip oil
We recommend 40 years and above for best results
My products have been formulated especially for rosacea prone skin and should help your condition greatly.
- Newborn baby soap twice a day
- Advanced Repair serum minus essential oils twice a day
Even if you are allergic to eating almonds, have you tried sweet almond oil on your skin already? Perhaps the oil does not contain the same substance as the pulp of the nut. Just an idea. You can order samples on our website if you’d like to try the serums as they only contain small amounts of almond oil.
Absolutely, we are experiencing huge results from most of our clients who's skin pigmentation has faded or completely disappeared
One 30ml bottle lasts 4 to 5 weeks if used twice a day everyday.
It’s a surfactant of vegetable origin. It comes from coconut and improves the texture of the serum. Not to be confused with SLS, which is unsafe and synthetic
SLSA is a natural substance derived from coconut, not to be confused with SLS, which is an irritant, and usually synthetic - SLSA brings to the table many elements that are very beneficial to the skin. What might just be the greatest quality of this surfactant is that it can be used on every type of skin and hair. We feel this characteristic is important, and products with SLSA work really nicely for people with dry and sensitive skin. There are so many different skin conditions out there such as eczema, rosacea, acne, and psoriasis. We want to be able to cater to our customers and provide them with products that will work for all types of skin. This is just one of the reasons we decided to add SLSA to our products.
Yes, it can be used around the eyes and gives great results for this area. If you have eyes that are highly sensitive to essential oils then please choose the version minus essential oil
All our products are made at the Swiss Toniq headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland under strict control
For the absolute best results you should wash twice a day with a Swiss Toniq soap followed by the serum of your choice
Once a week apply the Dead Sea mud mask or the Hydration Pro mask
One to three times a week exfoliate with our New skin facial polish
This is a complete care routine and nothing more is needed
The ingredients can be found on the individual product page of each item (see photos) and also on the back of each product.
The Advanced repair serum without the essential oils does not loose any skin benefits, it’s more about fragrance.
You should try the Make up remover soap
It has all the base ingredients, as most of our other soaps minus the essential oil so should not sting the eyes. It’s the essential oils that sting so much.
They are safe because they are 100% natural and clinically tested however there is some controversy around using essential oils during pregnancy so ideally you should choose the versions without essential oils if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Yes. All our ingredients are clinically tested and certified.
Yes, you can order serum samples on our website and we always send out a sopa sample with these.
We are currently working on having more samples for all our products in the near future.
Absolutely not. We are an animal loving company. All our products are vegan and not tested on animals. We also donate a percentage of our profits to an animal charity every year.
Natural products do perish fast when in contact with the air, however not oil based ones, especially when they have so many antioxidants and antibacterial properties as our products, rather like Olive oil that can stay in the cupboard for months and be opened daily and still not deteriorate, so please do not worry about the product spoiling as long as it’s used within 3 months of opening and kept out of strong light and sunlight.
We have seen impressive and fast results form our clients of all ages when using the following products and routine:
1) Wash face twice a day with the Charcoal and Dead Sea Salt soap. This will pull all debris and excess sebum from deep within pores and pores will then reduce in size. You can even leave the soap on your skin up to a minute before rinsing for better results.
2) Apply the Advanced Repair serum (or Pure Argan oil if you are under 30 years old), once or twice a day. This will nourish, repair and protect your skin, while also rebalancing it.
3) Use the New Skin Facial polish exfoliant once to three times a week (after washing with the soap). This will remove the dead skin that is blocking the excess sebum and debris from escaping.Note that on the days you use this exfoliant, you will not need to apply the serum or Argan oil afterwards as our exfoliant is unique and highly moisturizing.
4) Apply the Dead Sea mud mask once a week. This will provide an intensive detox and boost with masses of minerals

It can happen when you fist use any of the serums that your skin breaks out or looks oily. This is a good thing and is usually due to years of debris and excess sebum rising to the surface as your skin purges out the dirt, the problem is that this dirt cannot get out so you need to use a high quality exfoliant once or twice a week for a week or two in order to remove the dead skin that is blocking the pores. Your skin will purge and rebalance in a week and then will be radiant and better than ever so please be patient.
If you are allergic to any of the oils, botanicals or essential oils your skin will become red, flaky and itchy. If this happens stop using the product and contact us with photos and we will find you a better solution or replacement product for you at no extra cost.
If in any way you are unhappy with your choice of products we will be happy to send you a credit note for another product.

If your discount does not work it's possible that you have added items to your cart that either already have a discount or have a free gift with them. Only one discount or free gift may be used at a time.
If it still does not work, it may be a one-time discount code that you have already used before and therefore cannot reuse.
Sorry about that. Sometimes emails with coupon codes can take up to 15 minutes to arrive. Please also check your spam folder to make sure the discount code email has not ended up there.
I'm afraid we don't have a rewards system as such in place yet (although we are working on it).
We are working on having customer cards or fidelity cards for our clients in the near future. However, we do offer the "recurring delivery and save" option for now.
Can I still get a discount?
I'm afraid once the order has been processed you can no longer add the discount code or request a discount but don't worry you can save it and use it next time.
With the collaboration of a well known Swiss Biochemist and organic cosmetics laboratory, Swiss Toniq was founded in Geneva, Switzerland by British born mother, ex horse breeder and professional showjumping rider Fiona Pittaluga-Nicholls in 2017, after a horse fall that left her with a broken spine and woke her up to healing and caring for her body.
She wasn't happy that many products claiming to be "organic" or "natural" actually contained dangerous chemicals and that todays skincare products were made up of cooked, bleached ingredients that were dead and gave unimpressive results. She realized that her skin issues and minor illnesses all disappeared once she removed chemical skincare from her daily routine.
She was also disappointed about the gross amount of single use plastic packaging being used. This being not only harmful to the environment but also leaking toxins in to the products that you then put on your skin.
She discovered that most existing products contained only 1% to 10% of the valuable actives they claimed and that the remaining content was useless and sometimes harmful fillers.
She wanted to bring higher quality products to women, products that actually worked and were not bulked up or diluted or contribute to illness...
Products where women PAY FOR AMAZING INGREDIENTS... AND NOT for the celebrity sponsorships, masses of glossy packaging and huge advertising campaign costs that are routinely added into products.
The Swiss Toniq brand (Darwin Capital SARL company) has been in business since the end of 2017.
We intend to continue serving our clients efficiently and effectively with our high quality products, which are 100 percent organic. We have received awards on both national and international levels. You can view this on our website on the products section.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@swisstoniq.com.
Absolutely! Swiss Toniq products are strictly not tested on animals and are also a vegan so no animals by-products are used in any of our products.
We also sponsor an animal charity in Portugal and give a percentage of out proceeds each month in order to help them care for poor animals.
We are located in Plan-les-Ouates, on the outskirts of Geneva, Switzerland. If you need any more information in regards to this, please contact us at info@swisstoniq.com.
Yes, they all are, we like to help our planet. We use alluminum and glass bottles only, no plastic bottles and all our card and paper packaging is made from recycled paper.
